NO NS FOR MALES
-
I guess in that case, you'd have to get women to do NS too. Lately, like the previous poster has mentioned, men have become all gu-niang. Women nowadays, if you observe their behavior are very into the male trend. They smoke, they ride bikes, they curse and swear, they have short hair, yada, yada, yada...
What I'm saying is, if NS is so important to the country, the women should play a part in it too shouldn't they? After all, it is also their country! Forget cooking (which they can't seem to do nowadays anyway), forget cleaning (which they get maids to do), forget taking care of babies (again the maids do this), look towards NS for women...duty, honor, country! -
I know of females more masculine, stronger and fitter than many males I know
And the thing about strength? Not really true because women are only 10% weaker overall and 30% weaker in Upper Body Strength.
And their IPPT is much easier and their SOC is 6 stations only. Gah.

all right.. just one more time...
1) I do not hate ns. I am in fact all for it. I just feel that 2.5 f#$@ing years is too much. Basically this is a view which is shared by ppl who have finished ns and who are starting it.
2) I totally agree with the fact that a large army would make our neighbours think twice about attacking us. My point is that if there happens to be a war, the casualties of singapore would be more because of the limited land area and we are prone to bombs and missiles. An alliance with a powerful country would not only help during the war, but would act as an additional obstacle for singapore. You can never be too safe.
3) For all those of you who keep referring to the primary school textbooks... grow up. If you keep listening to the governments views and not question them on why it is so then you are wasting your time at forums... cuz this is the place for people to stand up and question the authority of the government.
Feel free to respond... but dont bullshit and write crap for the sake of reiterating... i hope to receive a knowledgeable response...
