The army is for protecting the country and its people, not protecting a group of privileged people.

Country is gone if the army cannot protect it and its people. Govt can still form a new one if it's gone in a war.

The govt once said we can stay in jaybee old folks home...

The army in command or the chef of army can still make decisions, right? 

The soldiers and the people can also decide themselves whether they want to fight on to death to protect the country or surrender themselves. What if the whole govt has perished or run away and escaped to another country? Just wait to die?

 

If you are soldier, would you choose to escort the leader to another country as the first priority or would you go help and protect your family and friends to escape from the hands of the enemies first? I would choose the latter because the lives of family and friends values to me more than the leader. If the duty as a soldier cannot even protect his loved ones, what's the point of being a soldier? And if a leader can lead a war to the country, do you think this person is worth saving?

 

If the people cannot even fight for themselves without a surviving govt, the country has already failed as a country of its own in the first place, since it is not adaptive to situations and changes. Without the govt, means dead, gone, bye bye. We can't even think of ourselves, make decisions for ourselves in times of such crisis, protect ourselves, then why are we still calling ourselves an independent country? 

 

Your duty as a soldier is to serve the country, and protect the people, especially your loved ones and ensure orderly even after the war. The govt is replaceable. The people won't die without a govt, but they will die if they can only fight when they need someone to remind them to fight.

 

Yes, whining won't do a lot of things.

Do what is needed and meaningful, the vote in the election counts.

I cannot imagine how history would have panned out if the soldiers of long time ago are going to put personal obligation to family above official duty when it is obvious where his loyalty should be. Just think. Certain thing can be argue, but certain thing simply cannot be argue one. A soldier is simply suppose to follow order. Period. No need to bring about what thinking here and there. Diversity in thinking really have no place when come to executing orders.

 

It is really weird that we have selfish people among us who have developed this warp thinking and trying to justify it into something righteous. I shudder to think what is going to happen when we are being attack...I am afraid many coward will act according to their interests and not come out to fight the enemy, claiming not worthy to fight for the government and that family more important so should be protected instead. In the end, really hosayliao.

History has also taught us that wars are caused by bad leaders with poor decisions and their own agendas. 

Many wars are in fact caused by govts and govts are the root of all problems.

 

You can be the soldier to protect what is supposed to be protected or continue being the pawn of others agenda. The duty of the soldier is to protect the country and its people. Simple as that. 

Country is country, govt is govt. Govt is not the country. 

The govt once said we can stay in jaybee old folks home...

 

And govts are replaceable too if they are incompetent.

We all love our country in one way or another.

Don't let the hatred of one ruling party overshadow that.

Well said.

No one has problem defending your families and fighting Intruders.

 

The fact remains, the system also demands that when called, you lay down your own, your friends, yours sons lives to defend someone like our president... Wether it's worth our sacrifice, whose interest the current president is here to serve.. you know in your heart... Actually it isn't even the main problem, just the latest problem of this system you are required to protect wholesale.

And the moral dilemma all need to solve.... Obviously some choose to ignore.

I think all people in SG are worth protecting.

 

It's about humanity in terms on major conflict.

 

Once the line is drawn, anyone that stand with SG should be protected, no matter colour, creed or belief.

 

It a like in a working team, when we ran into an emergency, deal with the emergency 1st. Settle the problem 1st.

When things are resolved then find the causes.

 

I hate it when problems happen, people start to step in and find more faults, find the causes, but never resolve the problem.

 

If it's my team, Will remind everyone find the solutions 1st. Inquiry later.

That must be the resonant frequency.

 

Like when hit the right pitch of a wine glass, the glass just burst into smithereens.

Driving on PIE Changi direction just now, saw a super patriotic Ferrari SME plate, red with white crescent and stars decal job on it.

 

Only the super rich so supportive (and they can well afford it), of the system that made them wealthier.

 

Looking at the opulent car, I guess I can sympathize with our ministers ... true that their salary is justified [laugh]
