jaidam Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 At the end of the day, Yuthasak's audio revelations probably didn't do much for his bosses aspiration to take over the CPB. With that said, is there anybody left in Thailand that doesn't want to see him fired? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimamey Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I wonder if there was any conversation with Army Chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha and other high-ranking soldiers about some of their colleagues shooting innocent people in 2010? Is Gen Yuthasak Sasiprapa the one who used to be Defence Minister a while back and was brought in when the overworked PM decided to be Defence Minister as well as PM so he could be a link between her and the military? I've not heard about this rumour but it would seem strange if it's true. Does the rumour include any reason for him wanting to resign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GentlemanJim Posted August 17, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) After the performance, the Prime Minister praised the army of its strong potential, while placing her emphasis on the army’s priority to protect the nation. Yet in 2010 when the Army has done nothing more than try and protect the Nation from a group of red terrorist thugs and their political leaders everyone is guilty of genocide!! How does the Defence Minister suggest an Army protects the Nation from armed terrorists who are being incited to murder and arson? Armed terrorists who are shooting bullets, RPG's and other munitions at the Army. What orders would the Defence Minister give?...........Throw jasmine flowers at the gunmen maybe? Of course it is dangerous to jump to conclusions, she could of course mean that the Army's duty is to protect one of the two main English Language newspapers in Thailand................couldn't she?

Siripon Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 He should have fallen on his sword weeks ago to apologise to his lordship for revealing the dastardly plan to come back a free man, but that was too near the last reshuffle. I wonder which will happen first, Yuttasak's resignation or Man U's first loss of the season? My husband says the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A normal person wouldn't bother reading posts that they don't find amusing, as in this case. Be careful judging yourself as "normal" - seek help ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, nobody with a brain........... think about your post. Get well soon!

You sound like a whinger and hater. Missed you coffee this morning? On a serious note, why do you chastise others on a forum, that you admit is not important, in the same way you accuse them of chastising your beloved Thailand? Hypocrisy much? Can't you be positive in your criticism? You know, lead by example? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johntren Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 "Thailand has always been corrupt...." My Gad, sir, are you mad? What an astonishing thing to say! I would like to stress to everybody reading this thread (and I do mean everybody) how much I dislike this foul libel. Extraordinary! Quite untrue, of course. If anyone (and I do mean ANYONE) reading this post should think for one moment that I might applaud or 'like' or agree with the above, then please note that I don't.

I believe the expression goes "If you can't handle the heat, then get out of the kitchen." Maybe you are the only one having problems with these discussions. I find them very amusing and informative. Maybe you should find something else to occupy your time if it bothers you so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are 100% correct, Brian. I mean about nobody with a brain listening to us. But you must have been, because you commented on us whingers and haters making bizarre comments. GentlemanJim's comment #9 was spot on, wish I had written that.

Are you all seriously trying to destroy, your host own country? That question directed at any member of the present malad ministration might have been more to the point. Many of the comments and policies emanating from Parliament these days are totally bizarre. Nobody with a brain would be making such statements such as we hear on a daily basis. Granted, all expats who enjoy the friendly ( and sometimes not so) banter on this forum know that their voice is mute, but still enjoy the circus. You spoil your rant by referring to us as drunken misogynists. Try and get off your high horse and give it a drink of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagwan Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I loved the bit about the Army giving a demonstration of modern armaments. What happened to the 30 year old Swiss tanks? Has the Army any equipment that wasn't pensioned off by the armies of other countries? It is noteworthy that the Air Force didn't give any demonstrations. In the absence from my view of any aircraft crashes lately I assume they've bent all the stuff they had by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
