"Hao3 Nan2 Yao4 Dang1 Bing1" or "Hao3 Nan2 Bu4 Dang1 bing1"?

saw an article on Lianhe Zaobao on the pianist (i forgot his name but his surname was Tan), 40+ years old liao, when he reached 18 he escaped from NS and he paid 3000 dollars fine for that.

Then there is another article by a reporter of Lianhe Zaobao titled "Hao3 Nan2 Yao4 Dang1 Bing1", which means that good men should go to army. He does not support the idea of "Hao3 Nan2 Bu4 Dang1 bing1" which means that good men should not go to the army.

So, "Hao3 Nan2 Yao4 Dang1 Bing1" or "Hao3 Nan2 Bu4 Dang1 bing1"? What do you all think?

I think that "Hao3 Nan2 Yao4 Dang1 Bing1"... Very Happy

It all depends on what kinda soldier the country makes of you.

If the country makes their soldiers shoot unarmed protestors like tianamen, then its no good to be a soldier.
If the country trains its soldiers to defend the country and freedom, thats a good soldier.

I still look at National Service as a training ground to make milk drinking boys into beer drinking adults.

Most guys will agree with me that NS has made them more manly. Ask any gal between 18 to 23, whether they like men who been through NS a not?

You like it or not, guys go through a change in their life in NS. We become more mature, since " With great powers comes great responsiblities".

Just to side track a bit, I was very suprise in my last ICT. Even though I was transfered to another platoon, me and my new platoon mates still fight side by side with the kind of coordination that only years of training could achieve. I think this is due to the standardized training programe that we all went through even though at different time. Incredible... since these guys are 5 years my junior.... Shocked

huaqing SG

what point are u trying to sae here?

huaqing SG

i agree to a certain extent.

Army training is a challenge for some people, but if you can overcome it, you can overcome other big obstacles in life.

It means screw the 27th army. These are not honourable soldiers.

Have you heard: “Hao3 Nan2 Bu4 Dang1 Bing1, Hao3 Diet3 Bu4 Da3 Ding1? If the state was as immoral and decadent as the Ancient China, it might be true that “Good men don’t serve the army and Good Iron doesn’t make good nail.

huaqing SG

and what is the 27th army?

Salman SG

You call yourself a Chinese and don’t know what is the 27th army. FU.

I really hate my mum for not signing me up for music(piano, violin etc) when i’m young. If they did, by now i would have already developed my music talents. See, now i’m gonna serve NS because of my mum. How i wish i can pay 3K and stay out of this place. I really like other country. peace.

Huh? Don't make sense.

You've mentioned the country. Yes, it's the country that decides on how the soldiers will be disciplined and conduct.
Out of point la.

skyfoo SG

leave the country then, we can survive without u better

Salman SG

If as a soldier, I am told to shoot unarmed civilians with live bullets, I will disobey orders.

huaqing SG

but if the solider is told to shoot protestors because the protestors listened to USA?

Salman SG

It doesn't matter whether they listen to their mamas, USA or their conscience, there is no justification for shooting unarmed protestors with live bullets.

Communists degraded soldiering.

huaqing SG

now the Tian An Men incident is a mystery which different ppl have different versions of the story.

there is no evidence to say that the soldiers were asked to shoot bullets at the protestors

anyway it happened long before my birth

so i dun noe much about it

btw please avoid going out of topic thx

Salman SG

mystery? You mean the soldiers did not use live bullets on the protestors?

huaqing SG

i already said that there is no evidence

and no one really know what really happened

if u know so well then it means you were actually at the scene on that day?

SilverPal SG

If your commander in chief told you to give "white horse" treatment to certain VIPs in your BMT camp, will you? Why?

SilverPal SG

I bet the communists are saying the same thing about capitalists...
