Is there any consensus in Pakistan on what it will take to fight this second, more indefinable enemy? Based on what I've seen with terrorism in Indian Punjab back in the day, it will be long, tough, costly, (not necessarily in Rupees), and will require sacrifices from the police, armed forces...

Ok: Passing on warnings about what are internal ops should be mostly the purvey of internally focused agencies, unless you are saying these were foreign ops in which case the ISI gets involved. So my question is, why is the ISI getting involved in tracking internal ops? Edited later: Actually...

I'd qualify at the outset that this is not a troll. Some forum members on this and other threads have argued that the ISI could take no blame in not preventing or combating these Shia killings as its focus is external to Pakistan. If so, I'm wondering the process and operational side that...

"Bandit" is a recognized term for enemy aircraft and has been in use by many English speaking nations for decades. I know that it was by pilots of the RAF in the Second World War. The Indian Air Force also used that term back in the day; not sure of current status. In short, it's no big deal.

There's something pathological here indeed.... bit it's neither the journal, nor me. I think the responses to the original post are literally separating the men from the kids, the people who have the concentration to read, the capability to assimilate and the maturity to understand, from the...

^^ Why so sensitive? This journal is a lovely read.

You do realize that that's exactly the way it should be in all developing and mature nations? From my experience as an army brat- this was years and years ago, I have no current insight- IA officers at all levels always considered themselves to be fundamentally and implicitly 'inferior' to...

OP- comparisons make no difference; just because Churchill was an unpleasant bigot does not mean we can mention him and Hitler in the same breath. Hitler was pure and simple the personification of evil. There are no two ways about it. And yes, Stalin was hardy much better. Perhaps just...

Rest In Peace. A 12 year old child killed. Who could be merciless enough to do it?

Very interesting and colourful fantasies. Have PA published any pictures or documents verifying these claims of "pictures, letters" etc recovered from bodies of IA soldiers? Please answer this question. I know IA has published letters, diaries, id cards of NLI soldiers and officers who died...

Yes Pakistan has to be careful India doesn't have in it other hand a plan to launch regular army forces to take territory across the LOC, pretend these troops were irregular for years, and lie to the world. Oh wait, that has already been done. It was called Kargil.

Yeah I love that talk of backstabbing. The irony is indeed stupendous.

Sometimes we buy in too well into the superhuman myth of special forces, especially western forces, especially US special forces. If US special forces were truly super human, Sergeants Randall David Shughart and Gary Gordon of the so named Delta Forces would still be alive today, and not with...

I no longer know what to believe on these India Pakistan controversies, especially the ones on the LOC. Who's right and who wrong. Who is speaking the truth. Or better yet, knowing what I know of this world, who is lying the least. So many deaths, so much brutality. I am frustrated enough...

Monitor12345, if you are Hindu; this is a charged debate, and making authoritative comments on matters that one does not fully understand will only add to the fuel. It would be appropriate to listen to the polite request below; .... If you are Muslim, or a scholar well versed in these matter...

This is just a theory. In hindsight, we could possibly deduce the actual extent of the damage at Kamra from the fate of Air Commodore Muhammad Azam, the base commander who was wounded in the attack. He was leading from the front; in fact actually fighting. From my first hand experience of...

OP, can you give an example from another culture/ country so one can have some context? Meanwhile, random answer I can think of: "Pakistan khappay" :lol: Can't deny that it's true, though.

Your reply is riddled with so many inherent contradictions, I'm not even sure where to start. In other words: We're not advanced, but we planned the Peelkhana massacre. We were smart enough to suborn an entire unit, but made basic errors of identity. I'll tell you what, wheel and come again...

What is this, amateur hour? Masterminds who plotted a murderous mass mutiny wanted to be easily identified - so they sent their own men in saffron/orange coloured headbands....... Heck they even sent a guy wearing a turban- Catch us, please catch us! This is the kind of analysis that...

Off topic but........ ....Gents I'm not sure if I have read you right, but the PVC can and often has been given to people who have survived battle. I can recall three names off the top of my head- Hoshiyar Singh Dahiya, Bana and Yogendra Yadav (although the authorities thought Yadav was...
