“QUARTERED SAFE OUT HERE … provides insight into what it takes an individual to survive, both (with luck) physically and, more importantly, ethically”

– retired Australian Army officer Jason Thomas on George MacDonald Fraser’s memoir of the WW2 Burma campaign

War Room - U.S. Army War College · ON GOOD PENMANSHIP: QUARTERED SAFE OUT HERE (DUSTY SHELVES)It's been a while but the DUSTY SHELVES series is back with a new look at an older book. WAR ROOM welcomes Jason Thomas as he reviews Quartered Safe Out Here by George MacDonald Fraser. An intriguing look at the oft forgotten China Burma India Theater of World War II, MacDonald Fraser is a skilled author that relays the experiences of the men of The Border Regiment through his personal history as an infantryman in the Burma Campaign. Jason pulls out the book's lessons of unit cohesion, integrity, ethics and resilience that are timeless and useful to any military leader and deems Quartered Safe Out Here worthy of a dust off.

Burmese-Singaporean thinker Yan Naung Oak has a lovely piece on 'Seapunks':

Not scifi, which romanticizes technology; not cyberpunk, nor solarpunk.

But a uniquely SE Asian concept. Mandalas, Myanmar, environmentalism, capitalism and other topics:

'Captures our culture of living with and finding ways to thrive in a world that will continue to be neither completely utopian nor dystopian.'

I always enjoy Yan's work

The first (documented) death due to the USAID shutdown. By no means the last.

If there had been warning, they could have done something. But this left no time for people to find alternative care.

This hits us hard. My wife worked in Umphiem Camp where Pe Kha Lau died. If you'd like to help support medical services on the Thai/Burma border, you can donate through Partners Asia at partnersasia.org/who-we-are/. You can earmark it for any of their partner organizations, but Mae Taw Clinic (maetaoclinic.org/) is where that Pe Kha Lau's family likely would have taken her if they'd had time and warning of the shutdown.

If this was 174 white people, Americans, Europeans, Japanese, Koreans, etc, it would be a major global story for weeks.

But since it's 174 #Rohingya, it barely merits a peep.
