I have a different theory. I believe that many of the troops dont really want to fight the talibaan. It simply means killing and being killed by ones own family members and many of the FC are from the same or nearby areas. It is lot easier to surrender and be ransomed.
I could be totally wrong but only other possibility is that they were cowards. How else a compay surrender to a few talibaan when they have the option to call upon helo gunships for support. Waziristan has therefore already broken Pakistan's back.
Call me a prophet of doom but I can't think of any other plausible reason why a fully armed company will surrender without a fight??
Quite a possibilty. But federal forces not willing to fight even when under military ruler is something thats worrisome.
Wairistan woulldnt break Pakistan's back, but might break away with these FC constulbary deciding to switch sides.
