Are you willing to defend S'pore?

How do we resolve an issue connected to mindset, through scenario planning. Are the two cases cited of soldiers acting beyond the call of
duty the norm within the SAF, or exceptions?

[Frogmen]

That is only an inspiration & propaganda. But for sure i wouldnt. I want to live another day to see the world.

aiya... if singapore goes to war, enemy kills some ppl, ppl will fight to defend, simple as that... unless in a case like Kuwait, sudden attack, how to defend? if that's the case, we have to wait for ppl to save us loh...

[Oceanklassik]

For the sake of my family and friends like all of you, I will..

thanks singapore for the

- high hdb prices(they call it cheap when its almost half a million for certain apartments)
- high GST
- no entry admissions for local kids into primary school & tough admissions for locals in local unis
- increasing cost of living
- increasing costs of transport
- increasing costs of utilities
- welcoming of more FTs

of course i'll fight for singapore, especially for such a good country

[Nooch]

I think overall e ppl have to be appreciative of NS men's efforts, since previously someone (auntie) commented tat NS men smelly on e train.

An "outcast" Singaporean like me, would NEVER ever die for a country which doesn't put its citizen on the first priority.

the invading 'forces' don't and will not care if you are an outcast or not of your own country.

get out while you still can then, otherwise please say the same when your friends and family are casualties of a conflict.

after having served 2yrs 4 mths in a combat unit and then another 10 cycles in a reservist combat unit...the question is not whether we are willing to fight but do we hv what it takes to fight a war?

lousy equipment like rotten weapons with rusted & corroded barrels,recycled field equipment. the list is endless!

gotta correct you.

me and my slave family, are under an elite family in the house.

there are 2 families in the house, 1 elite and 1 slave.

the elite family eats, drinks and dines on elite food. they have a big car.

my family, slaves for them the whole day, and me & my son is in charge of guarding the elite family. we get illtreated and we're 3rd class people.

the elite family makes life difficult for us, everything we own is theirs.

one day, robbers come.

what will you do? as simple as that.

1) bring your slave family and flee from elite family's house.
2) guard the elite family's house and might survive, and slave family continually get ill-treated.
3) guard the elite family house and die, lagi worse.

which would you pick?
