Re: Dead NS boy family ask for forensic report, MINDEF tell them to fuck off, cover u
2. It has NOT been proven that a NS Conscription mode of DEFENCE is a STRONG DEFENSE system in the first place as opposed to a 100% professional army. Just because LKY said so? The circumstances in the 1960s where it was mooted may not be relevant today or it could even be outmoded just like the supremacy of the Battleship vs Aircraft carriers!
3. If a professional soldier dies in a training accident then you can say that his death is part and parcel of his career choice and life.
4. But then again it is not really the PAP or MINDEF's fault for so many deaths in SAF because the great majority of SINKIE PARENTS support NS conscription, and when their sons die in training accidents, they should really just shut the F*** UP!
1. Of course there will always be DEATHS in 'realistic' training scenarios BUT NS conscription FORCES one into such an environment where one is exposed against ONE's choice. None of the NSFs would want to serve in military service if given a choice.Deaths are part and parcel of life. You don't just discard an entity just because of accidents.
Road accidents cause far more deaths than national service but we don't clamor for the closing of the road network because the transport network is an essential part of today's civilized world.
NS deaths are the same. In order for training to be realistic boundaries need to be pushed to make training beneficial. Otherwise it is just a waste of time. The benefits of a strong defense system far outweigh a few sacrifices that have to be made.
