Congratulations ANTIBODY, quite a few of us owe a large chunk of our military knowledge to your enlightening posts.

The Millennium Challenge being mentioned took place over 9 years; are we to assume a nation that has a military budget that is larger than the GDP of very many nations would sit around for the last decade and not counter these issues? More importantly, in war footing, the US Navy will simply...

Ah good sir, who's planning on paying it back? It is beneficial for Zardari today, Musharaff before him, and Nawaz and Benazir in the 90s...they take loans, pocket most of it, relying on the instability of Pakistan, which topples the government every few years, before the impact of repayment can...

There can never be real peace in Afghanistan due to a government with vested interests. The US put in place a government made up of the same kind of people they are fighting against, the difference is simply in what each side believes is right. Karzai has alienated much of the nation and could...

Pakistan's reaction to the NATO attack has shown a surprising amount of competence. The American strength has always been in controlling the outflow of information. The Pakistani reaction, whether an overemotional action or one inspired by politics, was instant. By presenting our side of the...

I don't see that happening simply because the US faces no real foe...the delay in the f-35 is analogous to a wider US movement towards a slower process of induction of newer machines, whether they maybe in the navy, air force, or army. Without the sense of urgency that comes with impending...

The inadequacy of Pakistani infrastructure, as had been alluded to for years by many, has finally begun to take a paralyzing toll on our economy. We don't produce anywhere near the electricity needed to fuel a growing nation, our water distribution is pathetic, our law and order system functions...

I traveled on PIA's 777 when they were first inducted and then again last December and the difference was striking. From the outside, even an untrained eye could notice a...well...general lack of maintenance as far as the appearance was concerned. Inside, it was a complete disaster; the...

East Pakistanis made just as great sacrifices as the West Pakistanis to help create the nation, only to be treated as second class citizens. They were shunted aside, and overlooked and were never given fair national representation...they represented the majority of the population, but instead...

What does it tell us about Pakistan when everyone feels embarrassed of the actions of our leadership , regardless of where all of us stand on the spectrum of US-Pak relations. There is a need for swift change in the direction our leadership is headed in. I have never heard of a leader as...

In this convoluted war of shifting alliances, one gets the sense that the average American soldier sees no difference between the terrorists and Pakistanis...whether it is the Pakistani army or a terrorist crossing over, we seem to have been caught in a vast net cast in regards to cultural...

Seriously guys, when will we stop taking potshots at each other. If one has nothing good to say, then its often better to stay quiet. Don't know why we feel good by insulting others. The common poverty stricken Pakistani will not feel better about his life just because the Indian economy has hit...

May I add, as another who is constantly labelled as a liberal, any divergence of opinion from the concept of the Islamic Republic puts a person in the liberal camp according to many. It is not the religion I oppose, considering myself a proud Muslim, but its the involvement of that religion in...

The shift to pan-islamic ideology, in my opinion had a lot to do with Pakistan's inability to accept where it's heritage really did lay. We were a nation carved out of India, yet in our need to justify our very existence, Islam became the calling card. What was the point of Pakistan existing if...

Well that is where the "self-pity" the article mentions, comes into play. Pakistan tends to act as if the world is based on some fair democratic system when it comes to it's dealings with superior nations. When dealing with Afghanistan and our local problems, we do anything and everything we...

I think you completely missed what Notorious Eagle was implying there. Also, I have yet to see a post where Santro doesn't have a whole host of sources backing up his claims, you are treading on dangerous ground...at least as far as your weak argument is concerned.

This always seems to be a source of confusion or a safe haven for those that want to underrate the ability of our older fighters. Employing western terminology to label a plane as merely a 3rd or 4th generation platform means nothing to a developing nation. For the Americans it may make sense...

You know, I am very much illiterate in the realm of engineering and technology in general, but even I find the Iranian logic flawed. How does one reverse engineer a product and then produce a superior version without access to superior tech.? Do the Iranians have superior engines? Or sensors? Or...

Isn't it crucial that PAF pilots are today finally getting excess to tech. the rest of the world was honing in the 90s? The sanctions may have irreparably damaged our standing relative to the nations we claim to be superior to. One cannot, in good conscious, claim PAF pilots are better than IAF...

My good sir, you have twisted history into oblivion. World War II victory was a direct result of US involvement. Before ever getting directly involved, they provided huge amounts of supplies, military and humanitarian, that allowed the British to keep fighting. Once they declared war, they did...
