conscript
含义: To enlist someone compulsorily into military service. As a noun, a person who has been compulsorily enlisted rather than having volunteered.
Conscript is central to discussions of military history and defence policy. Britain introduced conscription in 1916 during the First World War and again in 1939; National Service continued until 1960. The word carries associations of reluctance, duty, and the tension between individual freedom and state authority. In figurative use, 'conscripted into' suggests being dragooned into something unwillingly — 'conscripted into the culture wars.' The noun 'conscription' is the standard term for mandatory military service.
