We're wasting precious men on these monstrous mountains. :tsk:

I hope we at least withdraw our forces from that bloody siachen.

RIP...Its the supreme sacrifice of these men that we are thriving as a nation. Mother India will always remember you brave one.

Mean while I read a story of a brave Pakistan lad who sactificed his life in a bid to stop a suicide bomber from attacking his school. Sad I didnt find any link in PDF for such a brave soul. RIP Pakistan should be proud of you.

True but any troop withdrawal will only happen when Pakistan will be ready to demarcate the ground held by both parties in siachen .

Even then I don't think IA will be happy to withdraw troops keeping in mind the kargil episode .

RIP. These sort of things are very common on both sides, when they aren't killing or being killed by the other side, the conditions have at them.
