She must admit that she was not immediately enthusiastic. It was the late 1990s, she had graduated in social and political philosophy, and had been tipped off about a job at the Royal Military Academy in Breda. This is where the officers of the armed forces are trained. They wanted to further elaborate ‘the ethics of military practice’. Someone was there one day a week, but the new position was a full-time appointment. ,,I thought: I am not a soldier myself, what am I supposed to do there? But the research program looked very interesting and it was a nice group of people. So then I said ‘yes’.”
