It's been 77 years. Since Burma's independence hero was gunned down in a hail of machine gun fire. The biggest issues remain the same in the country - ethnic strife and division along with building the proper political institutions for an independent Burma. The military Aung San founded is nowhere near his vision of what it's supposed to be - the liberator of the country. Instead, by merging with the Colonial Army built by the British and using the infrastructure of that colonizing military organization and hanging onto its privileged position within the former colonial state, that militia founded by Aung San has become the colonizer of the country.
