LOL at the above post...
Please remember that it's the SAF core values...so please take
it into the context of a organisation filled with fighting men and
women.
Loyalty to Country-Yah, when i fuck one of ours, it IS loyalty
to country. Cus if i don't fuck him and he doesn't learn, that
fella will one day be a liability to myself, my unit and possibly
my country. If you can't tahan a few swear words, God help you IF
you're captured and tortured. We'll see how loyal you become
then.
Leadership-You mentioned a civilised, clean and proper image.
Forgive me but i've yet to see my commanders wearing torn and
tattered uniforms, unshaved and shoving food into their mouths with
their hands in the canteen. Commanders lead by example, by way of
inspiring their men to run faster, jump higher and fight
harder. If you can't, never mind. Can train. It's those that can't
be bothered, that deserves a good phucking.
Discipline-You don't follow the rules, you get a warning. The
next time you don't follow, you get a screwing. Nuff said.
Professionalism-It's in the commander's professional interests
to train up good soldiers. But if the soldier is not professional
enough to give a phuck, he WILL get phucked. Same as how your
teachers teach you in school. They teach, but you don't learn, it's
YOU who fail the exams.
Fighting Spirit-I always preferred hearing "NBCB, don't let the
phuckers chabut!" as opposed to something like "tally ho men, let's
not let them run away now shall we? pip pip!"
Ethics-If you have no qualms with your friends using vulgarities
on a daily basis but your eyes start twitching when a superior
screws you, you not only have ethical double standards but a
disdain of authority figures in general as well. Seek professional
help.
Care for Soldiers-This means not going soft on you. Oh hell
no.
