why are you so against the US war?
i'm not a US citizen yet but I support the American war in
Afghan and Iraq. Do you know what kind of lives the Iraqis lived
before the US went there?? They were living under the dictatorship
of Saddam Hussein, denied basic amenities like food, drinkable
water, basic medical care and human rights. Many were tortured and
killed by him during interrogations of suspected
insurgencies. His favourite methods are many, including
plucking out the fingernails of the people with pliers and
implementing electric shocks onto his victims' genitals. He also
had a penchant for raping women civilians. Pls go read up about the
world before you croak so much like a self righteous toad.
The goals of the US war include overturning the Hussein's regime
and setting up a democratic government for Iraq, in which members
are wholly elected by the people of Iraq. Same goes for Afghan.
Hussein was eventually arrested by US troops in the invasion and
charged, trialed and executed by the Iraqi Special Tribunal, and not the US
government.
SAF has always sent its soldiers on overseas missions, but they
only send the regulars so that the precious NSF boys won't risk
their lives in dangerous places so don't worry. BG Tan Chuan Jin
went to Aceh and COA Neo Kian Hong was deployed to East Timor.
Our top soldiers are also sent to US army training in the
various Forts (their army bases are called Fort something) in the
US during the start of their career (pre LTC). their first one
occur as soon as during university vacation attachment and after
they graduate from university, they go for a longer one that is a
full officer's course. Its first to Harvard, then to Fort
Benning.
Their CSC (command and staff college) is done in actually
professional military institutes like Sandhurst, rather than
half-bake SAFTI where the farmers go so please don't go crapping
again that our scholar-officers are soft, only good bureacrats or
paper generals. They just happen to be everything you lot are
not.
Looks like you don't know much about foreign politics.
