this is what militaries should do. avoid direct confrontation. take out their area commanders (even if they are on holidays or off-duty like Mountbatten was taken down)
They are recruited from nepal and india especially cuz they are gurkhas :/
Ofcourse you are right, physical strength of soldiers hardly matter in today's wars.
this will be off-topic, but they are in a battlezone. They were not guarding offices the first day they entered Afghanistan. (I was talking about British Gurkhas)
anyway, i hope sense prevails and we don't see these incidents in future. If revenge has to be taken...there are more effective ways...
That is offensive.
Anyway, ahoms (same race as gurkhas) defeated the mighty mughals a number of times and chased them away from the brahmaputra valley. So the supposedly "monkey" race infact defeated the martial might of islamic mughals.
BTW, the taliban can give testimonies of the "might"...
come on we are not that naive to believe it is just the saffron terrorists. War between India and pakistan is the aim of both hindu and muslim extermists.
Instead of killing their soldiers, hire assassins to kill their officers off-duty. in this case one of the senior officials of 29 Baloch(?) and put the blame on their extremists.
that would be sane. exchanging shells would not change ground problems
what is the guarantee that Indian response won't result in another revenge attack by pakistan? Another attack would mean more killings. I hope our generals don't believe in an eye for an eye
