Talk numbers..more than half our fighter fleet is less than 10-15 years old.

Thanks for posting. Before the general is condemned with the usual, people should pay heed to some of this. It cannot be all wrong. Some missteps were costly, some immature and some outright stupidity.

I can guarantee that if the army was deployed to the polling stations and the elections had any issues, the very same crowd that is decrying army's refusal would launch another massive tirade of "jernails this and that..." I understand that PDM dhandli is an issue, but army too is in a no-win...

Poland spending to protect all of Western Europe. The Brits, French and Germans all sit smug knowing that Poland is the front-line state. So sell them everything...

Same as the IAF. Actually PAF fleet is relatively newer than IAF's.

Because we are trying to manage a situation which is supported by external players. If you want roots to be pulled then you either need to remove the external support or make peace with the external entities and make the ones with the guns happy. All easier said than done.

EJKs have happened under every single "democratically elected" government including PTI's. So let's not try to make it look like it's the "establishment". Local police actions result in EJKs all the time. The entire operation Clean-up in Karachi by Police, Rangers in BB's time and afterwards...

No, EJK have been used against MQM, dacoits in Sind/Punjab so give this ethnic card a break. Don't recall any of you crying over that.

As if the external support for these elements had nothing to do with the military and police being inducted for operations in the first place...

Its called mowing the grass... When the weeds get long, you need to cull them. Same applies to counter-insurgency. At one point, you have to tire out the insurgency with attrition afflicted upon it. Then only can they get back to talks. That is all the military is for. You cannot...

The Pakistani POV is that your local Indian laws are not applicable or acceptable in a territory that is considered an international dispute. The reality is that Pakistan does not care about the local India laws and even the special status granted to IOK. However its revocation has...

Good for you that you had to do a popularity contest for people in their death.

No chance of Pak "denuclearizing" anytime soon iA. We need to discard this thinking entirely. We ate grass to get it, you think a single person will give this capability up now? Indians will do what they can in Baluchistan because for as long as the Kashmir issue is alive, they need a way to...

Good man! My father went exactly 160km deeper inside India than his student, Musharraf! :-)

They are the single largest tax payers in Pakistan. Some may say their tax bracket should be higher...up to the government, but they pay their taxes to the national coffer without delay. What is lost on people is that our foundations soften the blow on the government by not relying on it for...

Keep on keeping on...

Clearly a sane discussion cannot happen here. Keep on keeping on!

Thank god for Military Inc! If Military Inc. wasn't around, our defense budget would be competing with KSA's ~ 6.5% if not higher.

You have to go by what the host country tells you. Unfortunately, our awam just needs an excuse to criticize. What if the Syrian government told Pakistan to wait to see what they needed and when?

Tau aap personally jaa kay airfields secure karain gay Syria may so our Hercs can land? :-) Favorite Pakistani pastime...critique zindabad!
