Popis:	This chapter explores the problems faced by male conscripts into the former South African Defence Force. While conscripts came from English-speaking and Afrikaans-speaking communities, this chapter isolates the specific legacy issues of male Afrikaner conscripts. Conscripts exercise little choice in going to war and the forced nature of their military engagement as state veterans provokes unusual legacy issues compared to other state veterans. These legacy issues are thrown into particularly high relief by having fought on the losing side.
