  true, partly due to the fact most singaporean males did their NS service in the Army, and so relate better to media protraying army stuff
  
  and because the SAF's main bulk ( in terms of manpower) is in her army, we associate, or commonly associate SAF = army/NS.
  
  and media, being media, find ways to connect to more people.
  
  or perhaps army gets the bigger share of the public relations budget of the SAF?

  Showing these shows are great but I just hoped that they add more realistic elements to watever story line. Example
  
  - The use to extensive hokkien swearing. Can also use "beep" to censored it but the idea is to let the general public know, army life and swearing goes hand in hand.
  
  - The Office politics stuff like backstabbing, example 2LT backstab LTA, dig big big holes for ppl to fall in, example, upper-study teach only 1% to understudy, etc
  
  - The acting of various attitudes like xia lan, lau lan, tua kang, BHB, CMI, etc
  
  - The real portray of army life: Sai gang, endless duties, 101 ways of kenging, arrow, kena arrowed, die also duno how kena killed, etc
  
  (feel free to add on)
