No need for foreign troopsIs a war breaking out nearby? Considering the situation, common sense would demand that military exercises be postponed. The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) revealed on Monday that a special flight had landed at U-Tapao airport in Rayong carrying 71 US soldiers from Guam. Will it shoulder the consequences if a new cluster of infections occurs which demands more restrictions and damages the economy? Bringing foreign troops in during an outbreak carries far too high a risk for the army to take.
