Alright,4 thais captured but only one made it to Sieam Reap. They all were so critically wounded before the capture,they died on the way. So one by one, Khmer soldier threw the corps out of the truck.
Kasit can come back to Sieam Reap to retrieve those bodies if he wants to.
Nah! it's only my bad test joke. I got to see the pictures b4 I believe any propaganda.
There shouldn't be anything funny about someone died, whether from the Thais or from the Khmer side. Human life is very precious. Imagine family members who have their love one died in war or in sickness. The emotional pain will take a heavy toll on them. Thailand internal political chaos is leading to this fighting. The PAD and other associates want Thai government to take a tough and aggressive stance against little weak Cambodia. Basically, those delusional fools wanted the Thai governemnt to order the Thai military to attack and invade the so-called disputed territory and Preah Vihear inside Cambodia. Obviously, Cambodia wasn't as weak as Thailand assumed. Never underestimate your enemy. The result of this tough and aggressive stance brought wars and lives lost. The lost is much more greater for Thailand. It will have a lot of explaining to do. Remember, most fighting was done inside Cambodia, the 4.6km disputed area to be exact. Cambodia didn't advance forward to further capturing territory inside Thailand. They could have done that but they didn't because Cambodia is playing by the rule, unlike Thailand. Cambodian want to live in peace but Thailand didn't think so and that is why things became what it is today.
11:49 PM ,I'm sorry for my being carry away, you're absolutely right I shouldn't came up with silly joke at all. I agree with every points you made except the words 4.6 km2 disputed area. Sure you used word so-called disputed territory before you slid into it.
We never have disputed land until Thai used this word to create confusion.Can you come up with any attribute for this land.I thought of contested land but that's not right either,attempted rob land by the Thais would be more correct in my opinion.
