The increasing use of SLAF assets for providing air support for the infantry is great. Will go a long wat to minimising infantry casualties/KIA.

Troops on offensive operation in Vavuniya


Weren't we told by Kehellella and the MCNS that it was the LTTE that goes on offensive operations and the forces merely are defending?

Deken koi boruwada eththa?!

MahaDevan,
Climbed one inch and slipped down by feet


Anyway, if you are living in Wanni, plan for the worst. Keep few buckets of water or fire extinguisher ready.
