The mainly Burman and Rakhine led military considers ordinary Burmese people only as the subject people/ tenants. If it is about the ethnic members the treatment could be even worse. They wouldn't care human suffering. The military rulers possess these mental make up from their much charished symbols; the medieval kings who controlled Burma through committing notorious genocides.
One of such kings was Anuradtha, the man who became king by killing his own brother and killed a great number of Mon people and took their religion Buddhism for Burma. Anuradha was the founder of Theraveda Buddhism in Burma. All these factors make Burma's case (with its military occupying power with the ancient king's model for half a century,) most interesting and unfortunately complicated.
