How far did you have to hunt for that one?
Back here at Dictionary.com:
-- this could be before or after being drafted; before could mean contriving some fake exemption, or knowingly absenting oneself from availability. This would be the same as desertion, which is what you have listed above.
Let's look at a couple of examples, shall we?
Example the First:
A guy turns 18, but wants to avoid the draft. Let's call him "Ted" just to pick a random name. He's into guns and all that but doesn't want to put himself on the line. He just wants to play guitar. So he puts on a set of clothes for a month and shits in them, eats cheetos and burritos and never cleans himself up. Drives himself to serious health risks. Shows up at the draft board that way at the appointed time and they have no choice but to reject him.
Example the Second:
A teenager in Germany knows he has compulsory military service coming up (again, let's pick a random name and call him oh, I dunno, "Frederick Trump". He gets up in the wee hours of the night, sneaks out of the house and gets on a boat that eventually takes him to the States, out of his country. There he runs bordellos in the Pacific Northwest and builds a nest egg eventually taking a wife and returning to Germany. But the German authorities know about his desertion and deny hiim his citizenship back, so he has to migrate back to New York.
See how it works?
