Singaporean army counselled soft looking army guy

The photograph showed the young Singaporean soldier in military fatigues and combat boots walking on a footpath, with his female domestic helper following behind with his military-issue rucksack.

This particular picture has caused furoure, red faces and embarassment in the Singapore Armed Forces.

This infamous picture, which quickly became an internet sensation, gave the impression that Singaporean armed forces recruits are softies and not real men and the enemies will laugh at them!!!

Real Soldiers are expected to be able to carry their weapons and rucksacks while engaging in a running gun battle for up to 160 kilometres...!!!

Soldiers are expected to be tough and ready to fight any battle, anywhere, anytime.

But that picture gave unwanted impressions that the particular soft soldier is not at all ready for any battle yet for he will ask for his maid to do the battle on his behalf instead!!!

Look at the pictures below. These are real men, real soldiers, real army personells, ready to fight galantlly and with true valour for their beloved country!!!

These real soldiers are ready to defend the sovereignty of their respective nations!!!

































But ahhh.. here is a real sissy soldier!!! Is he Gay??? nobody knows..

Meanwhile media reported that the sofite Singaporean soldier who was photographed with a maid carrying his rucksack has undergone counselling and is "remorseful" over his behaviour, the Singaporean defence ministry said.

"The serviceman concerned has identified himself to his commander," defence ministry director of public affairs Colonel Desmond Tan said in a letter published in the Straits Times on Tuesday, 5th April 2011.

"He has been counselled and continues his training."

Tan said the soldier was "remorseful for his actions and realises that it was wrong for him to have allowed this".

Singapore maintains a conscript-based military and its armed forces are among the best equipped in Asia.

Every able-bodied male citizen and permanent resident 18 years old and above must undergo two years of military training.

There has been criticism that current training drills are not as tough compared with what older generations had to undergo because of complaints from parents.

Analysts, however, said the rucksack photograph was not a fair representation of today's armed forces.

Poor boy...

July 2010 named the deadliest month for U.S. forces in Afghanistan

KABUL, Afghanistan, 30th July 2010 – as reported by AP, The Associated Press.

3 U.S. service members were killed in blasts in Afghanistan, bringing the toll for July to at least 63 and making it the deadliest month for American forces in the nearly 9-year-war.

A NATO statement Friday 30th July 2010, said the three died in two separate blasts in southern Afghanistan the day before. The statement gave no nationalities, but U.S. officials say all three were Americans. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity pending notification of kin.

U.S. and NATO commanders had warned that casualties would rise as the international military force ramps up the war against the Taliban, especially in their southern strongholds in Helmand and Kandahar provinces.

President Barack Obama ordered 30,000 reinforcements to Afghanistan last December 2009, in a bid to turn back a resurgent Taliban."

The tally of 63 American service member deaths in July is based on military reports compiled by The Associated Press.

June had been the deadliest month for both the U.S. and the overall NATO-led force.

A total of 104 international service members died last month, including 60 Americans.

The American deaths this month include Petty Officer 2nd Class Justin McNeley from Kingman, Arizona, and Petty Officer 3rd Class Jarod Newlove, 25, from the Seattle area. They went missing last Friday in Logar province south of Kabul, and the Taliban announced they were holding one of the sailors.

McNeley's body was recovered there Sunday and Newlove's body was pulled from a river Wednesday evening, Afghan officials said. The Taliban offered no explanation for Newlove's death, but Afghan officials speculated he died of wounds suffered when the two were ambushed by the Taliban.

The discovery of Newlove's body only deepened the mystery of the men's disappearance nearly 60 miles (100 kilometers) from their base in Kabul.

An investigation is under way, but with both sailors dead, U.S. authorities remain at a loss to explain what two junior enlisted men in noncombat jobs were doing driving alone in Logar — much of which is not under government control.

Newlove's father, Joseph Newlove, told KOMO-TV in Seattle that he too was baffled why his son had left the relative safety of Kabul.

"He's never been out of that town. So why would he go out of that town? He wouldn't have," he said.

Senior military officials in Washington, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case, said the sailors were never assigned anywhere near where their bodies were found.

A NATO official in Kabul shot down speculation that the two had been abducted in Kabul and driven to Logar — the same province where New York Times reporter David Rohde was kidnapped in 2008 while trying to make contact with a Taliban commander.

Rohde and an Afghan colleague escaped in June 2009 after seven months in captivity, most spent in Taliban sanctuaries in Pakistan.

Samer Gul, chief of Logar's Charkh district, said the two sailors, in a four-wheel drive armored SUV, were seen Friday a week ago by a guard working for the district chief's office. The guard tried to flag down the vehicle, carrying a driver and a passenger, but it kept going, Gul said.

Gul said there is a well-paved road that leads into the Taliban area and suggested the Americans may have mistaken that for the main highway — which is much older and more dilapidated.

A Tale of Two Gazas

________________

The ongoing bombardment, air and land assault by Israeli forces on Gaza has killed almost 500 people and injuring thousands others, many of them innocent civilians, child, women and eldery man who have nothing to do with the firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas, which triggered the more than week long attack by arguably the greatest army in the world.

By military strength, Hamas is no match to Israel.

Since Israel became a country in 1948, the U.S. has given $14.9 billion as at 2006, in military aid.
The total number of Israeli military manpower is 2,936,041 or almost 3 million.

Israel's formidable fighting machine includes an air force in which 85% of the 602 combat aircraft are American-built.

F-15 Eagles

F16 Falcons

Among them: 40 F-15 Eagles, 75 F-16 Fighting Falcons, 138 F-4E Phantoms (built by McDonell-Douglas) and 246 A-4 Skyhawks, each boasts a frightening set of deadly weapons including Gatling Guns, air to ground and air to air missiles and Rockets.

And Now.....

The second tale of Gaza or rather Gazza

____________________________

The second tale of Gaza or Gazza is not in Gaza, but rather in England.

Paul Gascoigne or better known as Gazza was one of England soccer superstar. He helped England reached the semifinal of the 1990 world cup in Italy – the best ever achievement since England became World Cup winner in 1966.

However after retirement, Gazza still hits the headlines of British and world Media because of his addiction to booze and drugs, which nearly killed him.

Even his 12 year old son, Regan, was reported to have said this “If I could wish, I would wish that he would go away from us. He's probably going to die soon” during a TV documentary shown on Channel 4.

But Gazza is determined to end that miserable life of his by staying sober for 1 month already….

We still remember what happened to Northern Ireland and Manchester United football legend – George Best… whose ravishing lifestyles of booze, drugs, girls and rock n roll had finally taken its tool.. Rest in Peace Mr Best..

And that concludes my tale of the Two Gazas….

Ends.
