webfact Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Abhisit stripped of military record The Nation BANGKOK: -- The Defence Ministry yesterday revoked Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva's commission, removed his rank and expunged his records as if he had never served in the military. According to the order, the commission given to Abhisit in 1987 as instructor at the Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy was unlawful because he had supplied forged documents to exempt him from Army conscription. Abhisit's rank as a sub-lieutenant granted in 1988 was deemed unlawful as well. The ministerial order also deprives Abhisit of any benefits he might receive from his military service. -- The Nation 2013-01-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Someone should tell the man pulling the strings that Abhisit is no longer the PM. I guess li'l sis forgot to mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post firestar Posted January 3, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2013 Of course it's fair. When the commission set up to inquire about Suvarnabhumi (which the junta had used to justify the coup) couldn't find anything on Thaksin then move on looking for anything else finally finding what a diplomat described as a misdemeanor it was all perfectly fair. What's so different now? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Interesting that it is the minestry of defence that has done this and not the army. Sure I read some time back that the army had investigated Khun A many years ago and found nothing wrong. Counldnt possibly be political could it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post submaniac Posted January 3, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2013 Forging documents about military conscription=bad. You get stripped of military rank. Shooting policeman in the head during nightclub dispute=not bad. You get appointed a supervising police officer. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Mr. Abhisit, he volunteered for his service. Yep. He got a job as a police officer. Then went on to become a convicted criminal on the run. Also I think that Abhisit volunteered for service as well. Just at a different time. Hence his serving as a lecturer. sent from my Q6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't think of a better person to begin with....bravo! Frankly, Abhisit should resign as an MP for this, it's really a scandal and a disgrace.
