Untrained doesn't mean the people can't pull a trigger or swing
a knife.
If the bandits are lesser in strength than the village is,
common sense is everyone beats them up. (Sticks and swear
scenario.)
If the bandits are larger in strength and can crush the village,
retaliation is possible but still the village will fall.
(Missiles.)
Fighting is not about pulling a trigger or swining a knife, it
has a lot more to do with HOW and WHEN you fight. Tactics and
movement on the field, as well as other skills matter a lot more
then simply shoot and they have to be organized and learned in the
military to become a truly effective fighting force. You have a
simplistic understanding of how things will happen.
You once again demostrate your lack of understanding of anything
military and war. Which is not surprising given you are more
interested in wanting to make your first 100k by whenever, nothing
wrong with that, but at least do your homework before you shoot
your mouth off.
In terms of military technology and mobilized capacity, the SAF
is capable of going toe-to-toe with any projected/potential threat
in the region. And of course our potential foes know it that's
why.
Unless you can come up with some bizzare situtation like China
or the US suddenly decides to annex us, the SAF serves a very REAL
need in security and stability in regional politics, and is needed
for the survival and viability of Singapore.
