Why not the same level of concern, conduct and discipline when worse things happened and are happening in the north?

Army officer may be court marshaled ONLY if he is guilty. It is not a secret to anyone how reckless and arrogant the 3 wheelers are.

We never heard these voices when the LTTE was involved in mass murders in the North.

Nims, their is a conduct and difference in behavior between a legitimate armed force of a country and a group of illegitimate terrorists. Thus wat u state is that SLA is equal to LTTE in their activity.
