It would be part of the standard millions/billions used in the defense budget.
At the beginning of World War I in 1914, the United States had a relatively small standing army of about 100,000 soldiers. However, this number increased significantly after the U.S. entered the war in 1917, as the government implemented a draft and expanded military training programs to mobilize millions of troops. Ultimately, around 4.7 million Americans served in the military during the war.
The US military draft began in the US Civil War (1861-1865).
The 3 Most Common Examples of the Military Draft in the history of the U.S.A are The Confederacy put in their draft in 1862 The Union instituted their draft in 1862 (mass riots ensued in New York and Boston) In Vietnam the military instituted a draft in early 1969

Anti-War/anti-draft protesters, and people that agreed with them. US Soldiers were the most COMMON draftee. US Marines were the second group, potential draftees that were quick on their toes, got into the US Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guard. But most if not ALL US servicemen generally did not think highly of protesters/draft dodgers.

As in any war, even the victorious side has problems. The North had its share of them and one such problem involved conscription. Prior to the US Civil War the US never had to draft soldiers. In 1863 the US Congress set forth laws allowing the War Department to draft soldiers. This was one year after the South created its own draft laws.
