Singapore mandatory army training to stay in troubled world http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/af...datory-army-training-stay-troubled-world.html
Singapore will keep its mandatory military service because it cannot depend on help from others in an uncertain world, the city-state's defence minister said on Tuesday. One such country is Lithuania, which scrapped mandatory military service after the end of the Cold War, the minister said. "Today, Lithuania wants to reinstate NS in the face of bold aggression but finds it almost impossible to raise a strong military when they need it most."
