Why is 1 year the total time?Technological changes mean the professional military system has to stay one way or another, even in early industrial age it was the officers being the military leaders, though a lot of manpower was needed below them. Now? A year is not really enough to even git gud at commanding a tank, nevermind a platoon of them, or servicing their electronics, and let's not even get into ships, jets or more strategic systems of any sort.
In SST they basically served for the duration.
It's the least bad form of corruption as it's predictable, controllable and calculable.
Still in the end it's far from the worst MIC around in terms of their price to quality ratio in international arms market.
Singapore runs on third world immigration and authoritarianism, while their expected military opponents are also third world, so they can afford that in terms of incentives and necessary effects.
It is doing a hell of a lot better than some other countries where value added is concerned.

And you see me contradicting this, which was my own point, where exactly?That's more practical, but still, good luck settling the details and getting that passed through courts, constitutions, parliaments etc.
That's a political problem, not manpower problem. Most of the current teachers would teach Mises if they get told to in university and will get unceremoniously fired if they refuse. But they won't, they are believing and teaching what the leftists and their political allies in ministries and universities want them to, because they would get fired if they didn't. That's one of main problems with inflating the government sector, that's a lot of people the establishment as-is gets to boss around for own purposes.
Yeah, sure, tell that to the paid electorates of ghetto blacks, UK ghetto Pakistanis and ghetto roma all over the place, some of which get paid directly to vote.Ironically, according to statistics, a lot of the parasites predictably don't bother to lift their asses up once every few years to even vote for more parasitism.
You do not need all of them and the parasite bureaucracy around them to vote, just enough to dilute the vote of the right.
Vote harvesting is exactly the type of bullshit we need to block.Seems like bothering to vote at all even when anyone can do it for free is correlated with some sort of basic level of civic-mindedness too, and leftists hate it, hence schemes with "vote harvesting", compulsory voting and so on.
