Interior Ministry Gives Promotion to 119 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.

Could be if you include the police and gendarmerie's. "Four years ago, in 2010, Mr. Banh announced a moratorium on the number of generals in the armed forces because of the military’s already swollen ranks. RCAF at the time had an estimated 2,200 generals—about 1,500 more than the entire U.S. armed forces, which his the biggest military in the world.".........." The U.S. Department of Defense, which has only 36 four-star generals all in active service, last year announced it would reduce even that number due to the high salaries and government-funded perks the top brass receives, in an effort to trim its budget due to the winding down of military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

This is comparing apples and oranges. They should use stats about gang leaders, not about real army generals.
