The Myanma Tatmadaw (Burmese Army) was often asked by the people that whose army it is? In fact, the late hero General Aung San set up the Army and trained them with highly noble attitudes. To be the sons of the people, only to be loyal to the people, to protect the people and to serve the country. Tatmadaw personals were treated as favorites of the people after the independence time.

But after 1962, the late dictator General Ne Win manipulated the Myanma Tatmadaw as his personal army to suppress the people, trained them to be loyal and serve only to him. He abused the army and conquered the whole country and the people. There are times people sees the army personals as brutal aggressors.
The late General Saw Maung did the same and now General Than Shwe doing the same.
Nobody cared when both General Ne Win and General Saw Maung died under house arrest by their own army. They had luxurious life while they were in power but people just gave them rotten names when they were out of powers. Where is the vestige of General Ne Win? Where is the monument of General Ne Win which he once dreamed of?
Where are the remains of General Saw Maung? What is his good memorial?

Nobody cares of their families and close colleagues were sent to jail serving long prison terms. Does anybody cares how abouts of Ne Win's daughter Khin Sandar Win today? Nobody asking for her release. Heard she is insane at her home.

Sacked Prime Minister General Khin Nyunt is waiting to die under house arrest too. His once powerful Military Intelligence Executives are in jail like chickens all over the country, serving long prison terms together with the oppositions they have sent to jail.

Those incidents confirmed Burma is just going around and around atrocious militarism since 1962. Not a step to Socialism or Multi Party System or Market Oriented Economy system. Burma is going no where under militarism. Millions of people starved, millions died, thousands were jailed, thousands of families broken, but the Dictator and a few military top brasses enjoying the luxurious life. Dancing on the tombs of the people, wearing big diamonds, driving big cars and living in big houses with big business opportunities.

DASSK often ask a question but they never answer, who's army it is, Aung San's or Nay Win's?
It is a shame to be a follower of Burmese dictator Ne Win what ever the price is.
