Deserters of both sides had similar issues..which left them stay back.
Tigers will take them by force...GOSL will take them to Military courts.
One main reason to control violence and other unlawful acts. |

Eelan, why are you in such a panic? Have the thugs frightened you?
BTW, what is the difference between a thug and a commando? |

Thug steals, kills civilians and rapes.
Remember Mylanthannai, Chemmani, Pesalai?

Only in a country with freedom shows the tolerance and lenience for deserting her forces.Tamilmedia always take the initiative to mislead the public by publishing storms that forms in tea cups.SLA is not in a crisis short of manpower,but having deserters back makes it easier on resources to train new recruits.
Tamil media will continue to publish stories to sabotage morale of the public,but it will not work.
Sometimes I wonder,why do I have to discuss issues that has least concern over Eelam Tamil Terror decimation with few desk top Tamil Eelamists,since they are only fed with entertainment that angers them by their own media to enhance their fake struggle with fake oppression.
Eelam Tamil Terrorists and their desktop henchmen have few more days to be entertained,before they go into hibernation with defeat and humuliation...:-) |

The month of July has been the bloodiest yet, with the government claiming to have iced 1,017 terrorists for the loss of 106 soldiers' lives. These figures were revealed by the Prime Minister to parliament, before the entire government took off on election campaigning work.
The most worrying part of the Prime Minister's statement was that he said 622 - six times the number killed - soldiers were 'injured' in battle. This is not a military that counts a scratch on the arm or a broken toe as an injury. A lot of these soldiers, aged 18 and up, have been hurt so badly that their lives have been effectively shattered.
The stats
Also, if the government claims that nearly 12,000 Tigers have been killed between 2006 to date, surely at least a similar number must also have been maimed?
The Prime Minister's numbers for those killed last month however did not tally with our own records of news releases from the Defence Ministry.
The Ministry doles out the odd news story of a soldier who 'laid his life for the motherland' or 'made the supreme sacrifice' every so often, scattered amongst the banner headlines of all the hundreds of terrorists it is killing every week. The total number of soldiers admitted killed by the military itself in the month of July was just 55, almost half the 106 that Ratnasiri Wickremanayake claims were killed.
Similarly, the military's reports only allow that 299 soldiers were injured in the month of July, despite the Prime Minister's figure being double this. Although these figures cannot be verified, time and time again they are found to be untrue and reek of fabrication.The intention is obvious and there in lies the rub.
Rather than fight the war on a strategic basis to corner the Tigers what the government is doing all too obviously is dish out false propaganda simply to achieve political ends as opposed to real military successes. Thuswhile claiming on a daily basis that only one or two soldiers are killed as opposed to dozens of Tigersin their propaganda handouts, the government is conditioning the minds of the people on a daily basis the war is nearing end at very little human cost to the military.
Monthly statement
Then comes the monthly statement of the Prime Minister at the emergency debate giving lie to the government's own daily propaganda by stating over 100 soldiers were killed for the month with over 600 injured if July is taken as an example. That figure of course does not spell out the number of missing in action or deserters. What does this mean in real terms ? In July alone for example there were over 725 soldiers either killed or injured in battle. Simply put that is an average of 23 soldiers are killed or injured every day.
