Our brave soldiers die in the name of defending our motherland from the invading Thai and the whole world know that and it the truth .
Thai soldiers not even know what they dying for in their consciences they think they die of defending their motherland but in reality is they die because they have been blinded and brainwash by their monarchy .
When the dusk is settle the Thai is die in the name of the invaders or in the name the criminals .
Thai government should utilize their soldiers in the productive way not use the soldiers for shooting innocent civilian or crushing peaceful protesters if Thai look back at their military in the few decades what they have been achieve accept coup and more coups Thai military hold the world record of coup makers .
Invading neighboring country is the way of life of Thai army in the pasted but not the present day Cambodia leader today not the same as Cambodia leaders in the pasted he know how to steer Cambodia from the difficult time to present day he build his career from the junior soldier to become the leader of the country and Thailand have overlook his ability .
Thailand your nightmare become reality.
