Conscription (also known as "The Draft", the "Call-up" or "National service") is a general term for involuntary labor demanded by an established authority. It is most often used in the specific sense of requiring citizens to serve in the armed forces. It is known by various names — for example, the most recent conscription program in the United States was known colloquially as "the draft". Many nations do not maintain conscription forces, instead relying on a volunteer or professional military most of the time, although many of these countries still reserve the possibility of conscription for wartime and during times of crises.
Oh, I didn't doubt that it was a word Mike; was the first thing I could come up with and had never heard it before and no clue if it actually was one or if I was just inventing a new one......lol. I was doubting myself, not you....:) Thanks for the definition :)
