Myanmar Military who gives no time to rest

When I was in the army.
I have a corporal brother whom I love as a teacher. He and I are from the same company with the headquarters.

At that time, he loved me more like a big brother than a teacher and a student.

He taught me everything I didn’t know. He has almost 17 years of military experience.
He also talked about his battle
experiences.

When the military coup and the people who protested were killed by the army, I told my teacher to join the CDM. He didn’t enter CDM either. He told me not to enter.

A soldier must obey orders. Didn’t you learn these things at the training school? Don’t think too much, he said, my buddy , will pass in due time.

In my heart, I didn’t like what he said, but I didn’t say it back anymore. If he’s angry, I’m scare.

He is not someone who likes bullying me. Even he has a habit of sometimes reprimanding him. His salary was always more than he used to spend, and he paid a lot of money for my wedding.

I once asked , Sir.. If we go to the front, if not course, if not security or moving,
one by one forces us to have no rest time.
We are not allowed to sit in the back row.
He told me that a soldier is one who is busy with work and other thoughts do not enter his head. You will know when you are a soldier.

I don’t know his answer is right or wrong. But I know that the army forces us to have no rest time. We are not allowed to sit in the back row. In fact, it is maybe to force us to not have any other thoughts.

Even if you don’t have to forces for anything, to cut 5 pieces of bamboo without needing to use it. The bamboo that we were forces to cut down was infested with lice because it was piled up on this pole. The army forces us.

How do you feel about subordinate soldiers. That is what our military personnel know best.

They taught me to obey orders
Even if we put our minds aside and recover the declining image of our army,
The hatred of the people is no longer satisfied.

So get out of this tattered organization. Let’s try to be members of the military who truly love the military.

He knows that the army is not good like my teacher.
But don’t let the habit of obeying orders become ingrained.
