[Op-Ed] An army’s discipline is measured not by its press releases, but by how it treats civilians. In Pursat, Banteay Meanchey, and Oddar Meanchey provinces, the conduct of Thai armed forces has laid bare a troubling truth: this is no longer the behaviour of a professional military, but of a force operating without moral restraint and becoming robbers.

The invading Thai soldiers stole motorbikes, cattle, and property from Cambodian citizens, a violation of the law that Thais have been known to commit theft since their ancestors.
Thai soldiers opened fire on civilians in Prey Chan village, Ou Beychoan commune, Ou Chrov district, Banteay Meanchey province, at around 4pm, injuring five civilians, according to preliminary information from local authorities.

🚨BREAKING: Trump Consultant Michael B Alfaro to Receive Hero’s Welcome After Exposing Thai Aggression 🚨
Two Cambodian-American communities in North Carolina and South Carolina are preparing to welcome Michael B. Alfaro home as a hero at Columbia Airport after his courageous mission in Cambodia.
Michael, a Trump consultant and diplomatic liaison, flew to Cambodia after President Donald J. Trump warned both Cambodia and Thailand that if war continued, they would face devastating tariff consequences. That ultimatum forced a ceasefire and brought both sides to the table for peace talks.
On the ground, Michael met with Cambodia’s top leadership and reported from the border where he witnessed families displaced, schools and temples destroyed, and 18 Cambodian soldiers kidnapped by Thai forces still being held in captivity.
His livestream drew more than 9 million viewers in one hour — exposing barbed wire fences, destroyed homes, and children forced to live in fear. The Thai government has since launched a propaganda campaign against him and has gone so far as to call on Thai nationals in South Carolina to harm him when he returns.
Law enforcement and the South Carolina Attorney General’s office have been briefed to ensure Michael’s safety as Cambodian-Americans gather to honor his bravery. In early September, the Cambodian community in America will present a Champion Trophy to Michael B. Alfaro and Gary Franchi for exposing the truth of Thailand’s invasion and standing with the people of Cambodia.
This is history in the making. The world is watching.

Michael B. Barry - American news correspondent based at the White House:
“Cambodia’s choice to pursue peace over war—despite immense challenges—speaks volumes about its leadership and commitment to progress. We discussed the nation’s recovery, U.S. relations, the Thai border ceasefire, and the call to nominate President Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.”
A powerful conversation I’m proud to share. 🇰🇭🇺🇸
