Unfortunately, the amount spent, you get half of what it should be. The cost of US hardware is too expensive. Ukraine war is a good example.Nothing beats the USA military supply chain and logistics
Its an art with 100 years of experience; even the Brits with a thousand years of experience cannot matchNothing beats the USA military supply chain and logistics
Lky knew that. That's why she is using NS as brainwashing and social control.
Even better some in SAF are gungho thinking when there is war they will fight and prevail. My toes laugh!!
Majority Of army recruits will be from native tribes and PAP does not want that. So very good incentives are given to retain non bumi " talents" in SAF.1. Going to NS teaches, our men how to lie, geng and nua.
2. Our regular soldiers have it easy because the conscripts are always below them. If there is meritocracy and no conscripts, many regulars will still be corporals and sergeants after a decade.
3. We need to build an effective, committed and lean fighting professional force that can win real battles. Unfortunately, only 10-20% of our regular soldiers have that passion and qualities to fit into that category. Worst of all, many of them are led by many scholar officers whose career-vision is to enter some GLCs or stat boards to be DD or D.
If I may quote from Alexandra the Great (below), Singapore badly needs to restructure and transform our military asap,
Singapore's military is an army of sheeps led by a sheep.
Believe me, army filled with jlb ish more fearsome1. Going to NS teaches, our men how to lie, geng and nua.

Does the Ruling Elites agree with your hypothesis?Singapore and ASEAN biggest threat is not Muslim, Malaysia or Indonesia. Our common enemy is Chinese communist terrorists.
I am worried for Singapore since our armies are staffed by Chinese and do they have the courage to kill their own race Chinese communist terrorists ?
S'porean Chinese have no affinity for PRCs. However, American Muslim soldiers have been reported to have refused to fire as well as turn their guns on their own comrades rather than fight their fellow Muslims in the Middle East.Singapore and ASEAN biggest threat is not Muslim, Malaysia or Indonesia.
