Is there a alternative to NS?

inf4ntry SG

this is an outrage, serving NS is the best thing that can ever happen to anyone, it's serving your nation, your Singapore.

how can you not be proud or happy? this is madness!

nation above self, remember this and you will have a better life.

GOD BLESS SINGAPORE!

hire professional army...

can lor...

but think of the costs...

think of the hike in taxes....

then future procurements wouldnt be as vast as now too cos govt need to think about paying the soldiers too...

try to ponder on this

how much does it cost to run 1 camp full of professional soldiers..inc maintenance of equipment.... food...things liddat

then u multiply this to the number of camps in singapore....

hisoka SG

How many active troops does Singapore need to deter aggression?

kengkia SG

Spartans SG

well-said. Since I ORDed, I will be very glad if the FTs can take over the IPPT, RTs and reservist as well.

Spartans SG

Are you talking about loyalty? Patriotism? In Singapore?!! Laughing

eagle SG

I get to know people in the army, and one of them actually helped me a lot in my schoolwork

kengkia SG

there's no patriotism to talk about since PAP rapes us the way the jeppies did in nanking to the women 60yrs back....that's why i say 'poked us in the backside'.... Laughing

Spartans SG

Ya, there is what I meant. Very Happy
