To put it very roughly: Military: Full-time soldiers, thoroughly trained, strong hierarchy, division of responsibilities, self-contained and self-sustaining. Militia: Not professional soldiers, only stop-gaps, basic (or less) training, loose hierarchy based on social status/charisma rather...

So discussing a law, which is man made, mind you, equals blasphemy? That in itself is blasphemy according to my opinion. According quasi-divine status to a law less than 4 decades old. And then the articles stop short of operationalizing what attributes said individual must possess, leaving it...

Men with guns and uniforms, does not an Army make. What you are referring to is a militia more than a military.

On the second front, India will probably not stand much to gain on discovering how we do internal intelligence work. But I reiterate, the experience from the first duty mentioned amounts to naught. Yes, everyone in India is issued a pseudonym and two passports. Its standard procedure.

I'm honoured that you would be interested in the words of an old windbag like myself :-D I think the degree of hostility warranted a statement by the PM. Just my opinion.

Lol you're the one whose acting like he's party to what's going on inside the GHQ and RAW at the same time.

Oh so we're nitpicking now after our point was rendered invalid. How quaint.

They rely on second hand knowledge from people like me and @Spring Onion. I assure you my logic is sound. You can hear everything about how wonderfully romantic a city Paris is from someone who has heard about it from friends but you can only truly come to appreciate it when you see it for...

I've actually shared my experiences on many threads, haven't compiled them anywhere though. And yes, I served in Bajaur (Op Sherdil, Pak's first major anti-terror offensive) and then was assigned to Op Rah-e-Rast, by accident, as I like to call it, when I was offloaded there from my heli to make...

Yes, he's the man that's supposed to sign on forms for new keyboards and cooling fans. I bet he's a god damn hacker by now.

I won't say that NS will have ANA trigger an attack on civilians on his whim but I will agree that the government's damning silence on the matter is shameful.

Not Pakistanis but the same tribe.

Here's a source within the Government corroborating what I'm saying though: https://www.dawn.com/news/1264568 I had people a team of journalists visit us in Bajaur in 2009, all of these people you see hosting 9 O'Clock news and the first thing they said was, "Sir yeh ilaqa toh Peshawar say...

Can you count how many of them have seen the area?

She's a journalist and I'm a military guy who served in FATA for much of the 2007-11 period.

Apples and Oranges, no sense of priority.

Yaar when I was in Bajaur we also had a case like this, one day out of nowhere these Afghans crossed the border took two small border pickets, beat the guys manning them, set fire to their vehicles and said that it was their territory. Our Commandant simply turned the 155s at HQ towards the post...

They handed over custody of the gate! There were no Pakistani citizens living in the gate to be made aliens!

Uhhhhhh, no thanks. We have enough Afghans as it is.
