Counting Cambodia's Generals...

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Often, in reality, an individual three star has far more pull and power than many of these shiny four star flashes.

The hard core, thru the ranks, genuine generals are revered, and their will has much more force than most.
Besides, they are usually the commanders on the ground and have almost total control of the turf.
Can't say that for many 4 stars.

One 3 star i know is in fact one of the Vice Commanders in Chief of the whole RCAF
and the most powerful military Kh bull i have yet come across.
Almost a deity, not only to his troops on the northern frontier - rice farmers to PM, everybody reveres him.
He reckons he wouldn't be a 4 star for quids.
