are singapore soldiers world-class militarymen?

toothie SG

please dont choke on your fishball on seeing this topic, like i just did. *choke*choke*

imagine those are our soldiers fighting the iraqi war now... i think they cannot make it. have you seen our fresh NSmen? they look like blur schoolboys.

can those blur schoolboys really defend our country?

kohanson SG

I think that our army are like newbies, never fought war before.. and might be shaking when they heard real firings, bombs, missles…

sugardaddy SG

our army is not for offensive purpose….is for defence.

www SG

hahaha. world-class? maybe not.

good enough to defend our country? yes.

foga SG

given the singaporean mentality, by the time the enemy attacks singapore, all able bodied men and women would have left the country.

eskyzone SG

Dun think so, as far as I noe, most are willingly to fight for their love one in Spore. I think weapon wise, we are among the best in south east asia. Wat we lack is mentality. Confused

kopiosatu SG

that's if its not a pre-emptive strike from you know who.

kopiosatu SG

well, we're trained to defend against you know who, who's population has almost no military training.

in a war, who wouldn't be afraid? the guys in iraq now are probably feeling the same fear we'd feel when someone attacks us.
basically we know what we have to do... put on camo, hide in the bushes and shoot the morons who attacked us.

blur schoolboys they may be, but its better than having no one to defend our country

kopiosatu SG

to me, if someone attacks you.
there wont be commercial flights leaving the country anytime soon.
and when someone punches u, you'll hit back rite?
so ppl can say all they want about running away, but in the end we'll be cornered, get du lan and say 'f*ck it, i know how to use the rifle, let's just blast them out of the country'

eskyzone SG

True, when one is corner, he will strike back. Razz

What you have to realise is that the US soldiers are all regulars and signed on by their own will. Where as compared to Singapore which enforces mandatory conscription.

Not everyone is alright with spending 2- 2.5 yrs of their lives in the army. That is why in most unit, alot of men give 50% to what task thay are assigned to do, and all that is in their mind is to ORD.

eskyzone SG

I just ORD.. From wat I see, abt 40-50% of the NSF are quite willing Very Happy . Another 30-40% serve half-hearted Smile and the rest are the unwilling grp Sad .

AzRaeL SG

defend the country for WHO?
we don't own it. do you really want to die just to keep the million dollar a year ministers in power?

JLennon SG

i agree that most of us are willing to fight for our loved ones here. and that is why we aren't that good offensively,

ratinacage SG

yes we r willing to fight for our love ones,but at wat cost?at wat price?like someone says,or are we jus fighting to keep the million $$$ a day PMs in their paper throne?i think some of u have the wrong impression of war.it doesnt have to be like the japanese occupation. esp. in this mordern day.sometimes its jux like changing a set of rulers. could turn out worse or could turn out better. goes both ways. Twisted Evil

De|usi0n SG

if there is a price on the enemies's head, singapore will fight hard...

better if the enemies comes with visa applications, vochures, free hello kitty and such
