A Part of the Training or Violence?

last few days I watched Buletin Utama. I was attracted to a news that kept me glued to the screen. the news was about an army being beaten by few other armies. so pathetic. based on their uniform, language and accent, i was highly confident that they were malaysians. they were commandos if im not mistaken. it brought me sudden shock which was then triggered a question. was that part of the training module or some sort of punishment to that particular person?curious me. some of the armies outside there might be saying that outsiders do not understand military life and to them, it might just be a normal thing to see.However, the person who stepped forward and exposed the video to TV3 was an army himself. so how would that be explained? why would an army reveal his dissatisfaction towards his own company? was that mean, he himself doesnt understand military life after over 20 years being an army??

well, maybe he doesnt understand. because being a commando is not as easy as people might think. do not make a hasty judgement. we ourselves must first know what is commando before making any assumptions. as far as i concern, commando is one of a group of soldiers who is trained to make SUDDEN attacks in enemy areas. they are trained to be super duper fit! they ought to surpass the threshold of mental and physical endurance. why? becuse its their duty. so how would us expect their trainings to look like? to just cry and quit when being beaten? or to withdraw and run when being attacked?

They are commandos..combatants..the shield. when civillians like us would cry in a war, they, the combatants rise, fight and protect. thats why they are trained so.. and not everybody has the credentials for this job..my salute to those warriors!!

others might say that the video would make the youngsters out there terrified and would not choose to join army eventually.. that might be true.tapi tak kenal maka tak cinta.rather than merempit-ing and die because of that, it is far better to die in serving the country isnt it?

to sum it up, i'm not a commando and a minah rempit neither. huhuhu.. and this blog is not a sort of sarcasm..its just a page where i can express my opinions, views and feelings. thank you. =)
