its so true.

do you know that alot of countries have the same conscript army as us?
but do u know these?

1.Austria (6 months)
3.Brazil (9-12 months)
4.Denmark (4-12 months)
6.Finland (6-12 months)
7.Germany (9 months)
8.Greece (12 months)
11.Mongolia (12 months)
12.Paraguay (12-24 months)
13.Poland (9-12 months)
15.Switzerland (18-21 weeks)
16.Taiwan (12 months)
18.Turkey (12 months)
19.Ukraine (12 months_
20.Uzbekistan (12 months)

even taiwan is 12months only. even they have apparent tension with China.
given singapore's situation, no apparent threat sg males have to serve 24months?
to sum up what i did for 2 years in NS.
3mths BMT, 2mths SISPEC and 2mth spec course.
preparation for oversea live fire ~ around 4mths.
that sums up close to 1 full year of military duties.
the rest of the time?
stoning in camp, doing guard duty, countless stupid parades,
countless hours wasted doing non ,military duties.
wasting time i would say.

to say all these doesnt mean i hate NS.
but 2 years is abit too long.
we are losing jobs to FT/FP *FP=foreign peasants
and without good jobs, how to start family ?

its a vicious cycle.
