military in law enforcement is a bad idea; not their training; gambling in thailand would be legal if they could tax it; government lottery is the number 1 cash cow for them; hypocritical

I was unaware that martial law had been introduced.

When soldiers are involved in raids, a cynic might think the boys in green are making the moves on the boys in browns turf.

 

The police involved were more than likely the operators of the gambling den, rather than gambling there.
