The Free Burma Rangers
THA DA DER, KAREN STATE, BURMA - DECEMBER 6: Members of the Free Burma Rangers group at their outpost resistance camp not far from a Burma military base December 6, 2011 in Tha Da Der, Karen State, Burma. The Free Burma Rangers (FBR) are a Christian pro-active, pro-democracy humanitarian group who work throughout Burma (also known as Myanmar) but concentrate primarily on the heavily forested border region, delivering emergency medical assistance to sick and injured internally displaced people, or IDP's. FBR trains teams of men and women in frontline medical treatment and reconnaissance techniques. In addition to delivering humanitarian relief, a secondary role of the teams is to obtain evidence of military violence and human rights abuse. (Photo by Jonathan Torgovnik/Reportage by Getty Images)
An ordained minister who is also a former US Special Forces operator is training rebels near the Burmese border? We need a new word for something that is at once cool, interesting, and terrifying. [THE JESUS-KISSED, WAR-FRINGED, LOVE-SWIRLED RANGERS – Outside]
