At a recent bilateral exercise between USA and our SAF, the commanding officers were having a friendly argument over which side had the bravest soldiers.
The USA CO summoned one soldier over. "You will be sent to our Ranger's jungle survival course. 21 days in the jungle, no supplies. You will only be given a knife and nothing else. The jungle is filled with hungry leopards, venomous snakes, and spiders larger than your hand. Will you do it?"
"SIR YES SIR!!! HURRAH 'MURICA!! LETS GO IMMA GO GET EM!!". Given his strong display of bravado, surely he's one of the bravest soldier representing USA.
Not to be upstaged, the Commander of the SAF called over the nearest NSF. The commander told him exactly the same request word-for-word.
"SEOW AH!? You go hong gan lah want limpeh do dunno what shit. You talk so big you ownself go and do ok? WGT ORD LOH!" With that said, the young soldier gave the Commander a rude gesture and promptly walked away.
And so the argument over which side had the bravest soldiers was settled without any further dispute.
