re: "Future Forward Party wants to 'reform' military" (BP, February 1)
Dear editor,
Future Forward is to be commended for openly identifying a root cause, admittedly among others, of persistent social and political ills besetting Thailand. Consistent with the recent Transparency International report's explicit recognition of the correlation between it and autocracy, this must include the endemic corruption of decades.
What Thailand needs is a small, professional military of women and men duty bound to defend the nation. What it has never needed is an army of generals plotting their political careers at the expense of the Thai nation.
