Hmmm.....a link with a warning of "Gore and Sexual Content," without any further comment or insight. So why "MUST WATCH"!?
This is Milnet.ca not the tabloids.

I am also a little skeptical that the website is youtu.be not youtube.com, but yes I agree with Journeyman. Why must we watch it?

Still not a must watch.
Many here have seen modern day genocide up close and personal.
Just go back and edit the MUST WATCH out of the title and be done with it.

I think you missed my point, which is basically, "so what"?Bravo Juliet said:
Add some personal thought to your post. How is this different from Armenia or Cambodia or Rwanda? Is there any linkage to Canada's Sri Lankan community? What do you believe, if anything, should be done -- including why and how?
Otherwise it just comes across as puerile death porn.....which this site neither needs or condones.

I watched it. Definately not a must watch.
When does the vid of the Tamil Tiger atrocities come out?
Really pretty tame to stuff to be calling it the 'killing fields' when one thinks to the Khmer Rouge whose actions the phrase was coined for.
Go edit your title now.

I tried to tell em, but they won't listen.....And I agree with JM.
I was in Croatia in 93. I wasn't on the sweep teams that were manned by Mortar Platoon who found the bodies of the victims of the murdering scum called an "army" and I am damn glad I wasn't.

took you 15 mins to watch a 50 mins video ?
I said its a must watch because it shows soldiers executing LTTE prisoners , sexual abuse of TV news reader and more.
no one said LTTE is good but it is expected of a terrorist group but on the other hand Goverment of Sri Lanka doing this to their own people.
33:45 Is tame É ???

This is not new, governments have "neck shot" their own for centuries. The former Soviet Union did it for sport; the Nazis to eradicate an entire race. The Turks attempted to eradicate the Armenians. Sadaam Hussein used chemical weapons on the Kurds in Northern Iraq. Cambodians slaughtered TWO MILLION of their OWN people. The government of South Vietnam wasn't lilly white.
I know that you are shocked that a government could do this......but governments do.

So I jumped through it instead of wasting my time. The message is the same. It's still not a must watch.
Now, go look up videos of Pol Pot's killing fields if you want to get a true gist of the phrase. and not some sensationalistic You Tube posters idea of it.
