"We should question whether the military conscription drive is truly aimed at eradicating the civil war at its roots. While the People's Military Service Law is already in effect, if ethnic armed groups like the KIA, KNU, MNDAA, TNLA, and AA are still going to continue to exist, then it becomes utterly meaningless, doesn't it? Furthermore, a conscription drive carried out with the intention of ensuring that both the ethnic armed groups and the Tatmadaw (military) continue to exist indefinitely is something that simply should not happen."
