i think after this conflict, the borderline all over the rest of cambodia will be defined so so more blurry boundary lines like this. if unclear or undemarcated, this kind of problem won't go away. again, the 1907 treaty map must be used for this as that is the only map that cambodia will work with thailand, and not the unilateral maps that the thai used in their advantage. remember the 1907 treaty was officiall, despite it was a century old. a century old is irrelevant, it was the official treaty that signed and agreed by law by both countries then, and it will always be the law. if thailand decided to go or undo this law on their own free will or their own terms, don't expect cambodia to agree or make concession to thailand about it. the UN needs to use the law, not the thai's emotional and unilateral used of their own maps at the expense of cambodia's sovereignty!!!!!
So they don't tie up the arrested soldiers? Just have them sitting next to them?
Khmer soldiers are too nice.
After they killed two of our own soldiers, we still let them sit freely, sit side by side like friends and feed them meals. Now who is the aggressor? Will they do the same if we were captured?
These are not deserve the Thai soldiers. They don't shot, but drop down guns and let enemies to arrest. Thai will not need these coward people. Let enemy to jail and feed them rather than waste Thai fund.
Our Thai soldiers are not coward like this. After freely, they will be stopped from army. They realy disgrace our Thai King's honour.
