Just a lil hint.

Sir, the forum team has moved you to the 'Professionals' group to reflect your security/COIN experience.

I meant to do this a few months ago when I first read about your experience, but got distracted.

If you like, perhaps you could PM the Admins (Webmaster, Asim Aquil and myself) some more non-revealing details of your experience that we could share with the Think Tank members.

Thanks.

Sorry mate, didn't notice the post on my wall. I am not too much into this whole Kashmir and Punjab issue to begin with hence I wouldn't know much about it. If you ever need help on things such as terrorism, economics, WoT, etc, don't hesitate.

Hey there, Well I am here for the past 2 month active.... Well I got mad at banning a few Co fellows of mine for no Mistake of theirs,I was back after being told that there ban will be made temporary

Hi,

I enjoy reading your posts.

Regards.

Interesting to know that you are on active service. No wonder you are so composed even when speaking to a lot of amateur defence enthusiasts online. I am not very knowledgeable about the intensity of sectarian violence in your country, though they seem to be quite unsettling from news reports. What startles me is the limited response of your civilian government compared to the eagerness of your armed forces to quell this threat.

Is this primarily due to political involvement of far right political parties? Because whether having any political stand, by slowing down your military's response to these militants, these parties are only making it worse for your own nationals. The coming decade is going to be extremely crucial in terms of how your government and armed forces tackle these militant organizations and their moles in some of your official positions who try to undermine the security forces' efforts. The sectarian disruptions as you mentioned, are just a kind of time borrowing process for regrouping and re-arming once sufficient resources have been availed for continuing their efforts. I would be of the opinion to move your forces to open up military-sponsored schools in very underprivileged regions where children are taught to be constructive and productive to the nation instead of allowing themselves to be carried away by militant ideologies.

That education especially when provided to youngsters between 8 to 20 years age can have tremendous impact on changing the course of this war in the coming decade. Since your government does not seem to be finding any right corners to turn straight, I think the onus is simply upon your armed forces to demand more funds for non-combat operations such as opening up schools and seminars for young children to be taught national dedication and proper non-religious education of science, business, mathematics and other such matters which will totally subdue any budding militant tendencies in the youth at an early age.

As much as I hate to undermine free democracy when compared to military rule or dominance, there is very limited option and very limited acting bodies other than armed forces in your country at the moment that can take visible steps to win this was psychologically first. A psychological victory gained right now by pushing youngsters and teenagers in rural and semi-arid areas away from religious fundamentalism would automatically mean having won half of this war.

The militants would be dry of potential fresh recruits leading to distrust and warring among themselves, gradually making the job of your security forces easier.

I know Pakistan is a conservative society, but separating religion from studies and common thinking is the only way left. The idea of keeping religion as a private communication between oneself and God and not to be brought out of the four walls has to be encouraged to allow modern and open thinking among semi-literate and rural population.

Hallo freund, yes I have been a bit busy oflate due to balancing family life with professional life and my life on internet. However, I am aware of some happenings in the defence world through some of my colleagues back from Swiss Army.

How have you been? Has situation improved any bit at your place?

sorry if it hurt u in any manner.
i was just angry at the way you presented 'india muslims being the carriers of jihad and terrorism' and i didnt mean to intend my statement at you. Its just that i love my brothren and couldnt hold myself back.
though i've been reading this forum for long but cudnt get to know you and thats my mistake.
again sorry if it hurt you.

THanks bro.

Your welcome, Anytime!

According to the posts i read here,he died in a bomb blast,in a market place in Karachi.

The sectarian violence seems to be taking root now from the floods that have left a vacuum. I still don't see your government adhering to any concrete measures to stop these terrorists. And by concrete I mean not sending troops but rather work from grass root levels. It is crucial that work is done at this level in terms of banning madrassas and profiling all the so called godmen and preachers at mosques. Keep ID tags on them and have their backgrounds registered in every police station, especially if the mosque is in a semi-rural or rural region.

Have a Council regulate and keep ministerial level exams for those who want to be men of God.

Unless and until these measures are done alongside the military attacks, the latter are only buying time for more chaos later.

Hello there. I just had to cut my trip very short which was meant for 3 days to 4 hours. I landed at the airport, went straight to work and returned back. There was a security advisory issued to me telling me the exact same things that you have told. I must thank you for your timely advise much before the UN or my home country issuing the statements.

I hope you stay safe. I heard that there have been waves of fresh blasts in some parts of your country. Please exercise caution.
