The Shan State Army (SAS) 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.

  • sadly, many of the tribal people in burma dont enjoy being raped or killed, so i felt compeled to help. perhaps it is different in your country, but most shan people dont enjoy being murdered or raped. so please understand that some cultures are different.

  • sorry does this mean you support than shwe or just that you think the fight is hopeless?

  • Hmm. First off, they dont grow opium, they grow a type of poppy flower that they extract the resin from to make the opium. Second, holy third world!

  • are you joking? obviously they grow opium popies but they refine the opium right there in slave villages. why would you even bother to point out such a small and insignificant semantic difference? it doesnt change anyone's life that they are "growing" poppies but "refining" opium."

  • To Brooklyn Monk:

    Don't let people talk you down, you're doing the right thing by letting people know what's going on with innocents being slaughtered.

    To people who understand right and wrong:

    To know a grave crime is being committed against the innocent and doing nothing about is also guilty of the same crime. Please don't judge others harshly for doing what they believe is right.

    Sincerely,

    Jason C.
