snoop1130 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 NCPO shrugs off call for military reform The National Council for Peace and Order has shrugged of a call for a military reform after a committee was set up for the reform of the police force, saying the armed forces have continued to adjust themselves in line with the changing situation. The call was made by Jatuporn Prompan, chairman of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), on Monday (July 10). Concerning this matter, Col Winthai Suvaree, the NCPO spokesman, said the armed forces have continued to adjust themselves for various responsibilities which concern both military and civic actions. He said the military has increased its role in national development and continued to receive a positive feedback. Although the armed forces’ responsibilities do not allow them to be directly close to the people like other agencies, they have regularly examined themselves to make adjustments and improve their work efficiency in line with the changing environments and situation, said the NCPO spokesman. “As for the call (for the military reform) from some people, the armed forces will take it for consideration. But such a call should not be made by only a particular group of people because the majority of people may see it as a political move by those whose interests have been affected as a result of the current military action in a special situation,” he said.

ratcatcher Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 "Although the armed forces’ responsibilities do not allow them to be directly close to the people like other agencies,...' Under the current administration, I didn't think they could be any closer to the people. Their responsibilities affect people in all walks of life. You can't get any closer than tea, biscuits and attitude adjustment.................can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Loh Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Maybe a teeny weeny reform like appointment of the Army Chief based on meritocracy rather than from the Burapha faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayduke Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Reform? If you’re sitting there with stars on your shoulder…a choice place at the trough…more money than you could spend in ten lifetimes…every toy you could possibly want…why on earth would you want to reform anything? A quick check in the mirror confirms the ‘system’ is working perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainarong Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 So out dated in thinking and style it disappoints that senior commanders cannot see the forest for the tree's , mind the total rehab would need to come from the very top and that's not going to happen, as that person trained with the west and was good friends with the SAS commander, somewhere in Oz........................................

natway09 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Please, on at a time, although I doubt if any of the graft in the police reform will happen. It is endemic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
