Khun Commee #3, these brave soldiers deserve to be led by a more competent leadership in the Military and the Govt. Instead, the Govt and the Military only worry about playing politics, while they are fighting blind by walking into ambush after ambush only to be slaughtered.

Khun Txapi #2, you are kidding, right? TS' decision to replace his ill-conceived strategy with the previous proven one has singlehandedly contributed to the new beginning of the Deep Southern insurgency. And it is worsening by the day, as we have been witnessing it. If he decided to leave the Deep Southern strategy unchanged, the insurgents wouldn't have any opportunity to infiltrate the region and launch their offensive at all. To them, TS is an "Allah's sent," who gave them everything they need, like opportunity, and motive, in order to relaunch their insurgency.

Yingluck needs to release the military and let them clean up the muslim scurge in the South just like her brother did.

they may have aimed at the cops, but I am sure they are missing no sleep over hurting other people, they are causing fear, which is their goal
