I feel better now.

hmmm Its the "Army" are they not supposed to do this. Its their job!

If you cant balance your tank's at the end of the day, there's not much hope in combat.

It does not matter what the Army is trying to clarify here. Their statements can easily be distorted and read like it accused the RS/UDD of stealing the weapons.

The RS didn't steal the weapons....the dumb army jerks lost them.....!

all those seized tools of war accounted for from the past few years?

The army is watching the weapons, who is watching the army ?

Ohhh a veiled disclaimer to Lak Si ....... it wasnt us honest guvnor it was someone who nicked our weapons... no we wont comment on the military style movements and spotters but it wasnt us.... honest.....

Try looking for that picture of a gunman with a rifle hidden inside a bag and see if you can find it now - anywhere.
