Utterly Useless Army

I really don't know what's happening to me nowadays...
Just becoming so brash, temperamental... "angsty"...

... a word which I would never have used to describe myself just a few months back...

=/

I'm like snapping at everybody I know... being down, angry and moody if things don't go my way....

My usage of vulgarities seem to have risen by leaps and bounds also...

All thanks to NS.

I've always wanted to have someone who is an NS freak come and challenge me why I think that NS is useless, then trash him on the backside - upside down with basic, logical, rational thinking.

now... why do I think that NS is useless?

1) I think that its just a way the government wants us to repay our "debt" to the country. Like, "Thanks for accepting our gift of education all the way till polytechnic, now likewise, please repay us by wasting 2 years of your life in the army".

2) It is a waste of human work-days. For an economist, this is a dreadful waste of human resources. Especially with the rapid decline in population and the need to hire more foreign talent. Why foreign talent?
Because they can get their degree at 22 years old, while the average Singaporean male gets theirs at 25+. A lack of experience, coupled with overly-regimented training causes Singaporean males to be highly undesirable in a creative, flexible work environment.

3) It is NOT a defense, as much as it is a deterrence. Oh please, you expect Malaysia's army, Indonesia's army and Philippines army to be stronger then Singapore's? JEEZ. wake up man.
The moment Malaysia attacks Singapore, Indonesia will demand their share as well. Then there'll be endless wars for the "conquering" of Singapore.
Deter? Hell yeah. The army advertisements are so "frightening" that their enemies might as well piss in their pants and die.

gosh? You really think so?

Like what China said to their enemy, "Don't bother trying to defend against our (nationalist) army. The people in our land only needs to piss in the rivers and your entire nation will be drowned in piss."

The only deterrence we have is that the US, Australia, China, India and Europe have GOOD diplomatic/economic relation with us.

Oh, and I'm sick of people telling me, "We cannot trust foreigners, see what the British did in World War 2? They left us alone to fend for ourselves! We are the only ones who can defend our country!"
... seriously, are you xenophobic or something?
Don't forget that the British were fighting WWII as well! Its a WORLD WAR. And if you think that Singapore can stand against THE country who is conquering like half the world, like hell you should reconsider your options.
The most you can do is "resist" a bit before they come crashing down on you and tear your citizens to shreds.

If its a localize war, the US would be pretty much more then happy to lend us their planes to show off to the world their aerial, naval and whatever combat skills like how they have been doing so the past decades.
China would want a part in the entire "protection" thingy too, afterall, having the Malaysian sultanate ruling Singapore has never been good for their economic relations!

4) The Army is WASTE of tax payer's money.
COMPLETE waste. Especially on the food part. Seriously, I think I know why the army refuses to let people bring in their camera phones - they don't want evidence of how sucky the food is to be released to the publications (like STomp). .
of course i'm kidding.
but seriously, SFI charges $5.30 to the SAF for a meal that consists. Read.

- greenish scrambled eggs (wtf?) quantity amounting to half a soup spoonful
- ONE fish nugget.
YOUR BREAKFAST.
TA-DAH!!

KNNBCCB. I think I pay 50 cents downstairs my house and they give me that I'll most likely give the waiter a tight slap across the face lah, not to mention $5.30.

Food aside, the SAF pays a meagre $400 to thousands of army personnels throughout the island, barely enough to pay for 1 breakfast, 1 dinner and transport allowance (for those who are must book out everyday.)
$400? With $100 on transport? $300 left?
Don't make me puke lah.

...

Actually I'm quite sick and tired of commenting on the army.
It seems that my angst and dissent seem to arise from all from the army nowadays.

and I'm not the only who resents this utter waste of time and money. and of course, our youth.

Whoever says that the greatest way to serve your country is to lay down your life for it is the stupidest fool.
Now get THIS straight.
THE GREATEST WAY TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY IS TO MAKE OTHER COUNTRIES LAY DOWN THEIR LIFE FOR YOURS.

You think that's impossible?
Look at the North-South Korean war.
Look at Iraq and Iran.
Look at Japan.
Look at Taiwan.
Look at TIBET. (particularly effective example)

Seriously, the war of the worlds is not in the hands of small "Jiao Sai" like us. Its in ICBMs and Nuclear power harbored in the nations of the 6-super powers.


CRAP!!!!


stupid propoganda.
STUPID STUPID propoganda.

as though you could ever convince any rational thinking individual to actually believe your crap.

dumb.

I'm going out.

I'm going to try my best to spend what's left of my weekend. BECAUSE THE SAF EATS UP MY LIFE.
I'M FORCED to serve - when I could have serve my country in better, more effective ways.
I'M FORCED to do things I don't want to do - when I could have serve my country in better, more enjoyable ways.
I'M FORCED to conform to regimentation - when there wasn't even a need for it in the first place.

War?
What war?

Piss off.
Don't come and tell me that there is impending war.

If there is, we're all doomed already.
If there isn't, it proves my point that Singapore is paranoid to the point of inefficiency.



I dare you challenge my opinions.


and oh. If there are any of you SAF dogs looking at my blog to shut it down, please. go ahead.

you've taken my life.
you've taken my time.
you've taken my money.

and of course, it'll be utterly unreasonable to shut it down unless you're scared to come forward and challenge the thinking of the vast, voiceless majority.
