Abstract

Schrijver van dit boek, Ghislain Lacante, die dolgraag onderwijzer wenste te worden, vertelt in dit boekje over de perikelen tijdens zijn tocht naar het onderwijzersschap die volgens hem gepaard gingen met heel wat muizenissen. In de jaren '60 van vorige eeuw, bestond de militaire dienstplicht nog en diende hij gedurende 12 maanden het vaderland in het bezette West-Duitsland. Hij had het geluk om dit in functie van onderwijzer te mogen uitoefenen. Zo kwam hij terecht in het Duitse stadje Goch bij een Belgische sectie van de luchtmacht, verbonden aan de NAVO-kazerne van Rheindalen in Mönchengladbach, onderdeel van de tweede ATAF (Allied Tactical Air Force). De Belgische afdeling bestond uit zowel Nederlandstalige als Franstalige militairen. De auteur vertelde vaak aan familie, vrienden en collega's over de taalperikelen die hij tijdens zijn legerdienst mocht ervaren en het daarbij gepaard gaande verschijnsel van de "kiskieldies". Zij maanden hem aan om dit ooit eens neer te schrijven. Corona zorgde voor een uitgelezen moment om dit item van zijn bucketlist af te werken.

Abstract

In 2009, President Obama and Secretary Shinseki committed to ending homelessness among Veterans. In support of that effort, the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness 2010 developed by the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) established as one of its goals to prevent and end homelessness among Veterans in five years. An understanding of the epidemiology of homelessness among Veterans and the methodological strengths and weaknesses of this evidence base may inform program-planning efforts and future research needs. Understanding the risk factors for homelessness among Veterans and how these risk factors compare to the general population is important in developing identification and prevention programs for Veterans at risk for homelessness. This report was requested by VA Central Office and The National Center for Homelessness Among Veterans as part of that effort to identify what is known and what is not known about the prevalence of homelessness among Veterans, and about the risk factors for homelessness among Veterans, including risk factors related to military service and incarceration.

Abstract

What makes people fight and risk their lives for a country other than their own? Why did diverse individuals such as the poet Lord Byron, the writer George Orwell, the Argentinean revolutionary Che Guevara, and the young Saudi extremist Osama bin Laden all turn to foreign military service? From Byron to bin Laden makes a historian's examines the phenomenon of war volunteers who have travelled abroad to fight on the basis of a personal decision, without being sent by their governments and not strictly for the sake of material gain. Although fighting for very different causes, these volunteers shared a number of commonalities; they tended to superimpose their beliefs and perceptions on the wars they joined, while a personal search for meaning invariably underlined their actions. Through a comprehensive study of the history of foreign volunteering from the wars of the French Revolution to the present, the book opens up a broad range of questions that relate to individual motivations, ideology, gender, state-citizen relations, international law, military significance, radicalization and the memory of war.--
