Martial Arts Odyssey: Training With Shan State Army (Part 1)

The Shan State Army (SSA) is one of the ethnic rebel armies fighting against the repressive government of Burma. In the movie "Rambo IIII," Sylvester Stallone pretends to go inside Burma and fight along side one of the ethnic armies. Antonio Graceffo did it for real.

The Shan are a unique ethnic group, who have their own language, culture, and martial arts. They were independent for centuries, but are now waging a defensive war against the Burmese forces (SPDC) who use rape, torture, and terror as weapons to control and annihilate Buurma's many ethnic minority people. Shan dream of a day when their children can live in peace in a free country, called Shanland.

Is the SSA looking for aid from foreign military type from what you have seen in your tour over there or are they being self relient on themselves.

Also thank you for training SSA? Also why not ask US veterans of Green Berets or Army Rangers to trained SSA, KNU, ALP, CNF, KNO, & KNPP. Also ask talk to people that are arms dealer. Also supply Military Camouflage like Woodland MARPAT, Multicam, CADPAT (Canada), SAF Woodland Digital Camouflage (Singapore), RTA Digital Woodland (Thailand), & SEDENA Type B (Mexico) to 6 group. Also tell all 6 group to dig up for Rubies so they could buy weapons form arms dealer who land down a Russian IL-76.

since you obviously know absolutely nothing about this war, the buddhist karen faction is called The Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) and they are OFFICIALLY that means they say it, i say it, SPDC says, everyone agrees (except you) they are officially classified as a ceasefire army, which, by definition, means they are still under arms but are not fighting the SPDC. they work for the SPDC.

[kasunator]

i asked about the social and political reasons for the buddhist karen to become drug runners, it seems u are good at labeling them,
