conscription age

基本解釋

In 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, Congress passed a conscription law making all men between twenty and forty-five years of age liable for military service.
1863年美國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)中期，國會通過了一項要求所有20到45歲的美國男人必須服義務(wù)兵的法律。

This is something of a Catch-22 insofar as all men of conscription age are expected to serve in the military and, therefore, will be deemed to have been exposed to state secrets.
