Is Combat Surival Course essential for troops in S'pore?
-
Ok,another touchy topic here.Well,personnal feelings here.The Combat Survial Course is extremely important for all our servicemen and women.Why?Simply because it gives and insight to the servicemena and women and insight to the hush and brutal ways when they are caught and made POWs.Though some may argue that there is the Geneva convention which protects POWs,yes I agree,but who follows them?Americans and Brits in Iraq sure don't.No matter how many human rights crap they have.And the Afghan POWs locked away in Guantamo Bay and many other unknown places the worldover.Who knows how much torture and how many rules of the Geneva Convention they have flouted.
And if I'm not wrong the CSC is not yet placed back in action yet.Why are we Singaporeans so naive?A death of a serviceman is regrettable.And it is also painful for their parents and many others around them.The nation reacts in our usual Kiasu manner.And slam the government.The death of one serviceman may save so many others who are put through the CSC conducted by the SAF when in times of crisis.Man becomes plain savages in war.And do many unexplainable things that we may not usually do in our day and age of civilistation.Look at the SAS in Britian and the way the Israelis SF and infantry are trained.I belief that their numbers killed in training are far higher then what we have experienced.But yet,it goes on.Why?Simply because such courses are meant to push the individuals limits and simulate war conditions.In training,it is only 70-80%,but in combat,the realism can go up to 150%++.The purpose is such that the instructors puh the trainess as close to the nature of war as possible so that they will not be stunned when it happens.
Although I am all for the CSC,it doesn't mean that the SAF can be neglect the way they conduct such courses.To be really frank,I have a colleague in CDO and he told me a stunning truth bout the CSC.Its alittle sensitive,if you guys wanna know,please PM me.Thanks. -

there r also ppl who argue tt such courses accomplish nothing cos of its sanitised and controlled nature tt is more often than not a far cry from wat happens in reality.

SOP for handling incident, especially training related:
Suspend all training related to incident, pending BOI and review of TSRs, blah blah....
Knowing any large organisation, it'd take a LONG time.
Just relax and wait. the bigwigs will get around to it. -
