Ronin Warriors
Because of his comments, the commander-in-chief of the Thai army, General Anupong Paochinda, removed Khattiya from his post in the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) and reassigned him as the army's aerobics instructor. Khattiya, humiliated by the transfer, retorted that he had prepared a dance called the "throwing-a-hand-grenade dance". Khattiya organised the "Ronin Warriors", a group of a few dozen armed militants to fight against Yellow Shirts. He boasted of his fighters terrorising the protesters using M79 grenade launchers, killing one PAD guard and injuring 40.
