Unfortunately, u have failed to realise that when u say u will
fight for ur family and love ones, u are fighting in the name of
your country. Because that's where ur family and loved ones are at,
and they have more love for the country than u do.
Look at it this way, in other countries like Taiwan, there's also
conscription into the army. I think they serve longer than us, yet
the taiwanese I came into contact to never felt it was a waste of
time. They know it is essential.
As for the FT thingy, it is up to the individual to step up their
efforts a gear, and prove to their bosses that they are just as
good, if not better than these so-called FTs. If you just sit there
and complain about the perceived lack of help from the government,
then there's really no one who can help u.
