Conscriptee

[…] the conscriptee must reduce the real cost of the army. The reason is, while the military values the conscriptee's services equally with the volunteer's, in order to make it worthwhile for the conscriptee to have the volunteer take his place, the conscriptee must value his nonmilitary opportunities more than the volunteer does.

Perhaps it is implausible or simply false to say that the unwilling conscriptee drafted to serve in a foreign war has “consented” to the draft law in any even minimally meaningful sense.
