The military draft evokes fear in almost every young man in Thailand, but some say they fear their military training more than war. Amnesty International has documented acts of physical, mental and sexual abuse during Thailand's military hazing. We hear about one family whose son died during a hazing incident, and why they're demanding justice.In this episode:Scott Heidler (@ScottHeidler), Al Jazeera journalist in Bangkok; Ming Yu Hah, Deputy Director, Amnesty InternationalConnect with The Take: Twitter (@ajthetake), Instagram (@ajthetake) and Facebook (@TheTakePod)
