rooster59 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Army chief calls for discretion in exercising rights, pointing at protesters By The Nation General Apirat Kongsompong, Army chief People should be discreet in using their rights, use polite words and respect others, a tearful Army chief General Apirat Kongsompong said on Friday (July 24). He was speaking while presiding over activities to mark His Majesty the King's birthday, adding he was concerned about protesters' remarks referring to the monarchy. "Everyone is under the royal protection regardless of nationality or religion and everyone has the right to do things," he said. "However, as many people would feel uncertainty about the protesters' impolite words, which can be seen in various media, I would like to ask people to consider thoroughly before exercising their rights and respect each other, while they should not encroach or use impolite words about other people." He advised people to study the conspiracy theory because it involved several parties, adding that many people are trying to explain the meaning of this theory in different ways. "The Army can only monitor the situation, while the government has only urged us to arrange officials to take care of protesters," he said. "The government's move to solve various issues is going well and many authorities are also providing cooperation, so if we are all united, we will be able to overcome the fragile point." He added that the government and Army still face various challenges, such as the Covid-19 pandemic. "The current situation should not repeat the political events of the past," he cautioned.

Popular Post rkidlad Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 I’m all for guys getting in touch with their sensitive side and talking about their feelings, but an army chief crying about protesters? The government and their goons’ narrative is that this is just a small group of students protesting. And here we have the head of an army of a sovereign nation crying about it. Words fail me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post holy cow cm Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 It says it all and 100% shows where things are really at and that it will never move to change as he states while crying that everyone is under a something protection. Why does he use the government and the Military as separate entities when they are totally synonymous. There is a council that controls the whole program and in reality the only way there can be a true change is if the military divides heavily. I am sure that many o many in the military probably the moral majority despise the ruling party and their old dinosaur elites BS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
