Perhaps John McCain should go to the rebels there and promise USA munitions to them, too. No boots on the ground, of course. At least, not at first.
That would be a really great invasion, we could occupy and eventually invade China and pick up where we left off in the 1950s with Korea. Ah, the good 'ole days. When men were men and women, well women stayed home with the kids. Baseball and Apple Pie on the 4th of July. The kids today just ain't the same. Now, they burn the American flag and leak documents to some Brit with a lot of money. They have no sense of loyalty. They don't understand what it takes to be an American. Not like we did. Ingrates, I say.

Anti-Muslim violence erupted in Lashio, in the eastern Shan state of Burma (Myanmar), on May 28. The communal clashes, which began last June in the coastal western Rakhine state, displacing tens of thousands of ethnic Rohingya Muslims, are spreading throughout the country....
Last June and November, widespread violence against Rohingya Muslims in the western state of Rakhine resulted in at least 168 deaths, hundreds of injuries and the displacement of 120,000 people. Members of the ethnic Rohingya minority are denied citizenship in Burma. They are treated as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, where they are also refused citizenship. Many have lived in Burma for generations....
...The violence in Shan state follows three days of communal clashes in the city of Meiktila, in central Burma, during March. At least 40 people were killed, over 60 injured and 12,000 displaced. Some 828 buildings, mostly homes, were destroyed in Muslim areas of the city near the main markets. Three other instances of violence in Burma’s central Pegu region followed the Meiktila incident.
The violence in Meiktila erupted after an argument between a Muslim gold shop owner and Buddhist customers. According to media reports, police stood by as anti-Muslim gangs attacked people and burned down buildings.
