The military run the country in Thailand 500N.
The politicians run it here.
It will be very interesting to see what transpires
They might run the country but they don't run the mil !
When it comes to certain things in the mil, the "sacred cows" as one name that has been used, pollies often find it is easier to let things be than rock the boat. Especially when they spend all those lovely dollars on toys that pollies like having photos taken next to !
And the military is very much in Abbott's good books at the moment
having made him look good on a number of occasions.
