You are too generous with your zaps haha

reply

Israel, Taiwan and South Korea make sense

Singapore doesn't

Who is Singapore at war with? Malaysia? Indonesia?

edit: what about Japan?

Well we were abandoned by the British during WWII. We were once part of Malaysia but that didn’t work out. Our population is too small to rely on people signing on with the military as their career

No mandatory conscription in Japan (as yet). The Self-Defense Forces are highly sought after

USA would defend Singapore along with NZ and Australia
