The yawning gap could not be wider!<\/p>\n<p>The fault for the disaster in Mullaitivu in 1996 does not fall on the heroic rank-and-file soldiers, sailors, airmen and police who fought bravely and died by the hundreds in that battle, but on those who led them at the very top of the military and political pyramids, without giving them the means and the leadership to win!<\/p>\n<p>Those means and able leadership remained to be given by a future PATRIOTIC government that would win the hearts, the minds and the TRUST of those who actually fought. UNWAVERING PATRIOTISM made all the difference!<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, our task today is to RESTORE such a PATRIOTIC government to our Motherland! The memory of our thousands of honored dead at the Battle of Mullaitivu in 1996 demand no less!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;When you go home <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Tell them of us and say<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>For your tomorrow<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>We gave our lives today&#8230;.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Prologue:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/TZJ9oJ9JrgM?t=657\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/TZJ9oJ9JrgM?t=657<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter: 1<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/E1Elm4bCAZ4?t=4\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/E1Elm4bCAZ4?t=4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter-2:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/RQJsNAW6ijw?t=3\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/RQJsNAW6ijw?t=3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter-3:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Ujev4V-i5dE?t=6\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/Ujev4V-i5dE?t=6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter-4:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Pmh5D4IwM7A?t=3\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/Pmh5D4IwM7A?t=3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter-5:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5NhMrLdBaW8?t=11\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/5NhMrLdBaW8?t=11<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter-6:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SXIol9CNmcc?t=7\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/SXIol9CNmcc?t=7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter-7:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oTwwq4LvpVU?t=6\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/oTwwq4LvpVU?t=6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter-8:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/nGb__U3VwZs?t=9\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/nGb__U3VwZs?t=9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter-9:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KnVeRBCB6zw?t=12\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/KnVeRBCB6zw?t=12<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter-10:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hqY-5lQXqw0?t=8\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/hqY-5lQXqw0?t=8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter-11:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hv8VbyVs4hc?t=10\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/hv8VbyVs4hc?t=10<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chapter-12:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rwl0IOMY2_k?t=11\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/rwl0IOMY2_k?t=11<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ananda-USA As we watch the war-heroes of the Sri Lankan Nation being crucified at the UNHRC in Geneva, not only by the Tamil Eelamists who waged a brutal take-no-prisoners war in Sri Lanka and now posing as wailing victims, but also by our own government officials aiding and abetting those racist separatists, let us [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,5,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-forum","category-security","category-terrorism"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64470\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
