Thai villagers prepare to take position on the ground of a school after being evacuated from their villages near the frontline to safety areas in Surin province, northeastern Thailand, Friday, April 22, 2011. Thailand and Cambodia exchanged artillery and gunfire for several hours along their disputed frontier Friday in a new flare-up of their long-running conflict. It was the first skirmish reported since the two Southeast Asian countries battled for four straight days in February at the 11th century Preah Vihear temple. (AP Photo)

Manet not in uniform at the frontline yet?

Major-General Hun Manet (C), son of Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen, looks at Cambodia's Defense Ministry spokesman Chhum Socheat (R), aftera news conference at the Council of Ministers in Phnom Penh April 22, 2011. Thai and Cambodian soldiers fought with rocket-propelled grenades and guns on their disputed border on Friday in a dawn clash that killed two Thai soldiers and wounded seven in the first major flare-up since a shaky ceasefire in February. Both sides evacuated villagers and accused each other of firing first in the thick, disputed jungle around Ta Moan and Ta Krabei temples in the northeastern Thai province of Surin, about 150 km (93 miles) southwest of the 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple, which saw a deadly stand-off in February.

In our opinion, Manet should have followed the foul mouth Samusakorn example:
