By 'eck, absolutely hit-the-nail-on-the-head post there, Briggsy.

CLOD, if you want to see how the Thai army coped in a real war situation, I suggest you do some searches regarding World War II, and the Japanese. Enlightening stuff.

Interestingly we seem to be pretty unanimous in our response to this opinion-piece, peace in our times, at least on the pages of TV ?

Army is the wrong word for this lot.

Good at jackbooting their own people, is as far as it goes.

Love to see em in some real action.

LOL - wouldn't that be a sight!!! My bet is they would do what they do best i.e. RUN away and hide. Where's the love of the country and the beautiful Thai people? Not to be see near the rich and powerful I fear. The Thai people deserve better.
