I believe this amendment was an important element of idea of a military provided for fully by the Congress, and not directly by the citizens, ensuring that we all as citizens share the burden of funding/supporting the army.

It is hard to see there being much conflict over this one in a time in which the government has the money to provide facilities for its troops, and doesn't rely on forcing its presence on unwilling citizens.
