Would you defend Singapore?

[oli9]

Defending a country is the obligation of every citizen, regardless of the country.

WHAT OBLIGATION ARE U TALKING ABOUT? Is the country obligated to reduce locals to tatters by importing foreigners (who dont serve NS), keep increasing essential costs while paying themselves millions & cheapen our value? WAKE UP!!!!!!
As for the poser above, i think you know my answer.

I'm wondering whats the point in auguing about whether son's of PRs or FT are willing to stay/defend the country in times of War. The majority of those so-called "true blue Singaporeans" in this and the previous incarnation of this forum have more then once express their wish to hop on the first boat/plane out of the country. If these the locals are not even willing to defend their own country, they loss the right to even criticize the foreigners on this subject. And no the stupid excuse about FT > Citizens doesnt cut it since 1, citizens still(as of this post) enjoys more rights then PRs

Foreigners, PRs & Foreign Talents are only here for the good times, otherwise they will not leave their own countries in the first place.

the reason citizens r quitting is not bcos they love their country any less. however, under such governance, and a wayang fiction based armed forces, taking arms & going to war with tactics that is thoroughly flawed even on paper is nothing but suicide. and the body count of fallen men in battle will materialize that terminolgy.

when a the countrymen of a nation fall like dead flies (regardles in peace or hostile times), its nothing short of calling it - genocide.

The question is not whether can we defend Singapore; its about whether Singapore is defensible enough for us to defend.

In short, if people do not care so much about the country and ain't passionate about defending it, no matter what we have bought, we would lose. After all the British had far superior numbers on the ground, fairly well-trained troops and had good food supply still. But they still lost once Japan crossed the straits- simply because morale was the main defeating point.

Money is not a substitute for patriotism; but if ordinary citizens do not get the respect that they deserve, and do not get appreciation for what they have done- in terms of praise, cash etc- then, there will be almost no patriotism. Instead everyone would be looking out for their own self-interests instead.

And that's the best gift an invading country will get.

Give me command of a division of soliders, with Tri Service fire support.

Dun see our own force so up....at least m&d land got soldiers who has seen real action in their home land fighting the communist...until the 90s.

 

[Neh_Neh_Pok]

we will fight a quick war, then reach a ceasefire, then let the diplomats reach a deal...

meanwhile there should be enough khong guan biscuits and SAF rations to keep us alive.

Ya, don't forget the pratas from isbanana too

 

[angry_one]

there’re plenty of other non-profit charity/ social organizations available, and in dire need of volunteers to do the render assistance/ services to those who need support within our fast improving society. Nothing’s stopping the migrants from volunteering themselves into community development.

That's what the UK govt is doing now. For their PRs to become c'ships, they must now do community service and prove that they want to make their communities better.

nuke them?
