The insignificant nobody me is glad that those armchair generals here who denigrated our proven for decades heroic Commandos are not the actual Commanding Officers of them, or else there will be NO Commandos left in Spore.
The primary mission of any Spore Commanding Officer is to ensure their troops stay alive, make the enemy die for their country than ours. We are a small nation, & EACH soldier is precious. We fight to live another day to fight again, smartly, with whatever tech & knowledge we have to achieve our aims & survival of our People. The Spore Commandos will sacrifice their lives, for their loved ones, & know that they alone, in the far & often beyond front lines, will not be able to save all, even their own loved ones, but only thru COMBINED military forces TOGETHER will each be able to save loved ones. Such is their guiding spirit & the will to face the horrendous training they undergo each day of their service & what which is far worse may or hopefully not come, but will be ready each generation.
Even the much feared CIA black operations team, whom conduct missions in peace time, will NOT parachute when there are storms, as a mere lightning strike will render one numb & unconscious, the pelting rain hard hitting & will only render one's vision blind to the target drop zone, learnt from history when the commanders of operation Market Garden in 1945 invasion of Germany took pains to ensure only in clear weather or at the least a few hrs of clear weather to carry out their massive parachute operations, to ensure their soldiers survivability.
It is such trust in each other - operators & officers right up to Ministry of Defense, that make our Commandos willing to go to hell & back - take care of us, & we will take care of you & your responsibilities, for the survival of our People & Nation.
Some may be disappointed that the event for showcase NDP in Ghim Moh did not happened. Rest assured - each life is precious & means something special to another. Any sacrifice made must be critical & of significance that will resolve issues. If they wish to watch free fall parachuting by our Commandos, there are videos available & can catch them while they train within Spore which is several times a year.
