I don’t think the military is dying at a noticeable rate, especially as “cannon fodder.” A quick Google says deaths by hostile action hasn’t broken the triple digits annually over the last decade. I also didn’t really look at the other deaths, so feel free to dive into that side.

This is about the draft. We haven’t drafted in forever either, but you can bet if they draft it’s because cannon fodder is needed.
We haven’t drafted in 50 years. That’s nothing
I’m catching a vibe you didn’t read the initial comment you posted to.
That’s a big if, as you noted US hasn’t drafted in forever. But even if they did draft, the US hasn’t used “cannon fodder” tactics for several decades. Their technology is so advanced (and military budget/spending so high) they don’t need to in order to win. Trench warfare ain’t really a thing anymore.
