let me put it this way. For those individual who wants to AWOL think again if u r rounded up by enemy. U r still a POW not a civilian because u r NSF. Unless u r already oversea, and if u r oversea better not on enemy land than u may be consider a traitor....that is another problems....so use your brain.Originally posted by constancebay:What do you think will happen to singapore if there is a war?
I think this is what will happen
Stay out NSF: These NSF will simply awol
The rich NSF will probably buy a ticket to fly out of singapore together with their money and never ever come back
The poor NSF will probably find a place in singapore to hide(small as singapore maybe when there is a war and everything is so messy it can be hard to find you)
Stay in NSF: These poor chaps wll probably get confined in camp as the SAF will be afraid that they will awol. They will have no choice but to fight in the war but will probably awol during the war when they have the chance to do so.
Reservaist: The same as the stay out NSF. The rich reservaist will simply fly out of singapore to other countries while the poor reservaist will probably not be stupid enough to go back to camp to report. They will probably awol and find a place in singapore to hide.
Even if the reservaists go and fight in the war, they will probably be the 1st to get kill as they have forgotton how to use their M16 and probably due to busy working and never train regularly they don't even have the strength to carry a full battle order
Commando and other elite combat units: They will probably be the only 1 left to fight the war. But these people who like to deceive themselves with the saying "1 of us can kill a hundred soliders" will probably all die in foreign land.
They will be send to the enemy country to attack the enemy bases. When they reach there, it will be their 1st time in their life to see dead corpse, hands and legs being blown up by generades. They will be so scared by all these sightings that their balls will tremble and they don't even have the strength to carry their guns
They will than start crying "I miss my mummy. I miss my gf" and surrender, hoping that their enemy will give them a chance to go back to singapore alive
The rest of the combat units: The majority of the remaining combat units will have to stay in singapore to defend the country as AH LEE will be afraid that if he send all the soliders out than nobody defend singapore than his empire will be conquired.
1 bomb laned in singapore and it destroyed everything in it, killing and destroying all the soliders and everything in it including AH LEE assets.
Ending: Sad but the truth is singapore lose. They will than realise that 40 years of ns is just a waste of time
Put it this way, Indonesia has a population of more than 200million, their defence budget is 3billion USD. Singapore has a population of 4.4million, our defence budget is 6billion USD. If Singaporeans are as you said, so unmotivated to defend our home despite having much higher pay and technological superiority, but are the chances are that our aggressors would stay in their units?Originally posted by constancebay:What do you think will happen to singapore if there is a war?

Not citizen soldiers liks us.
If they hit...it will be insurgent style. No doubts about that...which means more work for our 6SIR Spartans.Originally posted by blitzonic:But they're a professional army. Not citizen soldiers liks us.
Instead, I'll rebut it this way: Indonesia is a big country, but their armed forces is relatively small, supposedly only 300,000. Their command structure is also regional-based (KODAM II is nearest to us though, if I recall correctly, there are 3 other KODAM entities stationed elsewhere in Sumatra) & their whole ORBAT still centered around counterinsurgency ops. Their naval fleet cannot do a Normandy-style invasion yet, maybe for the next 20 years unless there's an arms race in SE Asia.

This MIGHT be the sad truth but this is will not be the cause or reason that we should surrender to the enemies. Even if my leader abandon my country and fly to another, I will still fight, for the reason is simple... my family and loved ones are here. If I don't fight, who will? Of course you can say there's other fighting, what will one man like me do??Originally posted by rooki:While you're all fighting and otherwise risking your necks defending the country, your dear leaders will be the first to fly to and sit around in some neutral country watching the war with an impassive eye, or even setting up shop there and never looking back.
If and ever you win and prevail, some of your dear leaders will fly back, and announce to everybody that it was only due to their leadership and ability that the war could have been won. Medals will be given out but no real compensation made (hey, reconstruction costs are hefty, you know). After a few years, the contributions made by those fallen are only ceremonially commemorated once a year, with scant regard made to honor them in any other way (You fought the war; it was your duty and nothing else. We have already honored you via an annual 'vetarans' day'; what else do you want, 3 meals in a restaurant?).
Meanwhile life goes on as before, with war vets and citizens continuing to get shafted while the leaders and foreign elites live it up in a city defended by countless nameless, thankless Singaporeans.
Sigh...leaders trying to take advantage of ordinary peoples' concern for their family.Originally posted by VagueHart:This MIGHT be the sad truth but this is will not be the cause or reason that we should surrender to the enemies.

But if everyone gives this mindset, who will be the one fighting?
Originally posted by rooki:In a pre-emptive strike, you'd strike their military bases and equipment to prevent their attack. You wouldn't go bomb civilians. The military personnel to be killed are technically not innocent because they are directly contributing to the war effort. Of course civillians will get hit, but it is not the objective of a pre-emptive strike to bomb out civillians a-la-Hiroshima.
Sigh...leaders trying to take advantage of ordinary peoples' concern for their family.
Heck, there's a fair chance that Singaporean women and children may be figuratively held at gunpoint to force Singaporean men to fight OR ELSE.
Such exploitation...
On a not-so-unrelated tangent, the current 'battle plan' for the SAF is to prevent fighting on home ground as far as possible, from what I know.
What if you are one of the personnel assigned to carry out a [b]pre-emptive strike? Does 'defending the country' still count? What if you knew that otherwise innocent civilians would be killed? Will you kill in cold blood, without any 'defense' clause to speak of?[/b]

Originally posted by rooki:I doubt my leader's order for a pre-emptive strike will directly kill the civilians, pre-emptive strike normally targets important building and structures like anti-aircraft equipments and military bases/runways etc.
