Failing to heed deputy minister of Defense General Udomdech Sitabutr's recent warning "that manning checkpoints in the southernmost province have become too easy a target for insurgents. ... Remaining in one place for too long made them vulnerable targets for insurgents, who could watch and become familiar with their routines"

So much for army chief Chalermchai Sitthisad's "Smart Man-Smart Army."
