On a semi related note I couldn't help but wonder how this bit would go down with the public if America had a sh*tfest like this go down....

From Singapore: The first part of an urban search and rescue team totalling 55 personnel with four dogs has arrived. In addition, 116 Singaporean Defence Force Personnel who were already in New Zealand are now helping with the security cordon around the Christchurch CBD.
Foreign troops manning security cordons downtown in one of your cities?
Methinks the wingnuts would go berserk! :eek: :panic:


Personally I'm glad to have them along and here to help. :) :thumb:

Oh in case your wondering why the soldiers were already here.....
Singapore is very small (about the size of our Lake Taupo) which means not much room to have battle training grounds, so for a rather large fee they come to NZ and use the Waioru training area to play with the howitzers etc etc.
