The Twelve Year Old Twin Commanders

God's Army was a Christian militia in Myanmar led by twin boys who were only twelve years old. Followers believed the siblings possessed divine powers and could deflect bullets in battle.

This unusual group emerged from the Karen insurgency along the border of Thailand and Burma. Johnny and Luther Htoo became legendary figures, supposedly leading hundreds of fighters while smoking cigars and wielding machine guns. Despite their high profile and audacious attacks on embassies, their military influence faded quickly. The brothers eventually surrendered to authorities, marking a surreal end to a strange chapter in regional history.
