For army regulars this type of deployment is crucial for career development. and good exposure as the medical staff would be exposed to real casualties.
whether or not we should take part is another issue. |

There are groups including those related to Islamic terror movement, whom will want to drag a nation into a conflict. The conflict can be within the country, not necessary overseas. It's all about power and greed, never for the better of mankind.
Singapore needs to be vigilant and prepare for terrorist attack and all kind emergencies. So there is no doubt we must not let our guard down. But to be involved into some big boys power play, how long and how much can we expense our limited resources. We do not have that level of deep pocket of these big boys. Cost of war per day for the USA. https://www.nationalpriorities.org/cost-of/ |

I really don't see the need for us to give them more excuses to attack our limited resources...we really cannot afford to...LHL might live to regret his rash decision.

LhL said they will still come after us if we stay quiet. True to a certain aspect.
But with our limited resources and also, he forgets the meaning of the word antagonise. Sg so small, any HBD block is a good launch pad. |

Dun think this is a rash decision. We have always been involved since decade ago. I remembered my bmt oc went to Iraq (I think). Did not lose his life but lost lots of hairs. Said to be lack of salt, dun understand why lack of salt though. He indeed got promoted to major after captain Long Long.

Sg always ally to US whatever the latter does we sure support. Not a choice for sustenance reason. If Trump win the election, things might change, and that is our most worry.
