542: Stronghold: War, Rescue, and Resistance. With Ephraim Mattos
"The Burma Army was driving down the road to come attack the rebels with these giant trucks with huge speakers on them, Mad Max style, and they're blasting some sort of war death metal music. All of the soldiers, or many of the soldiers at least, were on meth. It's a totally normal tactic for the Burma Army. They'll give their guys meth when they want to hype them up for a particular fight."
Matos revealed the Burma Army routinely uses methamphetamine to drug its soldiers before battle and conducts assaults with trucks mounted with massive speakers blasting death metal music. This unconventional warfare tactic is designed to intimidate and overwhelm resistance forces, representing a stark departure from conventional military operations and highlighting the brutal nature of the conflict.
