Kusje Supersonic April 14, 2015 Share April 14, 2015 how could a mercenary be linked to loyalty? Why not? Before taking up the job, they are loyal to money. After taking up the job, they are loyal to you assuming you keep up your end of the bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocus Turbocharged April 15, 2015 Share April 15, 2015 (edited) how could a mercenary be linked to loyalty? You don't know the Gukhas. They are not in for the money. You give them a life, a family, they repay you with their life. Their honor can be even strong than non-mercenaries, like NSFs.

Their honor can be even strong than non-mercenaries, like NSFs. Just as Gurkha's are well known for Bravery in fighting and loyalty , Sherpas are well kwown for mountaineering skills and toughness. I was jogging along ECP & suddenly this bunch of guys (all didnt look big size) overtook me and I thought they must be some Chinese team training for some sports run and on my return run - this time saw face to face - they had chisseled like faces and immediately knew they were Gurkhas and they run in such a steady speed and in a group of like 5's and since i ran about 2 hours ... they too must have done the same or even longer and boy were they fast (by the time i reach the end point they already "pusing balik" 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishcumstrue 6th Gear April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Stamford modernised this place, from a fishing village. Without Stamford, no one will know us at all. So he did make alot of impact on us. LKY brought it up post WWII. What a bull - that angmoh came here and make Singapore a colony and Singapore residents all British subjects in the name His Majesty of england king. LKY used also believe amtk until he saw how the Jap screwed them and later how he was treated while studying in england. Raffles took away Asian pride while LKY return it to us. Don't mix both of them simply based on who "modenised this place". 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to give away scholarships and PR, they're the ones who deserve it. but i heard that in the UK where they have been employed for many decades or even a century... they are not getting much welfare benefits... also it must be costing the kingdom lots of money to maintain this old guys there which on one side they were praised for their bravery but now they are commercially non viable... it costs the Kingdom money which the tax payers are definetely unhappy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
