We can always do better no doubt. We can always equip them better … absolutely.
But no army can ever win a guerrilla war no matter how much fire power, equipment and resources they get. At the end of the day we have to accept humble pie and sit down and negotiate ….
did USA/NATO win in Afghanistan?
Saudis in Yemen ?
Israelis in Gaza?
Americans in Vietnam?
No standing army have ever won a single gurilla war ….. name one power that ever did.
It is flat out retardant behaviour to blame the generals when I am sure they don’t want to see their soldiers die needlessly.
you harping 24/7 against the entire leadership of our army plays right in the hands of anti Pakistan narrative.
As they say for every attack that is successful there are 10 they managed to spoil.
unfortynately given the terrain, politics, culture and poverty there is no solution in sight anytime soon.
I am Not discussing or judging on this subject, but man keep your logic straight.
US Nato, Saudi, Israel all fought on foreign soil against locals of another country.
This is Pakistani Land with Pakistan army doing operation against insurgents in its own legal territory. What is there to compare?.
Comparison should be like Sri Lankan army against Tamils or Chinese PLA in Xinjiang or Indian Army in Indian Punjab or Turkish army Against Kurdish Militants. And all of them more or less defeated the insurgencies or neutralized them.
Dynamics , Intensity , Objectives , Strategy and progresd of this war is a different subject though. But Gorilla wars are won and Insurgencies are neutralized around the world successfully.
