This interview covers his three meetings with Aung Sun - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aung_San, the assassinated father of Aung San Suu Kyi which took place between 1945 and 1947, his time in the War Office post independence and his posting to Dartmouth in the UK for training before being recalled by General Ne Win - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ne_Win - as he was wrongly accused of being too close to the Karens at a time when the first independence Government led by Burmese U Nu was suspicious of those who were not Burmese.  It also covers how General Ne Win used the same politics to remove his competitor for head of the Armed Forces.   KT believes WW2 war hero, Lt General Smith Dun, a Karen should, on merit, have kept the role -  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_Dun
