We need to have a strong SAF if not we may end up as POWs

jasonlai73 SG

I read lately a book from Ang Mo Kio Library and I strongly encourage you to borrow it := (i am still reading but should be finishing it in another 3 days or even sooner), entitled: 'Annihilation Zones' by stephen Barber. (located at shelf 950.4)

It came in 3 parts :
1) on Japanese WW2 atrocities about 80 pages
2) Siberia concentration camps at Magadan (Siberia) under Stalin's rule, about 30 pages
3) Pol Pot's atrocities in Cambolia, about 80 pages

I am amazed by the sheer atrocities by the Japanese and you really have to read for yourself! including unit 731 human experimentation at Manchuria.

And these made me pose the question, if we are been caught as POWs, we might not only be shoot and died. But instead of suffere tremendous flesh torment and pain! So we really need to have a strong SAF.

If you have any good books on this let me know.

red_amoeba SG

say, suddenly you populate this forum with so many topics - you sign on in army one? Or SAF recruited you as their spokesman?

kengkia SG

crimson soldier SG

stop NS.

hire more regulars.

spend the money used on NSFs to buy better equipment.

kengkia SG

our omnipotent MM Lee keep emphasizing on being prepared..maybe he got one nuke sitting ubderground or he can summon fireballs to destry the enemy states game over...or he can use summoning magic to get the ang moh fighters to defend sg , dun worry Laughing

Fatum SG

NS is cheap labour, we get less than what a bangla gets, won't be much savings there ... Laughing

it's the brass that gets the big bucks ...

soulwinner SG

Good.. Then u sign up to be a general.. Very Happy

crimson soldier SG

no leh. One meal costs SAF 5 bucks. BFAST, lunch, dinner, NSNACk-> 20 dollars per day per man. Plus equipment costs like sbo, field pack, beds, cupboards all cost $$.

terrible waste considering the levels of dust covering my sbo and field pack.

plus NSFs use water and electricity so irresponsibiliy.

Fatum SG

then you cut down on wastage, not cut down on the costs ....

the official wastage for an average SAF cook house stands at approx 3 to 5% ... but that's just fudging paper work ...

the SAF generates enough wasted food a day to feed some third world shit hole for a week ! ... Mad

and if you can save on little things like wine and canapes for the brass after some major ex in pasir labar, then perhaps soldiers can have more blanks to fire with during exercises, instead of having to use the universal round and go farking "bang bang bang ! " ... Mad ...

sorry ... I'm just ranting here ....

borntolive SG

before u or anyone reading this plan to sign on, pls read prev threads on ppl who already sign on n their reactions n thoughts Laughing

sign on only if u are a pilot or is able n confident to be a officer

Cro-Magnon SG

Mixed feelings leh...

NS training will (more or less) ensures that you are able to at least fight back when the needs arise. Basic solder skills lar.

But I loathe to think of the thousands and thousands who will die when the fronts clashed. Grinding conflicts between Conscripts and a Regular army tends to be skewed...

One question: Would you rather go down fighting than being taken POW?

TWE SG

Won’t bother to fight for own country , cos i don’t see any worth in doing that for a country that doesn’t take care of its own pple . Taken pow ? i rather kill myself . Our army no matter what the ranks is only knows theory with zero actual war exp . Wait till an actual war breaks out and you will see my point .

Arapahoe SG

FYI USA is not an allies. it is only friend....friend.

crabx SG

i think i will gin-gin chabut to other country if got war... Laughing

gaoxingdcf SG

allentyb,dun smoke us leh... USA is Upper Serangoon Ave rite??? not United States of America hor ??

SpecOps87 SG

Yah...the food wastage is really terrible man. Indent so much, but how many people will actually finish them all? Have seen the food wastage go into like 3/4 trash bag fulls per meal. Imagine that...pains me man.

And haha, the universal rounds part...haha, sibei funny. But wonder why is it that unlike other countries' military, we don't use simunitions? Or perhaps only SOF, SWG use them? Even 3SIR is using paintball markers. Doesn't really reflect the firing of the actual weapon well with the range and all.

We SAF people will be safe. Big brother's marines will not be if he goes to fight North Korea and Iran.

chanjyj SG

USA has a non-binding alliance with SG. It may become a binding alliance in the future. (Though I doubt so)
