Amazing what a border skirmish can cost you

After Thailand and Cambodia traded shots in a border clash, the Cambodian government decided to double it's military budget, because, y'know, rickshaws are expensive:

Cambodia will double its military budget next year to about 500 million dollars following a deadly firefight with Thailand at their disputed border this month, a lawmaker said Wednesday.
Parliament is set to approve the new military budget in a session in early November, said Cheam Yeap, head of the parliament's finance commission.
