NS for women. Bring it on!
-
So Dawn "plastic surgery" Ng has been discussing NS for the fairer sex. I couldnt be bothered reading what Barbie wrote, but I do have my views about it.
And my view is this.
NS should be compulsory for females as well as males. They should be limited to non combatant roles, and should serve the same length of time as the males.
Why?
1. It solves the Govt's concern about declining population and lack of people for the Armed Forces. All the males who currently serve in clerical positions can be shifted to ones where they shoot and kick ass instead. The number of soldiers will instantly double.
2. It also solves declining birthrates too. More guys and girls will meet and mingle and more couples will form. Hubba hubba
3. Singaporean women are quite confidant and educated. They believe they are equal or better than men and have no qualms saying so. Let them prove it.
I have no doubt many people will be against this, including:
1. Parents. Armed forces is guy's stuff, not for dainty little delicate ladies, right?
2. The girls. Despite all the bravado and talk of equality, the girl's I've discussed this with are actually quite scared of the thought of actually having to do it. They're quite happy getting on with life, be it work or study, and macking with guys a couple of years older than themselves.
3. The guys. Many guys who take the easy way out pretending to be big military men, but who are really pen pushers, will protest if they have to get off their butts and train like everyone else.
What does anyone else think?
Are there any chicks here who actually have the guts to propose NS for girls? -

1) Think currently government spend 20% of the budget in defence. If the number of soldiers will instantly double, then, probably, government have to spend 30% plus plus on defence. And if number of soldiers instantly double, then, less people will be able to go outside world n generate income for the government to tax...Originally posted by OneWithTheForce:Why?

This sort of thing happens everywhere- school, work, poly, uni.Originally posted by missqi:Okay. So the SAF is a dating organization now?
No one who goes to uni/poly just goes for the lectures. You go to check out the opposite sex. (or the same sex, if you are so inclined).

i have heard rumours about SAF employing tactics to boost nsmen morale though through opposite sex. question their moral of doing so if true though.

a couple of good points there.
but it's also fair that girls serve NS too. if not guys will always be at a disadvantage of 2 years. -

Imagine news of ppl banging in camp everyday.
Reputation at stake.

Hi... -^
Yes.....its too repetitive......
Anyway I believe SG will never implement NS for females....
Even in 50 years time...
It's not emancipation or not, equality or not, full participation or not, etc.......
Coz there is a problem with low birth rate...late marriages....
Population is shrinking.......
The goverment will not want to further worsen the problem by drafting females into NS....
As of now....even NS for males is a cost ...labour delay by 2 years, run a big defence bill financially.....
So....ya....since there is no need......and will incur alot of disadvantages....it will never happen....I think.
