Taliban are not an organised army which is why they cannot be defeated purely by military means. NATO couldn't defeat them either with all their technology and neither could 'professional' Indian Army hold the 'militants' in Occupied Kashmir.
As for Pakistan's investment in 'non-state actors', show me a government that wouldn't do that. Think of Mukti Bahni for example.
I do agree to some extent that military has to be careful in the amount of fire power it unleashes, specially when you are operating within the boundaries of your own country.
I for one would rather ban the use of armed forces in the country altogether and instead, heavily invest in police and intelligence to do the job. Fighting terrorists is not Army's job, thats for police.
If USA/NATO bombs Taliban like they bombed Japan and Germany, or even like they bombed Vietnam the fear of God will be fixed deep in your hearts. You have no idea how big, bad and powerful USA can be. They are fighting with their hands tied behind their back.
Indian Army is in full control over Kashmir that's why Indians are there and you Pakistanis are crying. Indian Army has better control over Kashmir than Pakistan does over its tribal regions.
Other states invest in non-state actors. Russia is doing that in Ukraine now. Thing is you Pakistanis lack the intelligence on how to use non-state actors. Mukti bahini and the Ukraine rebels did not fight against India and Russia, The Taliban is bombing the daylights out of you.
I agree with your last line though.
