Sunday, October 16, 2005 - ns woes. : DAMN YOU BLOGSPOT.

GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR USELESS SERVER.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!

-__-.

i jus typed out an entire entry and nothing come out. i am feeling so ..... -_- now. ARGH.

nevermind. i will just type it all AGAIN.

ok. *mutters* DON"T BLOGSPOT HAVE A RECOVERY MEMORY????? ARGH. anyways.

since we are on the topic of ns, i will post about ns stuff.

thanks to the wonderously effective/ineffective propaganda that was employed on us in the form of social studies when we were still in school, Singapore expounds on how wonderfully formidable the defence force is.

you see Singapore banks heavily on the whole concept of citizen army. for those of you who slept during your social studies class (tsk tsk...), a citizen army is where the bulk of the male population has had military training of some sort and is "combat worthy".

in theory, the whole concept of a citizen army is suppose to be almost perfect. just like communism.

but as we all know, communism turned out to be a major flop.

and the thing is, the concept of a citizen army has NEVER been tested. right.

a few months ago, while i was playing badminton at SAFRA toa payoh, about 10 30+ (most probably younger) guys were taking their napfa.

and was i APPALLED.

a grand total of ONE guy could manage a chin-up, while the rest just hung from the bar like flailing bananas. to put it in a more blunt fashion, they looked like a bunch of inept monkeys caught right in the middle of an epileptic fit whilst hanging on for dear life from the bar.

the other stations was just ABYSSMAL.

and the first thought that came to my mind was:

IS THE DEFENCE AND FREEDOM OF SINGAPORE IN THE HANDS OF THESE MEN????

frankly, i think they will die from breathlessness before they even reach the battle front.

if you ask me, the only way a citizen force is going to work is when the guys are FIT. and when i say FIT, i mean MUSCULAR. LEAN. TONED. SIX PACK. guys from the age of 18-40 should be forced by LAW to be fit.

imagine a nation where guys with a six pack and a broad, thick chest is as common as the ten cents you find in your wallet.

and frankly, how many actually remember their training?? i can imagine this on the battle field.

soldier 3: DID YOU JUST PRESS THE BUTTON TO FIRE THE TANK SHELL??!?!?! YOU STUPID #$#$@$%@#!!!

soldier 2: relac la brother... i remember my training (i think..).. just press THIS!

sigh. is that the sorry fate of the singapore armed forces? we are sooo poor thing...
