Major General Shavendra Silva is a great patriot and a professional.
Extending his service is a disastrous decision from Sirisena’s point of view. A big win for the GR camp.

We need a patriotic Army Commander like Major General Shavendra at a bad time like this when Western vultures and hyenas are eying for a piece of this Island for their own consumption.
He took up the fight with unfair UN on his own when he was posted to New York. Mother Lanka need their service badly. Unfortunately the Yahaps sent home the likes of Kamal Guneratna, Jagath Dias, Chaagi Gallage, Presenna Silva etc etc..
