Sq 117 hijack
-
I only found out Iranian embassy siege n during the SAS storming, they
faced stiff resistance. Spore soldiers really lucky not to face this kind of terrorist -
Well, duh, of course they're lucky. Unlike wannabe weenies (I shan't mention names here to avoid embarrassing you :mrgreen
, no REAL soldier ever wants to do what he's trained for.
Look, it's obvious that you know jack-squat about CT ops, and you wouldn't know an SOF trooper if you saw one and nobody told you. Your little pontifications and judgements only highlight your ignorance, so please stop embarrassing yourself - it's painful to watch. -

U assumed thing already I met one former SOF trooper n u knew what
he tried to borrow money. I thought these soldiers paid highly.

What I heard was that the Commandos entered the cabin and shouted "down" or "sit down" in Malay... and started shooting anyone that was still standing and fits the description.. something like that... Because only SG knows what they are talkib about.. and the hijackers are the only ones probably standing anyway....
using this tactic.. I'm surprise there were no collateral damage, as the Americans call it now. I heard it from the reliable source many many years ago...
Later, every tom, dick and joe was search and identity verified regardless. -

OK, stay in dreamland, then, and leave the real guys to do the real work without you applying your little theories and second-guesses to them.
With the lack of wisdom you've displayed here, I wouldn't be surprised if some little old lady said she was from SOF and you believed her, so pull the other leg - it's got bells on.

I think no old lady will say from SOF to me. Somehow can u tell me how come this former SOF a former manager tried to borrow money from me?Originally posted by Gedanken:Ah, now we're getting to the truth. You DON't KNOW and DON'T WANT to know.

U said one thing is right I refused to know cause I had bad impression of elite soldiers when
serving NS. Sorry not refering to Guards of NDU personnel. -
Aiyah come on this argument has be had countless times here! End of the day we're fighting for the same flag. And even if an SOF trooper borrows money, what's so wrong with that? Paid highly,does not mean he gets to spend every single cent on himself you know. Some people have sick family/aging parents to look after, and judging by the tremendous medical costs here nowadays, it isn't really that surprising... so chill people!

You may not have been scammed into parting with your money, but it looks like you took a guy at his word when he said he was from SOF. Woohoo.
Bad impressions? Jealousy's more like it - it explains the passive-aggressive nonsense. -
I never said anything vulgar, not refering to u n this is only an opinion. If a person cannot accept it, so be it. I never thought some soldier is self-opinionated to put people down.Originally posted by Hellraiza:Aiyah come on this argument has be had countless times here!

This former SOF trooper borrowed money cause he lost money in shares kena
declared bankrupt. During conversation, he admitted he lost too much. I had the impression since SOF trooper paid highly, still want to borrow.
Next time if see any SOF need to avoid them. -
how come can talk frm hijack to borrow money.
-
Hmm - so you know that the guy lost his shirt on the market, but you don't have the sense to see that his salary is not relevant to his financial state. Gee, you're a real genius, aren't you? Businessmen who have made millions can still go bankrupt - are you questioning their salaries as well?Originally posted by will4:I never said anything vulgar, not refering to u n this is only an opinion.

As for self-opinionated, guess who's the one who thinks he knows enough to second-guess the SOF guys who are at least one live op ahead of you?
You've hit rock-bottom here. It's time to stop digging. -

It's a little-known tactic called "changing the subject to worm one's way out of a tight spot".Originally posted by kaobeikaobu:how come can talk frm hijack to borrow money. -
Sorry to divert from the main topic, it is quite frustrating not refering to the quarrel here.Originally posted by kaobeikaobu:how come can talk frm hijack to borrow money.
People tried to borrow money especially those in managerial level.
I need not to explain any further cause in this case, this former SOF person tried to get money n to my
knowledge, SOF trooper paid highly how come still need to borrow money. I never had any special reason to tell lies in this topic. -
For someone who claims not to lie, you sure do spew out a lot of bullshit.Originally posted by will4:Sorry to divert from the main topic, it is quite frustrating not refering to the quarrel here.

So what's your proof that this guy was from Force Line? Don't pull it out if you can't back it up, son.
Don't give me any of that "to my knowledge" stuff either - you've shown that you've got none. -
I noticed u getting upset over SOF matter, how to show u the proof when I barely knew u?Originally posted by Gedanken:For someone who claims not to lie, you sure do spew out a lot of bullshit.

He tried to borrow in thousand n imagined being declared a bankrupt by a court. -
+1 *munching popcorns*

Sport, if you can't prove that he's an SOF guy, you're talking about just some guy who wanted to borrow money from you. Do yourself a favour, admit that you're full of it and at least salvage a scrap of credibility.Originally posted by will4:I noticed u getting upset over SOF matter, how to show u the proof when I barely knew u?

By the way, I'm not upset - thanks for caring anyway. I'm just having a laugh at you making an ass of yourself. The regular posters know that I do that to some tosser or other from time to time. -
I still maintained my position n anyway up to u to believe. I really felt sorry for this former SOF person cause he mentioned he
still had an aging mother to look after.
-
And what nonsensical position is that?Originally posted by will4:I still maintained my position n anyway up to u to believe.
What's there to believe - you say that you met an SOF guy, offer no explanation of why you believe he's telling the truth and you expect other people to be as dumb as you to swallow that? Seriously, what planet are you from?
This is the SAF forum, FYI - I believe Talk C*ck Sing Song is three doors down on the left. -
Anyway, I'm off to cop some Zs. I'll come by to make more fun of you tomorrow.

Will4, Ged.
Some words here in fairness.
Will4, if you look through your words, you will find that you might have made some unfair judgements on the SOF community when you talk about one guy(who is allegedly ex-SOF) seeking to borrow money from you.Then you go on to give the impression that you should avoid them, and that is uncalled for yeah.
Ged might have been harsh, but as for the part about asking you to show proof, he is speaking in rhetoric, not literally asking you to go root that guy out.
Ged, I think you've stated your case quite well, and maybe some might misunderstand the allegories of your words.Most of us know your background, and it's natural for you to fight off any aspersions that people might cast, though by accident and overenthusiasm, but let's not get too flamed here.
Ulcers are bad for all, and we can't enjoy our stingray and kangkong belachan right?
So let's all leave the name-calling alone and get back on to topic.

Aiy. The SOF guys signed on to a high risk job, and thats what they did when they stormed the plane. Honestly speaking, if those terrorist meant business and were more "professional" so to speak, SQ117 would be a smoldering ruin on the runway. They would have planted one of themselves on the aircraft as passenger and not reveal himself. And he would probably be the one holding the detonator if there was a bomb.
The outcome could have gone either way since no one really knew if they were serious or were they amateurs. The point is Sg did storm the plane and it sent a clear message to any other pigs who wanna try another stunt on Singapore.
Fortunately, we have the dead hijackers and a plane load of live passengers. Not to mention a now "feared" CT unit. -
its always better to play safe den sorry in tis kind of scenario.. hundreds of lives were at risk n compromise is not an option..

When you have a hostage situation, you shoot to kill.End of story.
