Reports of Noshki FC HQ under attack

Spillover from Afghanistan + Political instability + Economic crisis + Social divisions + Policy confusion + Incompetence/Corruption + Information warfare etc = Low Morale (Disappointment, Sadness, Resentment, Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt, and Anger)

It is not this one attack that is causing this reaction. It is all of the above. Everyone can sense it, even if they cannot articulate it. What this country needs above all else is a leadership that heals the country.

Yes. That is the case. But, then, we all are collectively, as a nation, responsible for all the menaces, you have mentioned, and thus we have to bear the burden of the consequences.

If he did that, literally nothing would change, and he would be criticized for that too.

Security is the army's domain, start with directing your skepticism towards Bajwa, and hope he grows as big of a spine as Raheel Shareef.

Still he needs to be more strong in these statements. Enough of these salutes that he keeps throwing after every attack

Seriously, the m4/m16 proliferation in the region has made militants far more deadly accurate. I fully expect the m4/m16 to become the preferred choice of militants going forward.

Again, what is it that you except him to do? Strongly worded statements will result in the same criticism, and you know this is fact.

Criticism from whom exactly?? Those lefties of LUMS???

Who cares. The leader of this country needs to be more strong then just redundant statements after every attack. He represents state. State needs to show intent for revenge and kill

I have never ever seen a single non Pakistani National involved in any attack inside Pakistan.
While i agree that we need to look inward but this statement of yours is contradictory to reality.

We had terrorists from China, Uzbikstan, Somalia, Chechnya, Afghanistan and Iran. This is given that bulk of the terrorist were from Pakistan but this doesn't take away the fact that terrorists from other countries planned and attacked Pakistan.

True, but if Army is under constant threat, that calls for a operation... there are no isolated incidents, well organized/Planned Attacks is what Army is facing, and its happening from 2 years now as the security situation is worsening by the day, even Chinese engineers are getting targeted in recent time and yet we haven't launch a Operations, there are no major Operations in KPK right now, yes army is stretched but national security is also important, Balochistan is important due to CPEC and any future Chinese investments.
Operations would displace the local population and innocents would lose their homes, livelihoods, businesses and lives. They would be counter productive in that they would risk alienating the local population and would potentially act as a recruiting sergeant for the insurgents by making it look and feel as though they were under attack from an enemy force.
These things have to be very carefully thought out, planned and executed.
We have to be careful we don't use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

From the common Pakistani, are you a leftie from LUMS?

You are again avoiding my question.

What do you expect him to do?

Most of the common Pakistani wont mind him using strong words against terrorists

Unless of course he is from BLA himself or PTM or MQM London etc. They are not common Pakistani

The ratio is not 10:1 in favour of Pakistan. It is 3:1. With 15 terrorists killed and 5 martyrs on our side, the ratio stands at 3:1. We must raise the stakes for the enemy. Yes, these attacks will continue but we must make it a point of making every attack progressively expensive in terms of manpower for the enemy. They are humans on the other side as well with families, just like, our soldiers have families. If it is a war of attrition, then make it a proper war of attrition.

Once again, thanks to SSG that these bastar.ds were dispatched to hell. SSG were as usual efficient and lethal.

However, such terror attacks will continue and our soldiers will continue to die because the real terrorist Supporter India is not being taken to task.

There is a large difference between insurgencies of TTP and Balochs. The later has a strong ethnic element and it is as old as Pakistan is. It raises it's head time and again. First peak was in 1970s. This need to be tackled very carefully, otherwise it can go totally out of hand. I believe that our Establishment is on right track. While countering the insurgency, we can't alienate a large populace. Since, the operations have to be calibrated carefully, we will have to bear larger number of casualties. Clean-sweep type operations would be counterproductive.
