Anxious Malaysian teens jam NS hotlines

Viper52 SG

Delta didn't screw Operation Eagle Claw up, the mission was too ambitious for the technology and capabilities that time, plus the presence of the sandastorms which resulted in mechanical failures of some of the RH-53Ds and the catastrophic crash at Desert One (or Two?) between the RH-53 and C-130 all conspired to make the mission impossible to follow through

"Singaporeans don't complain. Don't tell me Malaysians are such softies to be complaining"

The FFL up till 1970 was considered scum by the French military and sent to do all the jobs nobody wanted.
All in all they were destroyed and reformed more times then i bother to remember.However that was because they drew the shit jobs and because of overall french military high command screwing up.After all the FFL doesnt number more then 20,000 and cannot fight on their own without support in a big war like indo china.Besides like i said it was the french high command that screwed up indo china.After all, 1 leigoniere dead is 1 french life spared.

1 chopper crashed....and 2 burnt while refueling i think and waiting for the go code.They did not have enought choppers or equpiment to carry on the mission so it was aborted.i will have to check my book's on that.

OH!!!!!!!! ok, guess i din read properly, still, hai ya, the FFL’s can never really be a real solid special forces like SEALs or SAS right?

|-|05| SG

That's because they arent special forces they are rapid deployment forces and crack troops.They were never meant to be special forces.The french have their own spec ops.

NathanG5 SG

btw..SEALs n SAS are not that solid anyway..
Sayerat Matkal are much better..

Fairyland SG

What's all that (special forces) compared to the suicide bombers you find in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Bali?!!!

No training required. No special equipment. Best in the world.

That's only minority. In Malaysia's case, given the chaos they're having, they should really consider it!

Alternatively, they can go by birthdates...

Eg; those born Jan - Feb 1984...etc.

See, even an average folk like me have better brains than Malaysia authorities. Laughing

Confused good morning to you, newbie! i cannot help, but find your predatory war-loving nature somewhat disturbing. but perhaps, pompous locals like you are the reason those Malaysians decided to implement NS. learn some humility and respect.

fugue SG

Ok, the urge to fight aside, we still have to be prepared. See, no one wants a war, but that doesn't mean that you can let your hair down!!

boy in blues SG

Mr. Green Exactly! NS is for deterence and perhaps retaliation. but the kind of image Johnston is giving to the international community is disgraceful to our nation.

|-|05| SG

Their NS is not like our's heck i personally believe it will not include much weapons train!

boy in blues SG

okeey .....
