Can a country destroy a race and give a Field Marshall post?

 

War Crimes in Sri Lanka

Sunday, 22 March 2015

We should admire that Sri Lanka is a country always create new concepts. In spite of creating new methodologies it is important if we can focus our attention on long term factors. Though we don’t have world standards for many things we have world standards for values and virtues. If we campaign against such standards as a country we would become a buffoon. If it is so it is our duty to save our country from such remarks.

In any country an army is created according to a tradition. Recently in order to gain selfish aspirations those traditions were thrown out from the rear entrance. Those unfortunate incidents are now gaining momentum. Without any analysis and evaluation never happened in the world history before an effort is exerted to create a new position in the army in order to obtain selfish gains and political advantage.

How can we approve a supreme Field Marshall position to a person who has left the army, got a retirement, later actively participated in politics and became a political party leader there by becoming a member of a party trying to come to power demanding a position through a political promise?

Following the war victory, behalf of fighting against whom can he demand this position? No one in the country called these separatists as our enemies. According to the traditions of the war enemies are defined only when there is a war between two countries. When the citizen’s of a country takes arms against the government they are
called as a rebel or a combatant. On this is it due to the destruction of a community that this position is demanded? Is that because to prove the world that we violated all humanitarian laws and ended a war?

In India when Maniksho was appointed as the Field Marshall position and following his statement given that it is due to him the war was won, the government appointed Kariappar as the Field Marshall and said that it was not only you but with the commitments of other generals. Therefore there are possibilities to nullify these positions gained in view of selfish. There is no rest or respect for the positions gained by greediness, selfish and power hungry.

However whatever materials gained there is no limit for the human desire. That was proved in the 2009 election. Therefore if the government gives such a position it can cause retribution in the future. If so it would be the country which would be perished.

There are world renowned Army Commanders. One such person is General Dwight D. Eisonhower. He removed all his positions to the American Senate when coming in to politics. He contested the American president
election and became the 34th president of the United States. Isn’t this a good precedence? Can we expect such a model in our country?
