With our small population, it’s not visible to have a
regular standing force. US have a total population of 303,824,640
and yet despite the large population, only a total of 1,385,122 are
in active military service. That’s like every 220 people, only 1 is
in military service.
If you presume Singapore are as hardcore as American
towards military service. We will have a regular force of only
20,454. That’s a WTF number le. Sure kenna pwned by our stronger
and larger neighbors.
Numbers aside, if we don’t not defend this small patch
of green earth we call home, who will do it? I can’t imagine WW2
happening all over again. Our men all suffer and die without
reasons, our woman shamed and humiliated. History tells us the
victors decide the fate of the conquered. We should never be at the
mercy of others to decide our life.
My brother told me don’t think about protecting the
country, but instead think about your parents, girlfriend, this
girl you have a crush on in school, your friends. Our
girlfriend/wife kenna stare at outside by other people, we inside a
bit not happy already. Far worse will happen to them if we did get
invaded and conquered.
Even thou we might not win, at least we didn't give up
without a fight. I believe we all just want a place for our love
ones to grow old peacefully. And if that means me going through 2
years of suffering and shit work and constant whatever, totally
fine with me. People say SAF very wayang. Well that is true i
guess. But if the wayanging show others we are not to be fu*ked
with, i say go ahead and wayang all they want.
I haven do my NS yet, few more months before going in.
My views are of my own opinion. =D
