Criticize the tactics/strategy all you want, don't make it personal.

You need to think sometimes before posting and shooting from the hip. This was a hostage rescue situation and not a clearance operation where you bring firepower from above to raze the buildings to the ground with the occupants inside. Your personal attacks on myself and other members betray...

Do you see the video of the officers observing the footage on the hand-held? It is coming from UAV feed. The army is filled with countless div and bde commanders who absolutely care for their boys and are with them during operations. The above video was not published by ISPR, it is from a...

Those in the know understand the solution is not due to "not providing weapons and MRAPs". That is just a small tactical part that certainly can help save lives on the move. However, this is a raid against a built up camp of the FC from across the border. In static positions, troops cannot...

Our crude police filling arrest quotas..so they can tell their bosses they arrested a lot of "shar-passand".

SSG would refuse this duty. No way the SSG would want to get involved in this mess. The troops clearly look to be from Police and Rangers AT teams.

Let's be a little reasonable here. Just because you are for PTI and want to protest against IK's illegal detention does not mean that protestors will be allowed in all areas including residential areas in all cantonments specially when there is a risk of damage, destruction etc. We clearly...

All the more the reason for Pakistanis to not want any of our friends to help. Appnay log are more than capable of managing the situation on the ground and offering humble pie to the establishment.

Multiple casualties....so no! Equipment is American M-16s/M-4 carbines, so clearly Afghan ANA stocks supplied to the TTP. I am not sure what "highly trained" vs. not trained here is. Anyone looking to attack an FC position has time on their side to train. TTP has plenty of real estate and...

China should stay out of our fray...we need to learn to fix things on our own. We should stop bringing China and the US into our internal affairs. The fact that we expect is why the latter is more actively involved.

I think the truth of the matter is somewhere in the middle. You can't just prance in, drop your resignation and walk out in fauj. So I believe the talk of refusal to carry out illegal orders, but I do not think people are resigning their commissions enmass. Depending on how cold or hot things...

Regardless of political agenda, chivalry requires men remain above these base accusations. 24:4 should be a reminder.

Can you please not try to stir up the pot..I'd like to see any of your tees-maar-khan generals or you yourself showing bravado in front of the mob when your family is exposed to the threat of the mob. That the Army has miscalculated is one thing, all you see is the general trying to pacify the...

Beyond saving and "complete overhaul" are oxymoronic :-) ...everything is salvageable. The foundations (rank and file) of the army are solid, with good people. The leadership has been politicized and corrupted. I felt, as many here did as well, that post Bajwa, the incumbent would take a...

I agree. While I have always supported the army for long and still do on the professional side, I think it was absolutely a must for the army to see the street power of the people. They needed to see this deterrence in action so they know that it's not their way (absolutely unlawful) or the...

Yara, you are taking the establishment too lightly. These people have a lot of #2 harbay. You need to look beyond this tactical win for IK/PTI. What is to happen in the coming days and weeks? Nothing has changed in mindset of PDM/Establishment wrt holding elections, providing a level playing...

Tactics being applied for suppression are at least a decade behind current times. You need a system in place which would facilitate all of the above. I agree with the political lens being applied to above but purely from a military perspective, #4 has been tried and not found to be practical...

Sidebar, Maj Adil, Col Akbar et-al will be looked upon as men of honor (they have retained their reputation) for their running commentary throughout these crises. The former actually is an endearing chap. Creating bakvas cases is the expertise of our LEAs. So far so good though with the SC...

Preserving their "democratic credentials" for the future so they can say "look, we never sided with aamriat when it took action against PTI, we were always for democracy" etc. etc. All these two-faced ******** have to do is to tell the establishment to backoff and hold elections if they truly...

Hope you realize that like in India, most of our cantonments have more civilians than uniformed personnel living/working in them so this concept of divide isn't really a reality. It's the same for DHAs. While everyone abuses DHAs, most of the people living inside of DHAs are civilians...
