The Truth Will Prevail, the Rot Will Surface: Rambo and Burma

Famous Burmese proverb “The Truth Will Prevail. The Rot will surface” struck this blogger’s mind after watching the movie “Rambo” in which Sylvester Stallone went into Burma with his motto: “Live for nothing, or die for something”

Sorry for Myanmar Tat Ma Daw (Burmese Armed Forces), once famous as one of the regions toughest armies have been downgraded into a merciless immoral army that tortured and killed the innocents rather than preventing and protecting it’s people in the eyes of movie goers all over the world. Most of the scenes in this movie in-fact, reflected the actual conducts of current Burmese Army against it’s people.

However, to be fair to Burmese Army, there are some groups of patriotic soldiers who really cherished the country and its people are still within the army staying low profile.

This blogger feels that these groups may be even more than the evil forces. Perhaps, for them, this is the bad time, as their superior Generals over the Throne will be actively doing the surveillance for any signs of possible rebellion within the Army.

This blogger could understand the feeling of these good soldiers as they are blamed for the conducts of a handful of Generals whose ambition is just to stay in the power.

I feel sorry for the Burmese Army, founded by General Aung San ( Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s father), that was born together with the Burmese Independence, seems to be sinking together with the Evil Generals into the abyss of the Sea Of Sin.

This episode serves as a part of history of Burma as no one will be able turn the wheel of history in reverse.
