actually, we are not as bad as say, taiwan or south korea
....
NSmen would whine and complain and bitch about reservists and in
camp every year, but when it comes to the crunch, most of them
would do their duty ....
I have exercised with NS unkers as the opfor before .... it's an
amazing sight to see a pot-bellied unker charge full tilt at you,
screaming hokkien vulgarities, carrying a heavy general purpose
machine gun .....
the old school unkers in their 30s and 40s today, with their
wives and kids, their houses and properties ... they'll fight when
asked too ....
That's because the pot-bellied uncle knows that if they don't
protect the country, they are going to lose their loved ones etc.
They have a hell lot of things to lose. Family, friends, memories,
the blood and sweat they have put in to build what Singapore is
today.
Those apathic buggers don't feel a thing because they think they
have nothing to lose and why should they lay down their life for a
country who don't give them anything?
