What if Clinton666 is right about our ex-Generals?

From foxhole to corner office

Coping with risks and making decisions quickly under pressure are useful skills for entrepreneurs, which is perhaps why the Israeli army sires so many high-tech start-ups. And the army trains good managers, too. An officer must never issue an order that will not be obeyed, so he must learn to gauge the mood of his men. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq wind down, more veterans will be looking for second careers. Some have fought for longer than the generation that defeated Hitler. Many have international experience. Oil and mining firms that operate in the rough parts of Africa and the Middle East are eager to hire them. So are firms in other industries. Amazon brags about its military-friendliness. Walmart vowed last month to hire any veteran who applied for a job within a year of being honourably discharged. Companies that complain that they cannot find people with the right mixture of drive and experience have only themselves to blame if they miss this arsenal of talent.

Sinkapore's officers believe in absolute obedience by the underlings. They don't see that respect is earned not demanded. You can bet that many of our military officers will be killed by their underlings during war.

Our paper generals are reared and given silver spoons. The economist magazine recognizes that these paper generals are just book smart and everything else dumb.
 
Agree. Our paper generals have not experienced the realism of wars or prolonged wars. Their efficacy is in doubt. What they are good at are war games and planning. Even with planning, if you have never encountered the real situation, most of your directives are all based on simulated scenarios. How effective can it be ?
 
Whatever secrets our generals possess of military assets is not consequential.
 
What did Clit666 say about the ex-generals?
He wants to lick their sweaty perineums?
 
Kee Chiu seems to know a lot leh

They may know alot. But the generals generally are really cho boh lan.

Never even fought a real war in other parts of this world can become general. Really cho si lan.
