Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Chinese Armed Forces of Cambodia

Post by SINUS »

I sit near Orange, I see that a military vehicle with the numbers of the Royal Army of Cambodia is parked and the Chinese in shorts come out of it.
How do these people relate to the Cambodian Armed Forces, I wonder?

I can't make out which branch he is in,
but he seems to have been promoted from major-general to brigadier-general between these two photographs being taken,

CRP nationals have been a part of government for at least 25+ years and probably with military titles.

I know of one who was in a section of the government had his own bodyguards and carried a legal firearm. That was about 20 odd years ago.

What's the problem in this case for expats living in Cambodia?
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life. :facepalm:

Not really an apt example. It's my understanding that the United States in general does not have its military members wear the uniforms of and flag/rank insignia of the host countries that invite them to be a presence therein.
