re: "Relatives of slain men get payouts" (BP, December 23, 2019)
At least in this case, as the compensation, miserly though it be, paid to the slain men's families attests, there is some admission of error. Perhaps there would be less of these killings of Thai citizens by the errant Thai military if the Kingdom had a smaller, professional army of well-trained, well-equipped, and professionally supported women and men who had chosen to serve their nation, rather than forced conscripts badly trained, badly equipped and poorly supported by the excess of army generals of dubious usefulness busily plotting political careers without the inconvenience of elections.
Which political party is it that has pushed for such desperately needed reform for the sake of the Thai nation?
