No reason to. It would be like having a college campus full of professors & instructors and NO STUDENTS.
It would be like having a hospital with a medical staff of 500 (as an example) doctors and nurses; and NO PATIENTS.
It would be like having a town (community, city, etc.) with a population of 5,000 people (as an example), with 500 Deputies/Police officers and NO CRIME.
It would be like a prison taking up 500 acres (as an example), and employing 500 staff members (at taxpayer's expense), and NO INMATES.
It would be like drafting people for a 300,000 person army, when there's already 300,000 unemployed people wanting to earn thousands of dollars a month PLUS thousands of dollars worth of re-enlistment incentive bonuses to JOIN THE MILITARY. And the United States is not even fighting any foreign country (at war with any nation or power).
