However ,what was needed was thousands of young common Burmese
soldiers to turn on their commanders. That would have done , even a singe regiment refusing to beat & kill the monks.
However they turned out to be a bunch of sheep.
Killer sheep....why am I not surprised

Americans ! cherish your 2nd Amendment rights!
Never let go of them....

I know, I know. At least one did. And a general too if low level.

A lot of these soldiers have been killing, raping and pillaging for a while now so (1) they don't want to give up the 'perks' and (2) if they did turn on the junta that might not be enough to save their hides when the people they've been stomping on are no longer restrained.
