So Dawn "plastic surgery" Ng has been discussing NS for the
fairer sex. I couldnt be bothered reading what Barbie wrote, but I
do have my views about it.
And my view is this.
NS should be compulsory for females as well as males. They should
be limited to non combatant roles, and should serve the same length
of time as the males.
Why?
1. It solves the Govt's concern about declining population and lack
of people for the Armed Forces. All the males who currently serve
in clerical positions can be shifted to ones where they shoot and
kick ass instead. The number of soldiers will instantly
double.
2. It also solves declining birthrates too. More guys and girls
will meet and mingle and more couples will form. Hubba hubba
3. Singaporean women are quite confidant and educated. They believe
they are equal or better than men and have no qualms saying so. Let
them prove it.
I have no doubt many people will be against this, including:
1. Parents. Armed forces is guy's stuff, not for dainty little
delicate ladies, right?
2. The girls. Despite all the bravado and talk of equality, the
girl's I've discussed this with are actually quite scared of the
thought of actually having to do it. They're quite happy getting on
with life, be it work or study, and macking with guys a couple of
years older than themselves.
3. The guys. Many guys who take the easy way out pretending to be
big military men, but who are really pen pushers, will protest if
they have to get off their butts and train like everyone
else.
What does anyone else think?
Are there any chicks here who actually have the guts to propose NS
for girls?
