During the first WW, singapore suffered econmically and during second we suffered jap invasion and a few volunteer troops die too.
Can we survive WWIII if our forces are sent to the battlefield in mid east?
How many of our troops can return if 100,000 men are send?
80%? 60% or less given our NS training
WWI has no effect on Singapore..... or very minimal. The only losses were the death of british officers here.. when the british indian troops stationed here were rumoured to go to the warfront.... so they revolted....
WWII saw the immediate conscripts of singapore natives who wants to fight alongside the british.... however.. they lacked training. However, it is notable they fight valiantly.....
And what makes you think WWIII will be fought in the middle east?
