| Prime Minister Hun Sen awarded medals to 22 Vietnamese soldiers, ranging in rank from captain to colonel, in recognition of their role in providing technical and military hardware support to Unit 70 of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF), according to a document signed by the prime minister and dated July 2008. The document, obtained by the Post, said the medal is known as the sahametrei. ----------------------------------------- Khmerization's comments: Unit 70 of the RCAF is Hun Sen's bodyguard unit which is based at his Toul Krasaing Home in Takhmao. This has reinforced the claims that he has always been protected by the Vietnamese army. During the 1997 coup, there were reports that some units of the Vietnamese army were involved in some ways in the fighting. |
