An emotional Thai army chief on Tuesday urged a nation in mourning over a mass shooting"not to blame the army" after a soldier gunned down at least 29 people in a rampage linked to a debt dispute with a senior officer.
The Thai army has been at pains to portray him as a rogue soldier rather than a product of the army system. "There are people who criticise the army, I urge them not to blame the army... because the army is a sacred organisation," adding"blame me - General Apirat." Jakrapanth killed his commander and the commander's mother-in-law first as he embarked on an around 17-hour shooting spree.
Senior officers often use conscripts as effective private butlers in taxpayer-funded grace and favour homes.
