The difference is the Myanmar military was killing their own citizens.

A country's military firing live rounds on their own citizens with seemingly no remorse is different than a country's military committing violence in foreign countries.

I'm certainly not condoning either example of military force presented here, but the duty of the military should ultimately be to preserve their citizens. Killing its own citizens and then using social media to lie about it is something I don't think the US military has done.

Should Facebook then close Police departments pages? They're killing fellow citizens and they're doing that more than any other Police force in the west.

That's a decent point. To my argument though, the duty of the police sometimes does acceptably involve violence against citizens when necessary (although at present they are far too frequently forgetting the "when necessary" part).

Also, police departments are far more localized and I think hold much less clout than a national organization.

Well, I'm sure at least someone thought about doing that over the summer.

The US is inprisoning drug users en masse and forces them to provide labour. That does not directly kill people but prevents them from living it the way they want which is somewhat similar in effect, not to mention all the suicides or related gang violence. Not much different to be honest. Army let politicians get boatloads of cash from prison and pharma industry to keep up the war on citizens. Wake up.
