To some (no names mentioned), reading Singapore's ORBAT and
specification sheet allows them to fantasize in the fashion of
Command and Conquer or other strategy games.
That fantasy stems from never having dug his own trench, never
charged up a hill to take an objective, never done night prowling,
eaten alive by mosquitoes.
No, its sitting in the easy chair in front of the computer,
click-dragging whole battalions of tanks, infantry, and sending
them against the enemy. When the unit is annihilated, never mind,
the barracks has about 5 other units in training or in
production.
That gap between fantasy and reality, well, really requires some
time in the green uniform, before it will be closed up.
