Some observations:
The original topic raised was about how some people "would not
kill" for their country. These people no longer seem to be talking
about how they would not kill, they are talking about how they
would not die for their country.
Ironic isn't it? The people who don't want to take life are the
same people who don't intend to even be around to give their lives
in the first place.
For those who are convinced that Singapore is worth fighting for,
their reasons revolve around bonds of kinship with family and
friends as well as loyalty to the land. Other reasons seem to be
investments (of financial or emotional nature) in Singapore.
For those who are NOT convinced, their reasons revolve around
self-preservation & to some extent the fact that their families
would have fled. These people say they need to carry on the family
name, assets can be transferred overseas, regimes & nations are
no different etc...
