SomchaiCNX Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 There are plenty of Thai born people who served in the US. One of them (wounded in Battle) is even an MP right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, its really a strange answer. Imagine if growing up in the USA I would have stated that my dream is to be Brazilian soldier but no connection to Brazil. Time to refer for psychological testing. Now if he had said astronaut that would be very different. could have been worse you had a dream to be a Thai soldier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So teaching is a dead end job full of small minded people. Seems small mindedness may be reflected in the next mirror you look into. As for the teacher in this incident it's not good and should have been done better. This is a teacher centred approach and comes as no suprise. Seems like this student was thinking a bit outside of the box. Sorry. Not allowed. You will conform. Edited March 6, 2021 by dinsdale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oznomad Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Someone better tell him that if he joins, hangs around long enough to get a passport, leaves and comes back here to live, he will be filling out US tax returns and sending money to Uncle Sam for the rest of his life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not as surprised as you, the US Army does a lot of PR to young people, including through army-developed games, such as America's Army https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America's_Army the next iteration is expected to launch soon young Thai people fascinated by weapons and the military would clearly be attracted by the advertisements put out be the US rather than looking forward to be beaten as a Thai recruit (as widely reported in Thai news) with little perspective of a career in the Thai Army. The Thai Army has some really badass jungle combat units though. Edited March 6, 2021 by tgw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtrnuno41 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Maybe the teacher was inspired by for instance this song. Addicted to clean violence as seen on the t.v. screen Not a man but just a boy and he's looking mean Never seen a corpse, not knowing how it smells It's never you who dies it's always someone else Go into the war as if you play a football game You want to become a hero so that everybody knows your name You have to puke when you see the first rotten body But it won't take long cause destruction is all you'll see (CHORUS) Into the war, strong as a man Than you want out as fast as you can But the door is locked, there's no way back Kill or be killed you have to attack What is it that you <deleted>in' fighting for? You just don't know cause you couldn't think anymore Your friends are tortured, killed in the front of your eyes It's not only friends, it's a piece of you that dies And one time you realize, you're just a <deleted> victim Nothing more than a puppet of a rotten system (CHORUS) How many soldiers you have killed you just don't know All the mothers that will cry for the sons you blow Maybe he is just as old as you Maybe he likes punkrock and has a girlfriend too It is just a game with a deadly end In the end you don't know who's your enemy or friend The leaders they will talk but won't change a thing Total <deleted>in' madness is what war you will bring!

The US government used the US military to invade lots of countries with lots of people who didn't want to be invaded and killed. If a student aspires to join such an organization then he (because most likely it is he) should think again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show a map of the world and there's a good chance the student couldn't point out the US. Maybe it's imagination, something that shouldn't be quelled by a teacher, maybe the student's a nutter, who knows. There is also nowhere in the article that age is stated. Maybe grade 10-12 where students do military cadets to try to get them into the armed forces. Like scouts in the lower years where they march around with sticks but it's still military style. What school? There are many variables but in my opinion (teaching for 17 yrs) the teacher could have done better.

Almost as big as the Thai military but not so many generals. The population was 211 million in 2019 and the military is around 344,000 with 1 year conscription.
