There are no US military bases in Thailand since just after the Vietnam War.  They come for exercises then leave, no bases. 

 What sort of exercises ?

Earn where? Invading sovereign countries and killing civilians? 

Taking pot shots at goat herders in the Middle East.

Very cute pink ribbon medal. Wonder if he has his elevator shoes on as well.

Why can't they do Cobra Gold in the USA ?

The pink ribbon medal is probably to commemorate the great contribution the Thai military made to defend their country against foreign invaders during WW2.  Can't quite make out what the silver medal is....could it be a silver dummy???

The Thai General looks very impressive with his decorations, but the American has more scrambled eggs on his cap.

Handshake, check; warm embrace, check; kiss both cheeks, check. Covid, check!

I confirm the sad truth, but the world doesn't need militaries any longer.

He did, he opened fire at 'nation haters'. Footage can be found online. Maybe that's where he got some medals for, in addition to medals for having polished shoes and finishing his breakfast.
