True. But I don't think they even have selective conscription. Height requirements knock out a lot of volunteer applicants - this suggests that the military has pleanty of choice and no shortage of raw volunteer manpower.

Ya, kopassus memang bagus sekali....kenapa? Karena kopassus sudah ada beberapa aktiviti militar yang benar. sebetulnya, mereka membebas hostages di Thailand dalam pada tahun 1980s, dan kopassus juga membebas hostages di irian jaya pada tahun 1997. Silakan bacalah yang buku itu.

That's fine - but in that era they were receiving training assistance from both the Australian and US special forces. Since the succession of East Timor from Indonesia this training has not occurred and the quality of Kopussus has plummeted. Regards, Massive

"Since the succession of East Timor from Indonesia this training has not occurred and the quality of Kopussus has plummeted." heheheh....mungkin....tetapi di mana misal-misal anda? kopassus masih beroperasi dimana-mana. Tetapi tentu saja mereka perlu-perlu lebih uang!

Yes - agree that there is a fair bit of supposition there - but I think you may find that my supposition is pretty close to the truth. They may be everywhere in Indonesia but I sincerely doubt that they are operating anywhere else (and I include East Timor and PNG in this). There aren't many military units in the world that would say that they don't need more money!

"and I include East Timor and PNG in this" Sebetulnya, saya mengira kopassus sudah dalam PNG dan timur leste. Saya membaca sejarahnya dan mereka selalu merembesi lain-lain negeri. Negeri Indonesia juga tanya negeri cina untuk tolong militar, kalau lain negeri-negeri tidak mau tolongnya. http://www.etan.org/et2004/november/01-07/05i-looks.htm Negeri indonesia dan negeri australia juga bertolong-tolongan. http://www.theage.com.au/news/National/Australia-Indonesia-to-hold-exercises/2005/04/13/1113251671340.html?oneclick=true
