Btw, why got so many badges? SAF din even fight in war before.
They just want to make the uniform look nice only. But to me it
just a pile of useless badges. If u are US Marines 4 star general.
I think u dun even look upon our generals in Singapore. China same
too.
The Taiwanese army also has not engaged in combat. Since its
formation in 1948, the Korean army did not engage in any combat
since the 1950 Korean war until today in 2009, in which it was
completed whipped and raped by the communists, and only survived
because of American support and reinforcements.
Singapore has the SAF for the same reasons as Taiwan and Korea
have created, invested and trained their armed forces. It has to,
if only to safeguard its sovereignty which is the basest of needs,
far before economic imperatives. Of course, you don't possess
all this common knowledge known to people with brains, why do I
bother to wonder if you did? You speak and sound like a complete
bumpkin farmer.
Did you know that Singapore, when it was under the banner of
"Malaya", was engaged in armed conflict, not just against the
invading Japanese, but later on against the Indonesians
too?
The badges are not meant to decorate the uniforms only, like you
claim. You don't know how silly you look, I mean you haven't earned
a single one when you were an enlisted personnel, you can't even
match up to the regular joe on the street on any area, beyond the
mental and physical fitness attached to the badges. You don't have
a single thing to your name, that gives you any clout or place to
hold a candle to anyone who has a badge. I doubt you have anything
beyond super simple N or O levels, because you don't have requisite
capabilities (IQ) to obtain even N or O levels, from the things you
say. No wonder there are at least three people who called you dumb
in this topic, including one thinly veiled sarcastic one from
limywv on page 1.
And you're right. The SAF is a far cry from the US armed forces.
Although our top soldiers most certainly have valuable experience
training with the US army, they regularly top the US military
courses too, and are commended by top US generals when the meet in
military congresses. I personally know a few of such SAF
officers.
YET SAF will never be comparable as a whole force with the US
military, because of our size and budget limitations, our almost
non-existent diplomatic and political standing, but most
importantly because the bulk of people making up the SAF is crap.
And guess what, if you sign on, you'd be one of
them!
Lots like you should be kowtowing in gratitude to people like
COA for holding up the whole fabric together, the very thing that
you and people of your ilk (stupidity level) bring down, and
thanking them for seeing the higher purpose in doing so. Without
them, not merely the SAF but the whole country would have long
unravelled. How is this so? Easy. If your stupidity is reflective
of the bulk of Singaporeans which I suspect it is, woe WOULD HAVE
long betide us, IF NOT FOR THEM.
Anyway, a person of your calibre compare with US for what? As if
you will ever have a chance to be a part of the US in any way, form
or shape...*rolls eyes.. People of top calibre I know in the SAF
get offers from the United States left right and centre, be it top
uni places after A levels, top scholarships, PhD offer from top
unis after they graduate, top jobs in consulting and banking, top
$$$$, recognition from US generals.
You leh? Nothing.
