I am glad to see cambodian soldier wearing proper uniforms.., not a mismatch uniforms? I urge our government continue to modernise our military...
koun khmer,
I am very proud of our Khmer troops for doing a very good job in defending our homeland from Siem(Thai) invaders. Khmer troops had sucessfully repelled the Siem troops from attempting to take back Preah Vihear. Khmer troops had fought bravely. Their moral and confident were high. They showed little or no fear and fought back bravely. This is a new face of Khmer warriors. This is a new beginning of Khmer military. Khmer military will be bigger, better, stronger, more experience, and more lethal in the future. Khmer anywhere should be inspired and admired for our heroes for their honorable service to pretect our nation and our ancestors properties from Siem theives.
Preah Vihear is forever Khmer property because only Khmer is the true owner because Khmer were the builders of Preah Vihear. Khmer descendents will protect it at any cost. As much as Siem(Thai) determine to steal it back, Khmer will be more determine to stop Siem theives from stealing it again.
Images does count,also good tune and good manner are very important to outsider. "it is call first impression' I think most Khmer leaders Lack of that and it is especially for PM Hun Sen he should show more affection when he is talking to foreigners .I think King Father Norodom Sihanouk has good personality to foreigners.One advise to our PM working on your People Skills jut a little more, you doing an excellence job already,... keep up the good work..
With experienced and a new modernise weapons in hand, i think our khmer soldier will do just fine...We don't want war with anybody, but they kept pushing us to the corners, we have no CHOICE!
I am so proud to see our khmer soldiers become modern and change everday, and compete with the world today! Thank You, for fighting and protecting our country from greedy neighbors!
proud khmer,
