Pejorative name for someone who has taken action to evade
the draft.
In the
United States during
the sixties, many eligible citizens (that is, young males) schemed to avoid service in
Vietnam. They did this because they thought the war sucked, or objected to it on moral grounds, or just didn't want to go.
Famous Hawkish Guys Who Did Not Dodge The Draft include
Dan Quayle, who heroically got a note from his dad that said he did not have to get his balls blown off in the war but could join the national guard instead, and
George W. Bush Jr., who heroically got a note from his dad that said he was nursing a perforated septum but would join the national guard, and
Pat Buchanan who had an ouchie on his knee all during the war but is better now thank you.
