Easier adaptibility-> Better performance-> Better result
You wanna serve a much longer NS instead of just 2 years? All the durations of courses were shorten due to the reduction of NS from 2.5yrs to 2 yrs. If you like to serve longer, you can request for longer periods but i dare say most of the population will not mind an even shorter NS and less time in BMT instead of more.
