Think how irony it would be if the country is being conquer without a fight (because the country have a little or no army).
Think Kuwait in 1990. A lesson to learn, a heavy price to pay.

Correct me if i'm wrong, i'm just in BMT, but the expirence so far as been great, tekan is kena tekan but you'll live what right? End up learning alot and making the quirkest friends lor, its like my section alone would be a damn interesting cross section of society.
i guess if it happens many or most of us won't volunteer, maybe for the few who scared kena charged will own up haha...
but for the fellows who have not gone in, i encourage u to look foreward to it, even i being in the fat moron company enjoy NS(BMT at least) and I can picture other people doing so as well...
Anywae comparing BMT to my bro's time nine years ago, i think the soliders have it good liao.
Happy National Day everyone !
I'm a sai kang warrior... just marching down the line...

Anyway, we simply cannot afford a full Regular Army, come on lah, we all how old liao, simple economics can understand right? If everything depend on full regular army styles, then we can be a country of mercenaries liao....
amospi said:We also depend on other from the world to play for our national team. So nothing wrong to be a country of mercenaries.. Being a Singaporean does not mean we have to cheap.
singscott said:Then people complain "Pay and Pay" lei. Mercenaries not cheap loh in fact very very expensive. Then if the situation not go their way, you expect them to be royal :dunno:
