Food for army thoughtThe Thai army only has itself to blame for failing to reveal the truth clearly and consistently regarding the allegation that it supplied rice to Myanmar's armed forces. Last weekend, however, media reports emerged which claimed that the Thai army had supplied 700 sacks of rice to Myanmar's army units via the border in Sop Moei district of Mae Hong Son. The accusation was certainly damaging to the Thai army. In a statement quoted by Reuters, Maj Gen Amnat said the Thai army was not supplying the Myanmar army and there had been no contact from the Myanmar army requesting help or demanding any assistance. Are they provisions that Myanmar's army asked us to send through?
