Hello all! I attended a talk with my sister on 'Hidden Truths', which turned out to be quite interesting ka.
It went for about 3 hours to share 'facts' and 'direct experience' stories of three people, i.e. former Commander of the 2nd Army Region, Lieutenant General Boonsin Padklang; Wassana Nanuam, Military Affairs reporter ; and Ajarn Songrit Phonngern, expert on Mekong Basin.
Here are what I got and how I felt ka:
- I was very impressed with Lt. Gen. Boonsin's humble self, sharp mind, sense of humor, and touching stories including his expression of love of our country and his team.
He told us that as soon as one soldier became conscious, he asked if the army was able to take over the dispute territory. This is the sense of duty of all who've been fighting for us.
Lt. Gen was wondering if the central administrators cared enough about our national interest and motherland. He said at one fight, the army planned carefully to seize one prasat back, which could take some days. After having been in operation for only 6 hours, 'someone' called them to stop the mission and the best for the army in action was to negotiate to go on fighting for 4 nights and 5 days. Otherwise, we could have won.
- Reporters must be impartial but if it's about our own nation's security, the media must do their best to help protect our sovereignty ka.
- HS lost his left eye from a bombshell explosion and he has to go to Japan to change the eye every year, costing him $1m ...money could be from the scamming business.
- Cambodians hate black, custard apples and guava so if anyone wishes to send the fruits in a black box, it'd scare them off.
- Gen Chavalit Yongjaiyut helped train Cambodia's army to become more modernized that has made Hun Sen get highly capable soldiers by his side.
- Challenges about geographical features make it hard to use missles for specific targets so as to avoid civilians. So, comments must be made with understanding. The use of phones, pix and vdo's must be most careful not for the other end to track the exact locations. We also use this strategy to target their key persons.
A little funny story ka.....Lt. Gen. Boonsin himself turned off his phone to get an RIP from Cambodia.
A not funny story ka.....It was the first time someone called me ยาย ..... a security guard who wasn't that young at all called me so.
