Layman: "Navy vs Commando"

I heard this from colleague HongTat who read it on the Internet,
the amusing perspective of the layperson:

What is the difference between
Navy Sailors and Commandos
during war?

"Commandos - When the war bell sounds, the Commandos get recalled and rush to their camps within 2 hours, pack their heavy bags, ready their powerful weapons, load up onto their sophisticated transports, get briefed in their well-equipped staging area, board their sophisticated helicopters, rappel down their specially constructed rappelling ropes, looking through their technologically advanced night vision goggles... then plunge bravely into battle, get shot and die heroic deaths.

Navy Sailors - When the war bell sounds, the Navy sailors get recalled and rush to their camps within 2 hours, pack their heavy bags, embark their sophisticated (and some say stealthy) ships, then watch CNN: watching the Commandos rappel down their specially constructed rappelling ropes, looking through their technologically advanced night vision goggles... then plunge bravely into battle, get shot and die heroic deaths."

Is this your version?


If it is, i recommend some general articles (on Wikipedia):
Navy, Naval Tactics, Singapore's Navy,
Commando, Singapore Armed Forces
