This Is Freedom

At the end of every ICT (Reservist In-camp Training), we were given a questionaire, a sort of feedback from the Nsmen to the top officials. I remember several of the questions are asking us, in the line of whether we would die fighting to defend Singapore. This is met with cynical remarks from many NSmen. Some say they would be the first to run should a war descend upon Singapore while others say given a choice they would find the safest spot should there be no choice but to participate in the war. Yes, hardly encouraging isnt it? Of course i believe should that day comes, many would still fight to defend, well maybe not in the frame of mind of the country but definitely for their families.
Actually, we can see a subtle difference in the mentality between us and the westerners. An American General Patton during WWII once commented that he did not want his soldiers to die for his country, he wants them to let the bastard enemies die for their country instead. We may laugh at this seemingly tongue-in-cheek statement but it actually reflects our attitude towards life. Proactive vs Reactive. Think about it..
