Thailand's greatest curse is the Thai military.

Just hope he doesn't experience unexplained and mysterious injuries causing a fatal/near fatal incident to pressure mummy into coming home. He wouldn't be the first to have problems from Thai military training as recent dead bodies can confirm.

Terrestrial defense? Against whom? Little green men from outer space? Or perhaps us "farangs", because we're classified as "aliens" too.

 

Ah, I get it... they mean territorial defense.

Actually I would argue that the Royal Thai Police are the biggest curse and stain on the country, with the military and the politicians occupying an ever shifting position in second and third. There are of course many contenders in the top ten, each with an unenviable track record in corruption and dishonesty.

Hahaha, the RTP are a bunch of choir boys compared to their brother sin khaki.

The military are so far and away in top position that there is no second or third place.

I am sure he will be a natural soldier being the son of the ex defence minister Yingluck.

i was trying to tell many TV members Yingluck son was still in Thailand. many were doubting the military has her son.

 

maybe part of the reason we have not heard from her.

The role and position of the military in Thai society is unnatural.

Again, I ask you....has anyone actually gone round to her place and knocked on the door to see if she is home? She might be....

And, if he pursues a career in the Royal Thai Army, he could be on the fast-track to becoming a future Prime Minister.

 

Imagine - a "Shinawatra" with Article 44 at his behest.

Knocked the door this morning, nice cup of tea and bacon sandwich :)

A 15 year old is forced to report for military training and the extent of the reaction is to ridicule the former PM.   People are so quick to condemn child soldiers elsewhere, but not a word from the those so quick to heap scorn on the former PM.

What part of morally unacceptable and unethical to compel a child into forced military training do  some of you not understand? This isn't  cadets, nor the scouts: It is military indoctination no different that the Young Pioneers of the former USSR, the Red Guards of the PRC, the   recruits of  the Khmer Rouge or Hizbollah or various sectarian groups in the Congo. It is wrong. WRONG.

What business is it of yours? Why do you busy bodies need to know the family affairs of other people? Why are you so interested in the absence of the boy's father? It's not as if you are going to win any awards for father of the year are you?

Here's a tip: leave the affairs of young boys alone.

He is a child and if you had any semblance of decency and some cognitive skill you would have instead asked why a CHILD was forced into military training. 15 year old boys should not be indoctrinated into the military, even if it is the tool of opression of your beloved regime.

 

No responsible military member accepts the use of  children in service. It is wrong. Despicable and morally repugnant.

Can be a sensitive subject for those looking for their fathers.

Agreed. Children lack the ability to defend themselves against comments made because a parent is a prominent politician or other high profile individual.

So this is why the son stayed behind? To play with real guns in a fake army.

Student officer training.

 

Just a question, is it only the rich and influential kids that become officers in the Thai military?  Most other kids seem to be drafted as fodder and go on to work as gardeners and cleaners at the homes of the officers.
