Do you think a better word would be "over-confident"?
But I know a lot of SAF men like to talk big especially in forums
like these. But are the policy makers, the leaders of SAF also
"complacent" or "over-confident"?
Actually, I think this may not be the case. so far they have
demonstrated that they are the most kiasu in the world when it
comes to National Defence. On paper at least, Singapore must be the
most heavily defended place on earth. We have an airforce that way
out of proportion to our land mass and population, for
example.

Tactic sense goes out of the window. (A country experienced such

the Mission they set out to do.)
Which country is this you are talking about?
I do feel that we rely too much on technology and equipment but at
the same time, I feel there is no other solution as there are no
wars to tune the tactics and minds of the SAF. Excercises are
after, all, not real life.
