Drummond (2002a; 2005; 2010) has found that men will use sport and health-related sports acts to conceal these concerns from others. Accordingly, men’s body dissatisfactions are documented less frequently because the practices drawn upon to conceal them are perceived as routine forms of masculine behaviour. Rugby union is one of the most popular sports played by young men in England. Historically, the male rugby player is culturally perceived as strong, tough and unemotionally articulate. Existing research draws attention to health issues, such as performance stress and injury that arise through participation in this sport. Research also shows that rugby union players are likely to experience concerns about gaining weight, yet these are disguised within the requirements of training for the sport. Although, there are studies that examine the constitution of masculinities, the experience of pain and injury and career transitions among rugby union players there are no studies, as yet, that examine how rugby union men experience body concerns and manage these experiences through their sport.

  • GREECE No Satisfaction: the Failures of Alternative Civilian Service
    GREECE No satisfaction: the failures of alternative civilian service On 1 January 1998 Law 2510/97 on conscription, which had been passed by the Greek Parliament in June 1997, entered into force. For the first time, the law included a provision for alternative civilian service, a move which Amnesty International welcomed after years of campaigning for the release of conscientious objectors who were until then serving sentences of up to four years’ imprisonment for insubordination. Law 2510/97 states that conscientious objector status and civilian alternative service or unarmed military service are available to conscripts declaring themselves opposed to the personal use of arms for fundamental reasons of conscience based on religious, philosophical, ideological or moral convictions (Article 18, paragraphs 1, 2 and 3). However, Amnesty International is concerned not only that some of its provisions still fall short of international standards, but also that its application remains unsatisfactory or even clearly discriminatory against conscientious objectors. International Standards on Conscientious Objection Recommendation No. R (87) 8 of the Committee of Ministers to Member States of the Council of Europe Regarding Conscientious Objection to Compulsory Military Service of 9 April 1987 recommends that “[a]lternative service shall not be of a punitive nature. Its duration shall, in comparison to that of military service, remain within reasonable limits” (§10). The 1987 Recommendation of the Council of Europe Committee of Minister asserts that “applications for conscientious objector status shall be made in ways and within time limits to be determined having due regard to the requirement that the procedure for the examination of an application should, as a rule, be completed before the individual concerned is actually enlisted in the forces”.

  • Indian Seamen in World War I Prison Camps in Germany1
    Südasien-Chronik - South Asia Chronicle 5/2015, S. 63-91 © Südasien-Seminar der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ISBN: 978-3-86004-316-5 Indian Seamen in World War I Prison Camps in Germany1 FRANZISKA ROY [email protected] This article deals with the experiences of internment, camp life, and work in the labour corps of Indian civilian prisoners of war in Germany during the First World War. We still do not know exactly how many civilian colonial prisoners were interned during the war, but the number of Indians among them exceeded 860 out of a total 2.5 million prisoners approximately in German camps (Oltmer 2006: 68; Davis 1977: 623). This may seem like an almost negligible number in terms of quantity but a study of these men can enrich our understanding of 63 the German ‘campscapes’ and of the structures that were constitutive in forming the experiences that Indian prisoners communicated to those outside the camps during and after the war.2 Among these are the shifting hierarchies and networks in the camps, the tension between German expectations of prisoners’ behaviour and their own life worlds, as well as their conscious adaptation to and subversion of German official knowledge about them. In the Great War as the first ‘total war’, propaganda played an important role, and technical advancements such as the advent of the cinema and cheap reproduction of photographs accelerated the propa- ganda war. Internally, many warring states endeavoured to influence their prisoners in some way, especially those from colonial back- grounds or ethnic minorities. For instance, while Germany publicly decried France’s and Britain’s supposed crime against civilisation by letting non-white, barbaric “half-monkeys” or “dogs” fight ‘white men’, it attempted to win over these colonial prisoners at the same time (Koller 2001: 101-24).

  • The Broken Promises of an All-Volunteer Military
    THE BROKEN PROMISES OF AN ALL-VOLUNTEER MILITARY * Matthew Ivey “God and the soldier all men adore[.] In time of trouble—and no more, For when war is over, and all things righted, God is neglected—and the old soldier slighted.”1 “Only when the privileged classes perform military service does the country define the cause as worth young people’s blood. Only when elite youth are on the firing line do war losses become more acceptable.”2 “Non sibi sed patriae”3 INTRODUCTION In the predawn hours of March 11, 2012, Staff Sergeant Robert Bales snuck out of his American military post in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and allegedly murdered seventeen civilians and injured six others in two nearby villages in Panjwai district.4 After Bales purportedly shot or stabbed his victims, he piled their bodies and burned them.5 Bales pleaded guilty to these crimes in June 2013, which spared him the death penalty, and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.6 How did this former high school football star, model soldier, and once-admired husband and father come to commit some of the most atrocious war crimes in United States history?7 Although there are many likely explanations for Bales’s alleged behavior, one cannot help but to * The author is a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy.
