The woman uploaded a photo depicting several men in army fatigues at a bus stop on July 8. The accompanying caption read: “They all smell bad. Really bad. Are they not taught to maintain their hygiene in the army?"

The post quickly went viral, but not for the reasons the original poster could have anticipated.

Instead of garnering sympathy, she was met with a wave of backlash from individuals incensed by her perceived disrespect.

Commenters were quick to jump to the defence of the NSFs, with many suggesting the woman lacked understanding regarding the realities of military life.

“You talk so simple, I see you join the army lah. They are defending the country and you. Ingrate,” read one comment on the post.

Some joked that the scent she found offensive was the "smell of service to the country", while others urged her to consider the personal sacrifices these young men make.

“Your son will smell the same one day,” another Facebook user added.
