Hun Sen is trying to groom his sons to be the next military leaders of Cambodia so his powers will be assured.
Hun Manet will be Defense Minister and Hun Many will Commander in Chief of the army in the future.
Hun Manet graduated from prestigious university and I was wondering how good is this guy to defend khmers/Thai border issue. Base on his degrees, he would easily to solve this problem with Thai. How more longer will it takes to solve this issue? This is sounding like pain in the ass.
Hun sen Try to do the same NORTH KOREAN same father as the same sons
Just because some other people get to higher places that you could never, it's not a reason for contempt. Be proud of other Khmer that achieve prestigious education and position.
8:51 PM, I agree with you. But these two got their higher education not because they worked hard for it. They got scholarship to study at Westpoint because they are they the sons of a prime minister. They are not smarter than any Khmer kids. There are smart Khmer kids from around the country but because they are poor and they don't have a father who has influence to get their children nominated to study at Wespoint, that's why they have no chance to study at Wespoint like these two Huns..
To study at Westpoint you have to be nominated by American politicians or U.S ambassador. Hun Sen must have pushed it very hard to get his sons nominated by one of the U.S politicians or U.S Ambassador in Phnom Penh.
Got to say that the US is smart. They know that they can't really reign in Hun Sen. But by offering free military training and education to the younger Huns, they will likely have allies or at least political influence in the future. Long term thinking and far sight is the name of the game. Be Smart.
I must say the kid looks more like his mother than his father, lighter complexion. Hun Manet is blood-stain free for now. I can't accuse him of anything, at least not yet. Damn..that's some fast promotion, he's already a one star general in his late 20's or maybe early 30's. He's probably be a 10 stars general by the time he is his father age.
Anyway, I would like see Hun Manet and Hun Many get more of their educations in the east as well. Variety of knowledges help balance ones perception.
In 9:16 am, I meant to say "rein" not "reign".
Yes, education, training, exposure, etc are all good for one's perception and they help in critical decision making. Especially learning and knowing one's enemy tactics and anticipate their moves. There is a saying, keep your friends close, but keep your enemy even closer. So you know what are their intentions are just by looking into their eyes.
is that what hun sen do 1049?? the damn yuon are keeping us even closer!!!!!!they keep on comeing to srok khmer and passing out gifts to the poor khmer at tonle sap areas..why don't they help the khmer krom???? i hate them yuon 10000000000000....... times. if i have the power,i will wipe them off the map beyond an extinction of the dinosuars!!!!!!
