Of course, yet if you multiply 300 by 4 you are still nowhere close to the kind of situation we had in 2008 and 2013. Despite this the GHQ managed to find the troops to provide security. That was my point.
In 2008 around 6700 people died in Pakistan due to terrorism related incidents. In 2023 that figure stands at 300.

Pakistanis need to read and understand this:
