Splat, I don't know why you're acting like such a bully, my opinion is different than yours, so what? I don't know what your stance is, because you have shown is that you are hostile to my points. Not everyone thinks as you do or comes to the same conclusions. This is a forum, where ideas are exchanged. I see nothing wrong with national service, except of course that women aren't asked to serve.
Jpatokal- genuine answer: no, never been in the army. Is this where you diminish my opinion? Never been to Israel either.
There are other, perhaps less evident similarities between Singapore & Israel. I think your view is simplistic.
And yes, barbs are meant to hit home and to sting. I would think a mod would know.
