I for one think of land holding as another way of owning industry. SO why not institute a tax on the earnings of the land lord. :rofl: Seriously tax the landlord and who will pay that tax? Yep the poor guy at the bottom of the food chain and he is the one who can not afford to pay. he is...

they don't seem to hug the wheeled concept too much. besides the Talha, Saad are not M113s but their version. Bit like the Canadian M113S3+s, ie Mobile Tactical Vehicle Light (MTVL) stretched M113s. Also a few other little mods. side issue anything ever come of the LAV-EFSS? (120mm mor in...

One thing though re APC vs IFV as an example with the US even in 1985 the Mech Inf pl with the M113 was down to a 9, (total of carrier team and dismount team), man squad/section mounted in 4 M113s. There can be a bit of a variance depending on this being a J-series TOE or and H-series TOE. The...

taimikhan I find both these post of your offensive and way out side any sane discussion in this forum. YOu are close to personally attacking a person which is outside forum gidelines. AND You dare attack a persons military background yet you have none. Back off! The thought of a petition to...

I found these comments the most interesting: Thacker agreed, explaining the importance of the seminar in building relationships to work together on overseas contingency operations. "When you talk about building trust and relationships, the more often you have schooling and conferences...

One thing that has intrigue me with the many different Pakistan armoured personnel carriers, be it an APC, ICV or IFV: Talha, Saad and M113 Most appear to mount a single 12.5mm MG but this is totally out in the open, though the Saad is suggested to mount a larger MG. The only vehicle mounting...

Ah let there be a conspiracy.:victory: Yes the US is developing plan to take over Pakistan with this huge embassy.:rofl: Ok that is out of the way. First the ‘hundreds of Dyncorp Armoured Personnel Carriers’. Oh give truth a break. They are not APC they are armoured cars as in armoured...

Oh you young ones.. :lol: Really.. :rofl: Marriage and having children is a commitment. It does not matter what your religion is or is you consider yourself agnostic. For some that commitment is assisted with their religious beliefs other manage without religion. But how ever you look at it...

for some time I have been under the misapprehension that forum members were supposed to act in a mature fashion. It would appear from this thread that this concept has been lost. Face a few facts Elmo can not help being a fuzzy red person and slightly noisy. Elmo has also made some...

You are trying to use logic again. :tsk: Truth dies quickly about here.:agree: Good taliban, = Afghan Taliban = unwanted in Afghanistan but fight as terrorist in Afghanistan. The people in Afghanistan still don't want them back. The people in pakistan are happy for them to take back power...

In essence all these are fundamentally ICVs or IMVs APC Saad APC Talha IFV Al-Hamza The term APC is generic and carries just that a generic terminology for a vehicle style not function. ICVs and IMVs are battle taxies; carry infantry form point A to point B with a certain amount of...

Fine. But like all things demi-political its the devil in the real detail: The bipartisan amendment moved by Democrat Robert Menendez and Republican Bob Corker would mandate a certification by the secretaries of state and defence, before Pakistan is reimbursed with Coalition Support Funds, that...

Get a few basics first. The Stryker is an ICV that is NOT and IFV. As a nice point of clarification and ICV is a taxi cab for the battle field. It is not something that runs up on an objective and unloads the mech inf on site That is an IFV. I would also suggest you do some reading re the...

Was that a polite way of saying that politicians, political parties and religious groups need to grow up and act in a mature manner. The constant use of some form of demonstration to publicly object to an issue leads to this being the norm of doing things. The start of possible so called Mob...

Has it occurred to any of you that fundamentally this thread has accused and found guilty Gen Hamid Gul and not one of those people have a real bit of evidence on this matter. Basically it amounts to slander. I am not saying he is guilty or innocent, I, like all here do not know the facts.

Forget Iraq and WMD, Iran and North Korea, they are all red herrings in the discussion. Serve nothing but a poor attempt to detract from the real the argument. Indicates a weak argument point. Great Idea, let the Taliban take back Afghanistan. Let them bring back their concepts of Sharia...

muse: Should that be more like: You want friendship of the Pashtun/Pakhtun tribesmen?? Defeat them, kick their behind in the most humiliating manner, after that, be fair and firm with them, and they will respect you and be your friends. slight rewording.

For myself, I'll place greater belief in our intent for Afghanistan as espoused here- War In Afghanistan: Strategy, Military Operations, and Issues For Congress-Congressional Research Service Jan. 23, 2009 Now seriously we both know any link like this will not get many if any bothering to...

:eek: :rofl: You are mixing the wrong words here, 'Women' and 'normal'. I did note you tried to qualify your comment. The worst part with some of these "Aggressive, not nice, women" is that when they are wrong in matters of fact they never admit it. When they agree you are the oen who...

From the Dawn article: DAWN.COM | Pakistan | Proof of RAW involvement in terror acts given to India A substantial part of the shared material deals with the Balochistan insurgency and Indian linkages with the insurgents, particularly Bramdagh Bugti, Burhan and Sher Khan. From Zeenews...
