We the UNFORTUNATE
Led by the UNWORTHY
To do the UNNECESSARY
For the UNGRATEFUL
Blog surfing for a bit when I stumbled upon this quote, and a sense of deja vu passed over me. It was well founded, though, because I remember where I read it before, in MUTF, if I’m not wrong, or one of the other urban training facilities when I was training there in the last few months. It almost perfectly encapsulates what we feel about national service, sure, after the two years, there might be talk about pride, honour and how it turns boys into men, and how it should remain as an integral part of the Singapore society. But all this glory talk aside, if you had the choice, which buffoon would actually volunteer himself for service? Most, if not all, just want to serve and fuck off for good.
When I rediscovered this quote, I went everywhere to try to find for the source of it, but it does not seem to have originated from anywhere. So, I say kudos so the fellow who wrote this(in camo or in paint, I know not) on the grimy walls of whichever training facility it may have been. You just summarised the entire nation’s male population’s frustration so succinctly.
