That must cost them alot.
50,000 rounds that didn't do a thing. Only wounded a few villagers.
These villagers know best. They understand the situation. One second may be normal but the next seconds might not. They have a reason to flee that could make them more secure. The best armor is to stay away from the front line.
Thailand is coward! Used sniper, Cluster bombs, poison gas ammunitons against poor cambodian soldiers...What' a cheap shot from Gen. Prayuth Chan O'Cha! Thailand can not fight like a man..??
I heard Thai soldiers left behind many M-16 ran back to the hole like a Fox!
