Butcher Mao sent his son to die in Korean War but Tony Tan...

[mscitw]

The difference between these two leaders is stark. Butcher Mao, first Commie leader tried to show he is free from nepotism, hence he sent his waylay son to die in the Korean War to prevent unfavourable comparisons with corrupt decadent Nationalists.

Peasantpore's Tony Tan is smarter, his cronies ensured his darling son became a research scientist during his national service. This is a perversion of the island republic's meritocracy and fulfillment of the Big Balls Theorem. If you are spawns of big shots, you can be assured of a comfortable passage through the national serfship scam.

Only in Peasantpore.

Actually mao sent his son there to help fill up the young mao's resume in preparation for higher office. His son OC sent him on a safe mission.......ren suan bu ru tian suan......suay suay mao's son kena killed. The OC's career was gone. Most old beijing officals knows of this case.

As for TT's case, are there any similiar cases where the nsmen are sons of average commoner? Let the public be judge.

Good story on Mao's son.
Let's see what the US First Family's sons did during World War II and let Singaporeans decide for themselves how the Pappy's behave in comparison.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945) also known by his initials, FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States (1933–1945). and had six children, Anna Eleanor, James,Franklin Delano, Jr. (died in infancy), Elliott,a second Franklin Delano, Jr. and John Aspinwall..

James Roosevelt was the oldest son of U.S. President FDR.In 1939, after World War II broke out was commissioned as a Captain in the Marine Corps.He was in the Marine Raiders, the Marines' commando force, and served with the 2nd Raiders at Midway, and in the Makin Island raid, where he earned the Navy Cross. and was invalided in February 1943. In 1943, he accompanied Army troops in the invasion of Makin, and was awarded the Silver Star by the Army.

Elliott Roosevelt enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps in 1940. He served as a pilot and unit commander in the USAAF during World War II. Roosevelt flew 300 combat missions. His decorations included the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Delano Roosevelt, Jr. was a Naval officer in World War II and was decorated for bravery in the battle of Casablanca.

John Aspinwall Roosevelt graduated from Harvard and when America entered World War II served in the Navy until 1946

Dr Tony Tan, even the Prince of England.....what can I say ?

Prince Harry will serve in Iraq

Prince Harry graduated from Sandhurst last April

Prince Harry's regiment is to be sent to Iraq for a six-month tour of duty, defence officials have confirmed.
Harry would carry out "a normal troop commander's role" serving with his Blues and Royals regiment, they said.

The prince was praised by Prime Minister Tony Blair as a "brave and determined young man" with "a very special character".

He will be the first senior royal to serve on the front line since Prince Andrew in the Falklands in 1982.


The Royal household has been consulted throughout
Joint MoD and Clarence House statement

Iraq deployment no surprise
This will involve "leading a troop of 12 men in four Scimitar armoured reconnaissance vehicles, each with a crew of three" from the regiment's "A squadron", a joint statement from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Clarence House said.

"The decision to deploy him has been a military one, made by Chief of General Staff, Gen Sir Richard Dannatt, in conjunction with Cornet Wales' commanding officer," it added.

"The Royal household has been consulted throughout."

Further details of exactly where Harry, 22, would serve, or his specific role, would not be released because such a move would be "potentially dangerous", the statement added.

Speaking in an interview with the BBC on Thursday night, Mr Blair said Harry's determination to serve in Iraq was "very typical of him".

"He's a brave young man and he's a very determined young man who wants to be part of his regiment and part of the Army," he said.

"I think that shows a very special character on his part."

Sandhurst graduation

A Blues and Royals source said Harry, who has long expressed his determination to see front-line action, was "over the moon" at the deployment.

Last year, the prince said: "There's no way I'm going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country."

In a written statement to MPs, Defence Secretary Des Browne said two squadrons from Harry's Household Cavalry Regiment would be deployed with the rotation of troops to take place in May and June.

The lead formation of British troops, currently 19 Light Brigade, would be replaced by 1 Mechanised Brigade, supported by Prince's Harry's regiment, the statement added.


HAVE YOUR SAY
He is in the Army and wants to be treated like any other junior officer

Prince Harry graduated from Sandhurst in April last year and qualified as an armoured reconnaissance troop leader in October.

His rank of Cornet is used by a small number of cavalry units including the Blues and Royals and is the equivalent of the more usual rank of 2nd Lieutenant.

Known to colleagues as Troop Commander Wales, he is able to lead reconnaissance units known as the Army's "eyes and ears".

Confirmation of the deployment comes after Prime Minister Tony Blair told MPs that 1,600 British troops would return from Iraq within the next few months.

He said the 7,100 serving troops in the south of Iraq around Basra would be cut to 5,500 soon, with hopes that 500 more will leave by late summer.

Prince Andrew, Harry's uncle, was a helicopter pilot in the Falklands conflict.

It is silly for Butcher Mao to put his son in the front line where he stands a higher chance of becoming a cannon fodder than fly sorties with the soviets protecting his arse.

Isn't Tony Tan a sly deep bloke with funny hair do, at least his son get to fight with soil disease in the safe quarters of his labs while many peasant children piled up injuries and learn all sort of dirty tricks during their national serfship....

Recently Bayi Singh says the 4G National Serfs are doing well but clever peasants know what serfs need is a more 'comprehensive' insurance coverage ......
