ASSK's on Burmese Army

IN making the attacks upon the men in power and Ne Win as the force behind them, it was not her intention to weaken the military or split the army.

I know a split army is against the interests of the nation...We just want what my father wanted: a professional army that understands that a really honourable army doesn't engage in politics.

My father didn't build up the Burmese army in order to oppress the people....He made many speeches where he specifically said, don't start oppressing the people just because you have weapons. You are to serve the country. You are for the country, the country is not for you.

What a great Dad and Daughter with innocent attitude? Our country had produced such talented person to help country right. At contrary, today army is doing opposite of what its founder has wanted to see for. In fact, the military is manipulated by a handful of generals rather than the whole system. Hopefully 2013 will see Burma with a new face through the democratic channels.
