Military leaders cheer on Prayuth

Military top brass and the police chief on Thursday met for lunch with Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha, a move seen as showing moral support for the army chief in the wake of the heavy criticism from the yellow-shirt movement of his position on the legal battle with Cambodia over Preah Vihear.

    It's well deserved, isn't it? Great results in the South and on the cambodian border. Fantastic Zeppelin strategy and GT200 bomb detectors...

    C'mon guys.

    Arm force vs. ordinary guys.

    Prayuth is a grown man. This act is not praised by ordinary folks, we don't carry guns.

    You guys are our last hope, don't tanish your own reputation. Ordinary folks take this as an act of " Bullying " .

    Think !
