We will need our brave boys. One day they will have to fight the Indians. “Size” doesn’t matter, look at tiny Ukraine blowing the Super Power Russia.

Britain boasts about it’s special force of the Army known as the SAS(Special Air Services Regiment) to be the best in the world.I have yet to see evidence for this British boast. SAS is treated like super heroes in Britain and all the torture allegations against it in Afghanistan are quickly suppressed by the “protective” British government and the “ patriotic” British newspapers. It will be interesting if a competition can be organised to test the combat capabilities of the SAS and our own Army Special Forces. I am sure we can beat them and shock Britain.

Being unshaven is now part of the appearance of soldiers? Or is that supposed to be reminiscent of the heroes in Indian films? It doesn't look martial in this unit, rather pathetic.

It is time now for the Indian paid “ psycho “ D B S Jeyaraj to start his comments against Sri Lanka and our forces using aliases.

C D: you are probably right, but I don't care. Why do you read a British based newspaper anyway?

@ C D What a joke. Why are SL units used in UN operations only for logistic activities and not for combat operations? Because they are badly trained and considered cowards.

I think it is time to stop expanding our military.

@Sokrates: SF soldiers are not bound by 'need to shave' rules, often found in many military units throughout the world. Therefore, they are free to and somewhat encouraged to grow their beards out.

Waste of money training these people. All what we need is more and more policeman. Why don’t armed forces wear identity numbers like the police? Can someone with adequate knowledge explain please. Now @at Sisira - I think the time has come for you to see a government psychiatrist and undergo a counselling session as well.

The Sri Lankan Sinhala Buddhist dominated regime took the fight against Tamils nearly three decades . Tamils bravely fought and they bravely lost. They fought for their rights and they fought against the injustice and crime committed by the Sinhala Buddhist dominated government. They lost the battle. Now the government doing the same to the own Sinhalese people. Nothing go unanswered. Recently I watched the Kannada movie Kanthara. (better watch) Those who committed crime against humanity will be answered by the divine thru human.

SO VERY GOOD TO SEE! Our 'Boys' can out do any Special Forces in the world with their inherent intelligence, inborn skills, and thorough training. Wish them well always... Kudos to everyone involved in planning and implementing their training programmes. MM

Military spending is in excess of US$ 1.36B for this year already, within the same year we have spent US$ 790M for MOH for the entire country means for 21M people. Soon we're going to be like North Korea with a failed system without any food to eat whilst having a thriving military for no other reason but to safeguard the thieves at the parliament. For the idiot above who wrote the first comment, must be related to 'Ganja Diana' cause just like Diana, he also lives in a fantasy-land.

That’s good. But, no matter how much training they have, they used all that to tarnish their own name by the atrocities they carried out until 2009. Reconcile with your victims first, then we can celebrate them as a country together.

Well, it’s indeed nice to see these youths in glittering clothes but what are they going to do in real life? What can they contribute to the country? Absolutely nothing! We are spending so much on our armed forces for nothing while our children are malnourished for the 1st time in our country’s history. Susie’s you should consider changing your name to either siyarata or pus atta. Please stop

Aney, my putha Sisira posted a comment that India will invade Sri Lanka (Puthata handsome payment from China for saying that!). Why anney would India invade us? What can they take from us? Oil, tea, nuclear weapons? They have all that no. May be Tricomalee harbor, but we gave it to them no? But mage putha Sisira said that India has no toilets and they will invade Sri Lanka to steel my toilet. Sisira putha said we need battalions of Special Forces to protect our toilets. Now I am very careful with my kakkussiya. We have to be careful no? (Coo Mawatha; from Hikkaduwa, Agnostic, Sinhalese, Karava caste)
