Myanmar's Thura Tin Oo, an officer and a gentleman from another age
BANGKOK -- The death from old age on June 1 of Tin Oo, Myanmar's most respected soldier and politician, was so widely mourned that even Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing was reported to have sent a wreath. The incumbent military regime chief visited his former commander in December 2021 with an offer of superior military hospital care that was firmly declined.
