12 brave military men in the photo. I expect there are some medals forthcoming.

Unless they have gold plated fake watches in those few bags we are getting the typical sack of sh.. . Again from the balony squad

[hansnl]

May I wonder why our taxes need to be spent on finding goods that are produced for sale with a lower price,

and called counterfeit because they tend to look like the overpriced stuff produced, probably, in the same factory by the same underpaid workers?

I think it is disgusting our taxes are used to pay authorities to do work for big companies.

I drink Erdinger and it doesn't come in Green Bottles.... 

You should try it sometime, if you can still afford it after paying all that tax

On reading the article and the agencies involved in the raid, I never realised that couterfeit knick knacks sold in open air stalls of Phuket were an issue of National Security!!...I feel much safer now really! 

[chickenslegs]

Army pay must be pretty good. I could swear that a couple of guys in the photo are wearing Ray-Bans.

[speedtripler]

Police were wearing Rolexs and other nice watches and gold rings and chains when I went in to pay a ticket last week.... 

[digger70]
