[ noun ] someone who is drafted into military service <noun.person>
And so it was that an incredulous Mort Walker, a cartoonist who once slogged through the mud at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., as an Army draftee in World War II, was ushered into the Pentagon on Thursday and given a hero's welcome.
"I had the choice of going to the Greyhound bus station (as a draftee) or into the Navy (as an officer).
"We always eat like this," insisted the crew-cut Soviet draftee, stuffing a hunk of black bread in his mouth as he gestured at white tablecloths, artfully arranged salad plates and hovering waiters in the "ordinary" soldiers' canteen.
In a recent episode, a draftee makes a speech about helping his friends even though he hates the war, and then proves himself to be (naturally) the unit's hero.
