This is pretty hilarious when you consider they sat still while a Military Junta overthrew its own Thai government....Then again "Thais with military experience" may have been part of that overthrow problem...so again hilarious in this context Edited March 1, 2022 by meechai 6 4 6 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RandiRona Posted March 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2022 Really?? Fighting for Ukraine?? Why dont they fight in their own country against illegal occupation by military?? I guess they did in 2010 when Junta deployed snipers on it's own people. 8 4 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post daveAustin Posted March 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2022 I dunno, commendable and I'd do the same if younger with no dependents. What makes Thais less worthy to fight for a noble cause? Comparing events in Ukraine to the soft transfer of power in Thailand? Typical Boomer tat here.

Then I saw all the recruits mowing grass and washing cars and such; being tempted or teased by Admiral/General household ladies. If I was in charge it'd be a volunteer only force. Keep that military experience in check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
