This blog concerns the Sri Lankans fight against LTTE terrorism.LTTE is a ruthless terror outfit which fights for an ethnically pure, separate Tamil homeland for Tamils living in Sri Lanka since 1983. The outfit is well known for its extreme tribalism and nefarious crimes against soft targets specially the women and children. During its two and half decade long terrorist war against Sri Lankan people, LTTE has killed over 70,000 people mostly civilians in its ethnic cleansing raids, indiscriminate bomb attacks, suicide blasts, etc. LTTE is also in top of the UN's list of shame for using child soldiers in war. As a tactical measure the outfit uses only young female cadres and male child soldiers for the front lines.

Uncommon Valor was a Common Virtue."

Slabs of green compounded together into glory...Green eyes stare through me.

Uncommon valor slams me like rockets and knocks me down to my knees. Dead!

They're dead and yet I still see them. Hear them. Feel them.

Hear their screams of triumph and horror as they raise our Lion Flag into history.

Poised in eternal glory and honor in defense of freedom...I shed a single tear as I hear their song:

"Uncommon Valor was a Common Virtue."
