We should put those 20 dead siam pictures in the mainstream media to show the world that the bare foot soldiers never lies
I think both sides had suffered high casualty, but the Cambodian claims are not independently verified, so it's not credible. During the fighting on 4-7 Feb, Deum Ampil quoted Gen. Chea Dara as saying that 32 Thai soldiers were killed, but no one or no evidences to back up that claim. At the end, people only believed that the Thai claim only one Thai soldier was killed.
It is a modern day even the mobile phone can take pictures why not take picture put in front page of majors newspapers .
