BANGKOK — Police and military authorities are making contradictory statements about who will file a complaint against former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who became a fugitive late last month.

 

Deputy police commissioner Srivara Ransibrahmanakul said Tuesday that the military would file an immigration criminal complaint against Yingluck after she fled the country last month, a claim junta spokesman Winthai Suvaree contradicted, saying the police would do so instead.

What has the army got to do with the absconding of a civilian? Army is for guarding the borders and acts on instructions from an elected government!

I'm not doing it, you do it.  No you do it.  I'm busy, you do it.  I'm busy also, let's just forget it.

Most armies act on instructions of governments but not in Thailand.  In Thailand the military doesn't take directions from the government it does as it pleases and answers to nobody and if the government doesn't do as its told the army will turn on them and eat them.  The country is currently under military rule not civilian.

and answers to nobody

i believe there are real rulers in this place and they have nothing to do with the military except ordering them; the military is just a remarkably stupid operating front

Silly,  the Army is in charge of everything now, from figuring out bus routes to beach chairs.  They are the intellectual and driving force of the country.  Thailand will soar to new heights do to their limiting free speech, buying unneeded military hardware and scaring away investors.

Could you compare and contrast that with recent elected PMs? Were they restricted by conflicts of interest, perceived corruption, even simple ethics?

You are correct.  But isn't the navy subordinate to the army ?

No, they were like teenagers with a loaded Glock.   They were, however, under threat of being voted out of office, but that probably would not have happened either as the recently elected enjoyed an overwhelming dominance over their inept and timid rivals.
