The forced induction of a person into the armed forces. In the USA, this typically applies only to healthy young heterosexual males with low lottery numbers, non-exempt religions & poor political connections. Proponents of the draft cite advantages over a voluntary army: lower cost, ethnic diversity (but not gender), greater governmental reluctance to enter wars. These claims have yet to be documented however. Both Republicans & Democrats are split on this issue & will generally let public opinion guide them. Libertarians oppose the draft as mere time-share slavery, & lacking any of the claimed benefits.
The military draft appears to violate the US Constitution's prohibition against involuntary servitude.

Get the Militant Atheist mug.Is an Orwellian inspired New Speak word, popularized by a notable dictator, to describe a scorched-earth war of unimaginable devastation that seeks to eliminate all people that don't swear fealty to the dictator. This specific type of war begins with military exercises and conscripts being told that they're going into a territory just for training purposes. Upon arriving in a foreign land, the military orders their troops to commit themselves to destroying apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, power plants, sewage and waste water treatment plants, indiscriminately killing civilians, as well as committing numerous war crimes. During public interviews, special-military-operation will be used in place of all of these horribly messy details in an attempt to sanitize a brutal and inhumane war that the dictator has instigated.
To spend several days watching news broadcasts on the main state channels, as well as surveying state-controlled newspapers, is to witness the extent of the Kremlin’s efforts to sanitize its war with the Orwellian term “special-military-operation” — and to make all news coverage align with that message.
