Army in denial
News, Postbag, Published on 12/10/2020
» I get the feeling that the first words in the army's manual for dealing with sticky situations are "deny, deny, deny". Admitting to mistakes is a manly, brave, adult thing to do, so the fact the army almost always denies and refuses to admit to a mistake even when they are caught with their hands in the cookie jar makes me think that the army is pretty much composed only of boys.

» Re: "Nida poll a wake-up call", (Editorial, Sept 29), I think if it is incumbent upon veteran politicians and Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha "to overhaul the system and show us democracy will be a long lasting solution for the country" we will be waiting a long, long time. In case you haven't noticed, this is a selfish, self-righteous group who think they are entitled to their power by virtue of their seniority/longevity and you'd best learn your place or leave this country. They have no intention of sharing their power with anyone but themselves and probably will be in power until they die.

General wealthiness

» Reading the Defence Forces chief's statement, I am struck by how selfless and self-sacrificing he is trying to make army officers sound and then I remember all the profitable businesses that army officers have been involved in and I wonder whether any of these businesses are now army-free or army-lite as the army chief promised shortly after a soldier went berserk and killed a lot of innocent people because the thought he was being cheated in a land deal by his commanding office.
