Won't these people ever shut up?

Before I begin, everyone who is going to ask why I still am responding to rubbish like this: DON'T.

Thank you for your forthcoming cooperation.

Now, to the point. Why am I not surprised that the letter writer is a woman? No offence to females, and I know plenty better females than this ungrateful bitch above, but it seems that letters of this sort (complaints about NSmen) always seem to come from people of this gender. It's not hard to see why, obviously.

Equally obviously, the bitch who wrote the letter has no fucking idea whatsoever what NS is like - and is not able to understand that these six NSmen she does not hesitate to happily insinuate as being "rude and inconsiderate" are helping to defend her worthless life and the equally valuable lives of her progeny (if any) and relations.

"Unbelievable, shame on you!" she apparently squealed. Lady, we wouldn't be defending your sorry, ungrateful hide if we had a choice, believe me. You obviously don't in the least appreciate us doing that, so why should we? We should just let you get brutally gang-raped to death by any enemy that, touch wood, ever invades this island. Complete ingrates like you don't deserve to live, or an eventual fate that is anything but slow and painful.

Most NSFs suffer through two years of slights, indignities and outright abuse. They put up with unreasonable demands and requests, slog through layer upon layer of red tape, bow and scrape every day to lesser men with higher ranks just because they have higher ranks - among many and various other frustrations and difficulties. A combat-fit male enters Basic Military Training for nine weeks, during which he is much of the time told that he is the lowest life-form in the food chain and is made to feel it, sacrifices five-and-a-half days out of seven (more than that, actually, considering booking in on Sunday night) and is paid the minuscule sum of three hundred and fifty Singapore dollars per month. Most of these men are not born soldiers. To rather understate the matter, they do not enjoy being treated as above. Yet they do it, because they have to, and most of them actually put their hearts and souls into it. Why they do that is another discussion for another day, but the point is that NSFs, and to a lesser degree NSmen, suffer to protect this country and its citizens. Are their sacrifices not worth a seat on the MRT?

That cunt up there seems to believe so. The elderly couple may be frail, but please, everyone ask yourselves, is this fair treatment for our NSFs/NSmen? Is this fair treatment for the not-soldiers who sweat and bleed in green for the nebulous concept of a nation? Are these NSFs not already doing a service to the elderly couple and, unfortunately, this ungrateful cunt by giving their blood, toil, tears and sweat in the service of the Republic of Singapore and its people?

We give (gave) up two years of our life, on minuscule monthly pay, because we have to - and most of us put effort into the jobs we do even then. Two years of our life doing something about 99% of us feel little inclination to do, is not worth a seat on the MRT?

Fucking cunt. If (when?) an enemy ever steps upon our shores, I hope they catch you, gang-rape you brutally with large and blunt objects and leave you to bleed slowly and extremely painfully to your death from your ruptured extremities.

Once more - I mean no offence to women in general. Plenty of women understand the difficulties of NS. Unfortunately, too many don't seem to.

And a final word on discourtesy of the young: in an incident I mentioned several weeks back, I certainly was not the discourteous one. Shut the fuck up already, self-righteous middle-aged cunts.
