Scholar vs. Warrior

SpecOps87 SG

Hi all,just a survey to know the general sentiments of you guys.

Ok as we all know,there are two types of officers in the SAF,officers who are warriors and officers who are scholars.Ok,the million dollar question is,who would you rather serve for in times of war?And also please quote your reason.

Thanks... Very Happy

runningismylife SG

whoever it is, we still have to serve under him.

it's no use rebelling against anyone in particular during times of crises. just not worth it.

sgFish SG

well..i'd fight for a scholarly warrior.

there is no definite scholar or warrior. each officer is usually a mix of both. one who has both these traits is of course, desirable.

martin_lim85 SG

what ever it is if theres a war i pes E admin still will go help in watever way i can

Obersturmfuhrer SG

The question is irrelevant. I’m willing to serve under any competent commander I’m assigned to.

esesce SG

I would prefer to be under whoever has the most operational experience.

SibeiSuayKia SG

i'll serve under a warrior who kills mercilessly , but uses his brain as well

no point having Conan or hercules only to charge into a

SWAT team of 12 carrying mp-5 pointing at you

Of course must be smart also lar..

I wouldn't wanna serve with a commander who doesn't use his brain,
i'll rather launch a coup and seize power and lead the army myself

For example , no one would use 1 PV and charge at 2 huge battleships

UandMe SG

warriors??

Obersturmfuhrer SG

The person you're describing sounds very much like Osama.

TVaddict SG

whoever has the correct attitude and abilities…

SibeiSuayKia SG

Mr German man..

NS and SAF IS MEANT TO BE MERCILESS.

If NS AND SAF is meant to be sissy and [email protected] ,
i would have escaped singapore long ago!

ITs either mercy or merciless , think the enemy give a damn about you?

Im a peace person

Guess imagine, if we were to think of the enemy 's families and children while we are fighting, we also must balance our families and children..

War is indeed cruel and merciless.

Likewise the on-going terrorism war,
I don't see a wrong with a military/political coup,
Even in nature or what,
Its naturaL

HEY , bro i surely hope im not serving under your unit in NS,
cause u most likely will be preaching love and peace
like 7th day adventist, if im in your unit,
i will surely get mental problem,
CO ask me to fight enemy, Seargent ask me to pray and stop violence.

On the flip side, seventh day adventist may not be wrong,
SAF may not be right as well in it's purchasing and arming up policies..
our neighbours are so afraid of us..LOL..even najib was forced to recognise the strength of our armed forces in SEA.

Who is right , who is wrong?

Depends on situation.

If SAF go starts a war and try to take territory on peacetime, who is right?

Seventh-Day Adventist is right!

If Seventh-Day Adventist protests against the usage of troops
when enemy forces is preparing to invade singapore and murder civilians..
who is right or if Seventh-Day Adventist goes against the policy of us defending ourselves..who is right?

SAF is right!

Ultimately, world peace..forever

iF only u all could sing..heal the world make it a better place by michael jackson..

Just like the futile hope of asking China,USA and the rest of UN to dis-arm..
discard all the planes and weapons..shake hands worldpeace..no icbms..

I ALSO WISH THE ABOVE STUFF WILL HAPPEN!

Osama is different , he don't go out and charge the SWAT,
he gets his pawns to charge the swat.

And those kana torture and kana arrested,
all his pawns..

His bishop,queen,rook,knight all on standby..its only the beginning..

USA is the opponent on this chess match, but that doesn't mean u got 12 queens or 20 queens u can play..

and sadly, this chess match involves alot of people and lives as well.

storywolf SG

Good let us pray that your trainers in the ary will be merciless to you in your army training and takan you till you see star and moon !

chunyong SG

well, nothing but/and everything is right in a war….those who know will understand what i mean.

SibeiSuayKia SG

No problem, in NS and army we're going to be takan .

More or less, only prepares me for torture if im ever captured.
touch wood.

i rather shoot myself rather then to be captured and reveal my country's classified info

Enlisting into NS SOON!

if SAF and NS is meant to be kind and good,
then i tell u..the bunks would have sanyo aircon
and osim chair..

Why bother wearing soldier uniforms as well?
mights well wear a pink-t-shirt and wave a white color or gay-rights flag?

I wanna rise high in rank into the army,
and i will wanna do it one day!

See star and moon?
Yes.

If SAF comes under my leadership in future, i will rent thier rockets
and launch spy satellites(no kidding)
and see stars and moon.

It's either we die or the enemy die,
if we die, we lose our family and friends and assets..isn't it even worser?

just think..if we had just the mercy while we were pulling the trigger,
you think the enemy will have that similar kind of mercy?
Think again!

For me, if enemy will to drop his arm,me too im willing, but is he willing in the first place?

Lets say if we DO HAVE a SAF when jap army invading SG , Jap army is very merciless and beheads people and if we got SAF which has mercy..
don't shoot enemy..who will have a higher casualty?

I know some people might not be suayed towards my opinion or what..

But if we had a merciless SAF who had fought for the correct cause of defending the country, i would support it. Thumbs up!

Enlisting into NS SOON!

wuming78 SG

somehow i have a feeling you are not doing a survey but looking for affirmation...

anyway your question has made the two genres of officers mutually exclusive which is not the case.

and im gladdened by the many responses here that have went pass all these labels and went for the crux - the competency of the commander, regardless of his background.

when the button is pressed, everyone dons the uniform. who is going to be concerned about where you have come from?

Obersturmfuhrer SG

I don't see any germans in this forum. Are you really that retarded to assume that from a username? And I can't be bothered with your long essays on what you think should be and all those crap. The modern army has something called Rules of Engagement. Try and get a least something else into that 2-dimension warfare you envision, we are humans, not machines.

As for joining my unit? Dun flatter yourself coz you dun have what it takes. In fact, the same applies to you for all combat units.

sgFish SG

i just hope you don't rise high up in the ranks.

i shudder to think wad would happen Neutral

Obersturmfuhrer SG

Dun have to wonder, first Singaporean ever to be hauled up to the ICJ for war crimes against humanity.

SibeiSuayKia SG

Think a german who has a background *coughs*
has a more likelihood then a peaceful singaporean
who uses 2 prong of deterrence and diplomacy
