Next time if you see a Siem using a sling shot, I would suggest our soldier would use a blow dart gun with a poison tipped toward his neck area. And video taped with a video phone and put on Youtube. This would definitely guarantee an oscar nomination.
12:20 PM, agree.Thai troops are taunting and provoking a fight because they are stronger militarily. it is good that Cambodian troops have shown the utmost restraint to these provocations. i also suggest that Cambodian troops should videotape every Thai move and provocation for evidences.
Don't forget to record the dead Thai
soldiers too and post it on youtube so we can see.
Battalion#41 illegally logging...Gen. Nak Vong must bring those crooke to punish...
