No, still waiting for Mindef to finally enlist me. Those
bastards like don't want me liddat. I call them up 5-6 times liao,
went down cmpb 4 times... tell them to enlist me faster... they
still take their own sweet time. Those people at enlistment office,
are they working or not? *@! *(@!
Anycase, that was a very impressive "show of force," to the
Malaysian government. If they still don't get the message, next
thing we'll do is have a massive air, land n sea exercise to really
print out "WE MEAN BUSINESS" to them. Unfortunately, we may not
have enough space for that. We'll probably start flying and
shipping our overseas based equipment and personnel back to
Singapore, just to strengthen our defensive deterrence posture. I
believe this open mobilisation was planned after the infamous
statement, "If Singapore does not wish to compromise, then go to
war." Instead of replying to them directly like, "we are ready to
go to war..." and causing possible public uproar, and regional
panic for no reason other than the childish antic of one neighbour.
The government wisely chose this solution to indirectly reply, "we
are ready for it, anytime you want..." Looks like, the military is
really a tool of the state after all.
Oh ya, Armor infantry don't always get to ride around in the bionix
or any other IFV. More than often, they run behind it or alongside
it. Lucky? No... hot exhaust from a fighting vehicle can be
annoying.
