He shot her and then drove about 15km with the corpse in the passenger seat. That's a bit freaky.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Captain is 3 stripes.. 4 would be major?
I think once you go above major it’s 3 gold stripes and 1 white stripe for Lt. Colonel and then 2 white stripe + 3 gold for full Colonel.


You know I think I could’ve googled this and posted the image faster than type all that out. :(

She was probably screaming in his ear about some shit before he finally went, "Fuck it..."
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

Major, Colonel, General......I guess I shouldn't be a stickler.......it's not like a Cambodian wearing any of those ranks could lead a platoon out of a wet paper bag anyway.

The bit that concerns me is ,,, there are another ten thousand cops and military guys wandering around out there with guns and pissed off with their wife's . Seems to be a common occurrence lately.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
