If Pakistani generals are serious of loss of lives, provide these soldiers with light armoured vehicles, Pakistan has enough armoured vehicles I'm sure. At best they are facing rocket launchers and AK47s. There is no high tech weaponry involved. Increase soldier strength, fortify their bases. Attacking another country is unacceptable, such decisions have severe consequences, they result in polarisation and divide in society. Already we have lost 100 Billion USD and 80,000 lives following the same policy, we have PDM and people like Mohsin Dawar who have inorganic but as well as organic support. Our generals thought they will be able to control it. They were never able to control anything. If these airstrikes are legit, then Indian strikes on Pakistani soil were also legit. Air strikes always have collateral damage. Collateral damage results in further fuelling of anti state sentiments and hence terrorism and civil wars are flamed which our enemies love to use against us. There were no such air strikes during Khan's time. And these have initiated as soon as Khan has left. Pointing that these are being done to please US on behest of Showbaz sharif.
