He was a hunted man for supporting F.M. Sarath Fonseka. He was to be killed. He escaped to India and then to Oman and then served in U.S. Army in Afghanistan during the M.R. era. He was the highest-ranking officer to serve in Afghanistan. Hence the honor.

Masters rewarding their lackeys .. Same way the British rewarded Browne Sahibs.. during colonial rule .. Explains how this guy suddenly surfaced .. and was appointed Commander .. also how he vanished back to the US... when "Yahapalyana" was over... the rel Hero's ( SF Ext... are not allowed into the US ).... what a joke

Blessing Friday, 19 November 2021 10:55 AM

He fully deserves this. In my fair opinion he is the best General, who served Sri-Lanka Army.

සර්ට බෑ, සජියටත් බෑ Friday, 19 November 2021 12:34 PM

Ranjan Friday, 19 November 2021 12:41 PM

The Easter bombing happened Under his command. So the award from US is fitting.
