    So, Shura, where will you be moving to when you get out of the army?

    Who said that Singapore was a small country?? It is one of the most populated countries in the world so I wouldnt say it was small.

    OK pals, now it's my turn. Polish army (present)... You may start laughing now. We are worse prepared to fight any hypothetical war than in spetember'39. Then we survived a month and I still wonder how. Today we have ammo for a week or 8 days maybe. I suppose the present doctrine is to kneel down and pray NATO comes and comes soon. Yea, some people are that optimistic.

    Our army consists of helluva lot of communist-regime generals and officers whose only training in some cases was a two-week 'officer-course' in late 1940's and then life experience (read: communist party experience). Others have finished some schools, but everyone knows what was the main aspect of training. As for low-rank regulars - God save us!

    Overall effect is that the compulsory service is a free survival & melee course for thugs and a place where so called 'snobs' get a practical lesson of life being mudded and treated like cattle by street thugs and Forrest-style maniacs during their romantic rendez-vous with social downs ideology in theory and practice.

    I suppose it's to befall me either en cours of my university studies or soon after I have graduate. It's not that really bad as when you fail university entry exams - then you get the full scope. During the studies you only get a bunch of studs to push you and your university pals all around. After graduating you serve a mock 6-9 months which is only to appease the dumb law and you do close to nothing in some lame rank that nobody nows what it exactly is. When the war starts you're supposed to get 2nd lieut. then. Some medicine and other faculty students have optional training after which they leave the university as lieuts or even captains (my uncle had the luck). Being a law student I'll try and find some way to get some rank of the sort, a sword & shortgun hanging on my belt and no rifle & shovel excesses. I'm even ready to sacrifice a few months for military court practice for this purpose. It's going to pay off, definitely.

    I kinda hated the Soviet army.So after the Afghan war I moved to another country hoping to find peace only to find out after a few years living here a chinese political party disagreed in the usage of english in the study of mathematics and science.Back in May 13 1969 (or was it 1963) there was a riot.Chinese men hacking up malays 'cause the malays didn't want to give their land to them.Unfortunately for the chinese soldiers with guns were there.(Zooms back to present day)Being a whitey I decided to talk to one of the chinese political dudes.They disagreed cause they didn't want the malays to master english.So here I am being drafted because the government are afraid that something like that will happen again.What sucks most is that we don't have any AK-74s and the drill seargeants are unexperienced *******s.I have to use a dopey M-16 which barely works when it's raining.With that kind of experience I doubt I'll make it out alive in a riot.France, please give me one of your lovely FA-MAS.

    No offence to the chinese.

    Shura, don't feel disturbed, I am a lot more sicker than you think. And the paladins, they can rest in pieces.

    Eze casts 'Paladin Detonation' and pallies are chopped into pieces by a big red sword

    Killing is fun. :D

    In Holland we actually recieved some threats from terrorists in the last year ( :rolleyes: ) I´m very happy about that, because that actually means a organisation or country is taking us serious. Yay
