Cake Monster Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Absolutely disgraceful in 2018 that a young Soldier and Father of children is beaten to death by his Superiors Yet another black mark for the Thai Nation, a Nation that considers itself to be civilized ! RIP young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDfella Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 My condolences to the family. Seems to me the military needs to purge itself of such cowardly (seniors) soldiers but I suspect that won't happen. Very sad indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Time for the military to clean up their backyard. However, no doubt they already have a hole dug in the garden where they plan to bury this issue along with all the other 'bodies' that suffered a similar fate.

JAG Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 That is one of the saddest photographs I have seen for a long time. God rest his soul. It's not really relevant, and takes nothing from the chain of command's responsibility, but I wonder if we have an error in transcription, and it is Lance Corporal (LCpl) rather than Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col)?

Bangkok Ape Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 This is the reason my son will NEVER claim Thai citizenship.

oldrunner Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Why do I seriously doubt that REAL criminal action will be pursued against the killers of this young soldier. Not the first instance of brutal treatment of Army recruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thechook Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Seems like a regular occurrence in the Thai military. I wonder what the stats are for conscripts being beaten to death by their superiors. When the military isn't accountable to anyone in Thailand this will probably continue.

neeray Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Police said the assaulters will be charged with murder. Good, do it. Words are cheap. Let's see some action, not just talk.
