idwar is like a malaysian version of lionnoisy. only that he/she
has much better written english and a good grasp of phrasing.
not to encourage a nationalist flame war here but, having
trained with malaysian infantry and seen them first hand. for the
record, the malaysian RRR 1st batallion. i wouldnt be chest
thumping all that here. most of them are ordinary blokes just like
our conscripts. and surprise surprise ! their pay is about
equivalent too. we have marked differences in the way we operate
but if you strip away all the training, gear , tactics,education
,identity and nationality, we arent really all that different.
Just to gently remind you armchair generals something, you may
have a bigger tank , a faster jet or a more capable boat. but at
the end of the day, the human being operating that isnt really much
different on either side of the causeway. we have more in common
ground then in difference.
to engage in a flame war about singapore and malaysia is about as
productive as comparing the taste of chalk and cheese (not that i
want to try that in in any given case)
idwar, no offence here intended , but before u talk about how
the MAF is ready and raring to jump into action with pirates off
the coast of somalia, do remember the asian tsunami relief
response. singapore does not lack the capability to project or flex
its military muscles. It merely lacks the motive to act.
do not confuse lack of motive with a lack of power or the will
to exercise it. very dangerous misconception to have.
im beginning to see more and more similarities btw idwar and
lionnoisy, especially in this forum
