Seeing stars: Another 84 generals minted by R Cambodian AF

Featured Replies

The government has approved yet another round of mass military promotions, elevating 84 officers to brigadier general, 43 to major general and five to lieutenant general.

 

The promotions were announced in the January and February editions of the Royal Book and add to the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces’ already-bloated upper echelons, which are believed to have as many as 3,000 generals.

 

Reached yesterday by phone, Defence Minister Tea Banh defended the promotions, despite having himself frozen them in 2011 while acknowledging there was a gap between some officers rank and experiences.

ThaiVisa, c'est aussi en français

ThaiVisa, it's also in French

Reading this I think things are way beyond bloated. Kind of reminds me of the fat guy in the movie Dune

To many chiefs and not enough Indians. 

Is it posssible that the RCAF (Cambodian) even have 84 airplanes?  Well having checked, they have 5 transport planes and 21 helicopters.  I guess family members of the ruling elite need jobs.

In the US Army there are 315 active duty Generals with 490,326 active duty personnel or 1557 to 1.In the Cambodian Armed Forces there were as of October 2016 1200 Generals with 125,000 armed forces personnel.  or with the new 84 Generals it is 97 to one. Woe is the private in this army.
