Are those heights relevant now? As the Indians have constructed an alternate all weather link road. What advantage do we have over Indians because of those heights?
Hmmm but then there was no need to push the offensive all the way to tiger hill. Those hieghts were manageable but PA pushed the offensive to unmanagable levels which was a logistical mis calculation of Musharaf and company. Our soldiers on Tiger hill and other forward positions faught while they starved as a result of the blunder of Musharaf.
@Icarus - Janaab itnaa diplomatic reply tou foreign office nahin detaaa....are you sure you're not in the wrong profession ?
I can imagine it - His Excellency Icarus the Sethi Pakistan's ambassador to Buttistan !
Ab MQM kay baad aap koh bhi mulk tornay ka khayal aagaya hai?
Mulk tornaaa......no...no...never !
I was merely pointing out that Pakistan was made for me...I am a Butt...so was Quaid-e-Azam even if his physique didn't make that obvious, so renaming it as Buttistan would be a good idea !
Yaar pehlay Quaid Shia thay ya Sunni, yeh debate kam thi kay ab Khwaja thay ya Butt wali debate bhi andar lay ao gay?
Sir g I never support these old fashioned ideas of dying without questioning. German 6th army was decimated because Paulus did not have the courage to disobey Hitler, He could have saved his men and continued fighting. On the contrary Von Meinstein saved 8th army from a similar fate by dis obeying Hitler. Do we not have the right to question the geniuses who made our troops suffer? Sir g ghussay wali gal ni hai ye many ex army men also raised these types of questions and they are a lot senior army guys. Many soldiers themselves talked how the survived by eating grass and insects. They must not be proud of their superiors.These things are for you to question, they have no misgivings against what they were ordered. A good soldier does not question, he fights where he is told with what he is given. Nobody cares for us more than our own superiors and they extend the best they can to us in the most adverse circumstances.
Ab MQM kay baad aap koh bhi mulk tornay ka khayal aagaya hai?
Quaid-e-Azam was neither a Shia nor was he a Sunni - He was a Muslim just like me !
Aur Quaid Khawaja tou ho nahin sakteiii.....because Khawajas are fake Kashmiris as I like to tell my cousins all the time !
Aur jaaan aur sunaiiin ? Sunday ko bhiii aaap on duty hain ya phir koi Bhabi-Hunt par niklaneii ka program hai ?
No one just sits idle because enemy is on the LOC and not Amritser or Lahore. PA launched sucidal attacks on IA positions in Siachen and it is well understood that the oposing forces, no matter Pakistan's or India's reteliate to any happening on LOC. Just like PA foiled an IA attempt to capture some hieghts in Leepa valley in 1972.
That all happens in LOC, not international border. Post 2002, it almost came to a halt.
I read it in a book but cant really recall the name of the interviewer. He asked General Niazi that why he did not fight for just another 24 hours (similar questions were also asked by the Hamood-ur-Rahman commission) and General replied that there was no use of it, the result would still be the same. The interviewer rendered General mute by saying "Perhaps the result would not be different but the history would be".
