Friendly Meeting Between US and Cambodia Navy Staff

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.

As a veteran myself, I can guarantee you that they are absolutely not doing that, and are 10 x more squared away and professional than those batch of self important, rank buying, gangsters seated across from them.

But don't let me rain on a potential US bashing opportunity. Seems like a favorite pastime on CEO.

Please chill out. You posted about 'bitch resting face' and thats ok (even thought it was quite funny, it's a joke right ?), but a similar joke about the US guys texting their wives is "US bashing". Go figure. HUMOUR. :salut: Must be a cultural difference I guess.

More important than who's producing what kind of vibe is the newspaper article itself. A good analyst knows what. isn't. discussed may be more important than what is said. This report touches on neither and reads like low level propaganda.

Given the history of this country I am inclined to think that they are veterans as well, with or without tatoos.

Isn't that the whole point of discussing (Cambodia) news and how it's presented ? In this case I thought the photos showed quite well what the text didn't say. The pretended friendship is just that, pretend.

I expect more insight than an analysis of body language, which by the way was tactfully ignored in the. article. Yes the photo reveals what. but not why. If I were the Officer in Charge of the SE Asian desk, my reaction would be "so what!"

Guys here were actually king of wondering why they would have to waste their time with a bunch of tatooed emnlisted hobos. No wonder they were slightly bored. Protocol, perhaps. Oh no not you guys... eh.
