Look who's talking .
If Gen Raheel Sharif would've said it, Pakistan would be the evil tyrant, aggressor etc...
Seriously Afghans would've lost their minds.
Mr. Shaheem should stop pointing fingers at others and get his act straight. Threatening Pakistan will not end up well for Afghanistan.

We are catching on duty Afghan rascals with ammo inside Pakistan on regular basis and they are shelling us to make way for talis incursion inside Pakistan and we are here listening such Ba....in from them.

Under influence of sasta nasha such statements are much more expected.

were was this army when the evil empire invaded them in 1979?

 

[Khan_21]

I think even punjab police would be enough to handle afghan army as they are so inept .

 

[Strigon]

What? Afghan has an army? That's way too funny. Their incompetent conscripts can't even tackle bearded 6th century cave men at bay.

There is a hotline between the DGMO of both countries and this needs to activated to stop this border skirmishes.
Border between us needs to be used for commerce and not bombarding each other.

As an FYI, ANA is not conscript, its a professional army, you post sounded more like a rant from a keyboard warrior sitting in the states rather an objective observer on the ground who has to live with the consequences of hostilities between Afghanistan an Pakistan.

Let's hope not. We don't want to kill any Afghans.

 

[Hyperion]

My opinion has changed considerably, regarding Afghans, in the last two years....... I say, why not get even with these Indian proxies!

How would you get even? What can Pakistan do? Perhaps you can elaborate.

Funny thing is that with a pinch of sense you have shed here you might be a better fit as a general than the clown currently in place talking all tough. Even funnier part is that while you talk about me sitting in States, it's your general sitting in an air conditioned room protected from every corner by conscripts, professional army that's a laugh, sending more to their doom across border. If the simple logic seems like a keyboard battle to you then you are out of touch with reality of daily afgan in - fighting while sitting in afgan. The norm is, when these conscripts fail, which happens a lot, they are instructed to curse Pakistan. Maybe take your refugees wehave been hosting for years, they might teach this joke of an army some tactics other than tough talk.

Pukhtoon dynamic makes it very difficult for us.

You merely need to enlighten yourself with couple of BBC or CNN documentries where they show how ANA force are expert in Bacha bazi and shooting their own civilians dead under influence of drugs. You cant build a professional force when it was put together by Americans to serve their own interest. A professional force is built upon moral values and with social roots not bunch of hired militias who need money to smoke hashish.

Bombardment will stop as soon as afghans will stop pushing indians spies into our territory. As long as afghans are indian stooges and helping them kill pakistanis untill then you wont see any peace as well.
