And You don't.He does exactly what he is told.You stay at home and watch TV.He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.He crawls under a tank for shade and a 5 minute nap, only to be awakened by gunfire.You sit there and judge him, saying the world is probably a worse place because of men like him.If only there were more men like him!WHO is HE?If you support him , then please re-send this to everyone you know...Perhaps people will change their attitude and behaviour to support HIS worthy cause... HE is sacrificing his today for our future Sri Lanka!!!In dediaction of the true Valient Sri Lankan Men and Women in the Army, Air Force and Navy!</blockquote>
