The worse fact is "rape used systematically as a weapon". I have been serving in Burma military for 15 years since 2000, there were some rape cases, I am not denying (I used "some" because it is not frequently happening. HR activists or anti-regime may say "a lot of or many or hundreds of". I do not understand what do you mean by systematic rape. All are soldiers, they are subordinated to civilian laws and military law. Even the US soldiers in Iraq did commit rape, why doesn't the world say it is systematic rape? If there are men or soldiers, there can be rape cases, both in military and civilian. Should we blame the whole for one culprit? If so, would you point me out the military which had never had rape case in its history? He who commits rape in Burma military suffered severe punishment (7 to 15 years sentence). Moreover, all responsible person have to undergo legal actions. things not that horrible as the world perceives. Sadly, the world hears or believes only one side. there are also forgotten voices like this comment.
