Until recently, Myanmar's army was widely seen as undefeatable - too big and brutal to take down. That is changing. An armed uprising started three years ago, after the military seized power from elected officials and tried to rule as a regime. That resistance is now on a roll, capturing vast territory and leaving senior generals "demoralized," according to an army major who defected and spoke to The World's Patrick Winn. In a rare interview, the ex-major says Myanmar's generals feel no remorse for killing civilians and anticipate a coming "fight to the death."
