These are unsuitable and undesirable criminal elements who bring shame to our gallant forces. This cannot be the first occasion they committed such a heinous act as they would have got away and won't be the last. They should be court marshaled.

We respected them, We will respect them as our Hero. But if they commit crimes or mistakes, they should be punished.

This is the time to Arm forces out of picture from civil defense. It means the security officers or citizens of this country are not feeling the other citizens as their people. Poor social well being! What to say!

To steal from a poor woman!! These types are the bane of the gallant armed forces. Now that the war is over & the army having less activity, the authorities should be on the lookout for more such incidents.

This part and parcel of the suba anagatayak deal.

we dont respect them..

You mean the arrest of soldiers involved in this robbery is a bad thing? Aren't you a bit confused?

How come a "disabled lance corporal" is still in duty?

Lets not make an issue of this isolated incident. These things happen when you have 300,000 of them there will be some bad eggs and they should be dealt with. On a wider note why should such a small country have so many soldiers, can they be used to re-contruct without Chinese foreighn labour?

Low of the lowest acts.
I thought soldiers were noble men...
