No, pain is not the justified reason. There are usually many more
reasons.
Anyway, if I have a choice, I would rather go through NS.
Why? NS only 2.5yrs than after that is reservist now and then.
Looking after a baby till he/she can look after himself is at least
20 yrs in a stretch! Ok la, maybe you say teenager not counted liao
but also at least 12 yrs, and definately more siong than
reservist.
