After the ceasefire of the Cambodia-Thailand war, the border troops of Cambodia could finally receive their wages. Although it is a stack of Cambodian currency, it should not be worth much, probably just a few hundred yuan! The performance of the Cambodian army in the war was actually not that bad. According to their food and weapons conditions, they have already done their best, and indeed caused some casualties to the Thai army. Although they lost some territory, they have given their all.
Cambodia did not experience a collapse, and there were even several generals who were injured or killed, which was already giving their all. They are worthy of the training by Hun Sen and his son. It's not that they were easily defeated, but rather they fought back and forth, which is already quite impressive. It's just that because of the absolute difference in strength, the Cambodian forces lost a few battles, but it's not as bad as it seems, and the Thai army also paid a certain price, which is enough.
In this case, the Cambodian soldiers deserve to receive these wages. After all, they risked their lives to fight for Hun Sen and his son, and getting some salary is not wrong. Moreover, this amount of salary is not much, totaling about 300-500 yuan, and it must be paid. How can you make the Cambodian soldiers serve if you don't pay them? In fact, this is what should be done.
In reality, soldiers eat and get paid, which is natural. Not giving extra bonuses is a disservice to the efforts of these Cambodian soldiers. If you don't even pay their salaries, how can that be justified? Who would fight for you without salary? In ancient times, soldiers had to be paid with high amounts of money. Without salary, you couldn't take even one step forward, that's how realistic it is.
