in my opinion, it is way over the top to spend this kind of money. seriously, how many of the ns men are trained? remember the case where our commando (supposed to be the best unit in sg) was shot by some farmer in thailand?
i shall post this question only to those who had served ns. these are the questions that we always fill in at the end of our reservist. 'are you confident of going into war?' and also ' are you confident of the commanders that lead you into war?'
