Christmas is also known as the silly season. Just for humor sake, imagine you live in a nation that has Mr. Chiang as a benevolent dictator. The said nation would be characterized by:
- Compulsory military training
- Corporal and capital punishments (say hello to justice)
- Free market economy with corporate welfare
- Militant nationalism
- Heavy emphasis on scientific education
- Low taxation
- High concentration of heavy industries
You know you country's leader is Gen. Chiang when...
...you feel naked out off your uniform.
...you find it utterly annoying that you're watching the nightly 'Military Report' on TV and your spouse asks for sex.
...you address any male stranger older than you as "Sir" or "Master".
…you can’t pass a day without seeing someone in khaki.
…you can’t sleep at night worrying about if your country will survive to face the new dawn as there could be some upcoming crisis, whether it would be economic, fossile fuel or diplomatic.
…you like to watch executions or corporal punishment, public or broadcasted.
...you believe that BA stands for "bugger all!"
...you’ve been told to stand and you immediately shoot up to attention, waiting for “at ease”.
…your weekends are often spent with the Reservists or National Militia. Otherwise, you have no weekend as you'll be in active service.
...you vividly remember the first time you went shooting.
...your favorite social activity is participating in an ultranationalist rally.
...you create a mental picture of an enemy country, you imagine your country's troops storming it, destroying and killing everything!
...your favorite board game (besides Chinese chess) is the kriegspiel.
...you play kriegspiel with your friends and family.

...you can memorize all the propaganda slogan banners in your city.
...you look at a picture of the Hammer and Sickle and you think that commies use the hammer for striking their testis after they've shaved it, using the sickle.
...someone in you family (at least one) is in active service.
...you anticipate National Day more than Christmas.
...you learnt the
NATO phonetic alphabet in your first English lesson.

...your telephone conversations are short, as you follow military radio procedures.
...your son's favorite toy is a scaled model of some of the nation's weapon systems.

...you name your favorite car as this:

...you participate in endless debate about which is the better, M16 or AK-47.
...you enjoy your 50-hour work week as you don't want your nation to die or lag behind industrially or economically.
...your first marching steps are equally a milestone as your first words or your first walk.
...even if you are blind or had a leg amputated, you can still get into your nearest airraid bunker in satisfactory time.
...your right arm gets tired from saluting flags and superiors too much.
...you may not be able to name your favorite color, but you're sure as hell be able to name your favorite BDU pattern:

...as a male, you are confused that 'tampions' are part of feminine hygene.
...crack is not a drug on the market, it's the result on the craniums of drug addicts and dealers after police arrest.
...when a cellphone rings in a crowded area, everyone checks theirs as most people will have the same ringtone- the national anthem.
...one of your heroes was the guy who caught this hoodlum urinating beneath a flag pole and proceeded to shoot the offender, cut his dick off and force him to eat it raw.
...you recommended a tourist this CD titled 'Sounds of My Country'; it had only one track- the sound of a thousand boots marching on concrete. The running time was 70 minutes. Best of all, it contained no loops!
