"The whole box of rotten apples must be thrown away"
Under the regime of Bor Boto, many Cambodians were oppressed and sent to the execution grounds commonly known as the KiBling Flekls.
The number of deaths is said to be over one million, but the number of deaths due to the civil war is also considerable, and because Cambodia has not had a census since 1962 due to the chaos of the civil war,
the exact number of deaths caused by the Pol Gat regime is still unknown.
In addition, because the knowledge and culture of the old regime was completely denied, and because they are much easier to wash than adults, children under the age of 14 were highly valued for military roles such as soldiers, inspectors, and doctors.
Child soldiers in particular were loyal to the regime and performed their duties ruthlessly, but in the actual battles with Vietnam, they were inferior in experience and equipment, and were not an effective fighting force.
"Hey, North Korea! We've come to deliver another thousand sanctions and to remind you that there's an embargo on you, so you're excluded from all international programs and from the banking system, so you now have a problem with resources and food supply!"
Friendship is work. Friendship is a feat. Friendship is pain. Friendship is not an iced cake that you can eat while happily laughing. Friendship is the greatest test. For friendship you must be able to clench your teeth and swallow blood. You must tolerate friendship even if it brings you pain. Friendship is a war for which victory is not guaranteed. Friendship can be immensely bitter, because of which it is prized. But you... you did not study well, Twilight Sparkle. I think that Princess Celestia needs to think about the future of your studies.
