Michael Yon<\/a>\u00a0recently posted an article about the war in Burma<\/a>. I will admit that I was not really aware that there was a war in Burma, and when I googled it, there was not much available. The New Republic<\/a>\u00a0posted an article on May 21, but that was pretty much all I could find.<\/p>\n

The war in Burma is a civil war that has been going on for 63 years. The post at Michael Yon’s website has pictures of what is currently happening. This is one of the pictures from Michael’s website:<\/p>\n

Michael talks about the group in the picture:<\/p>\n

In Thailand<\/a>, I continue to come into contact with a group called Free Burma Rangers<\/a> [FBR], who are based in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai.\u00a0 FBR is an American faith-based operation operated by Dave Eubank, a former Army Ranger and Special Forces officer.\u00a0 In these parts, Eubank is something of a living-legend.\u00a0 He speaks English, Thai and Karen and has spent years inside Burma.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I often bump up against his organization.\u00a0\u00a0 It has a solid feel.\u00a0 FBR seems on the surface and from all accounts to consist of serious people doing important work: training guerrillas in medicine, reconnaissance and other military matters, while documenting endless war crimes inside of Burma.\u00a0 FBR receives no help, to my knowledge, from the Thai or US governments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please follow the links to both articles about this war. It does seem odd that no one in the American media is reporting on what is going on in Burma.<\/p>\n
