SAF is one of the best armies around. Despite being situated in the middle of a volatile region, have two potentially hostile neighbours, SAF has managed to keep the peace for the past 4 decades with very little loss of life or limb from its soldiers.
"Little loss of life or limbs"....is a blatant lie, I got a feeling, you have not served National Slavery....I can count, the number of the guys with me from recruit days up to reservists had DIED during training....how about that poster boy Navy Jason...what did he loose? his pants!..please try to lie, properly!!.
Whether we have the best armed forces in this region is YET TO BE TESTED, Yes!, on paper, we have an impressive array of weapons etc...but we are BLESSED, that we do not have battles fought in & around the country..BLESSED !
But, with the training I received in the ______!!, & the numerous cockups, I cannot count on a small patrol of 6 trainee Officers ( OCS), with tertiary education, with a MAP ( no GPS, back then), on a small night patrol, getting LOST on Tekong.... I shudder! what I read your "best armies"....
