This is a very good strategy. It will provide the youth of FATA with much needed financial sufficiency. Coupled to 'Army led infrastructure development' it could prove to be a real game-changer for the region. Next step should be changing the status of area by making it a province of it's own and abolition of Frontier Crimes Regulation and concurrent implementation of 'The constitution of Pakistan'.
@Samandri, it is time that you know the history of the area. After the fiasco of first Afghan War in 1839 - in which only 1 out of 16000 members of British Army had survived - the British started to recruit people from the FATA area and thus was established the legendary 'Khyber Rifles'. Once their financial needs were met, the people of the area become a loyal contingent of the British Indian Army. What makes you think that these people will not welcome the new opportunities of employment? Looking at past history, there does not seem to be a problem of 'ghayrat' at all.
