Aside the article... yes, what you state is an ideal world. Why just a soldier? Every man in this world should be a thorough gentleman, right? But the world is not so ideal. A small percentage of people from all walks of life, in all sorts of occupations, are found to be just as dirty and...

So this is how a conspiracy theory works: The boy in the picture is Gul Mudin from Maywand District in Afghanistan. Picture is of Spc Jeremy Morlock who became famous last year for being part of the group of US Army soldiers, who liked to call themselves "Kill Team", and were led by Sgt...

Unless he can speak it flawlessly, he shouldn't just touch it. It sounds rather irritating making such cheap and shallow efforts when talking about matters so grave. However, if he were as good as Robert Blackville (US amb to India - he spoke better Hindi than majority of educated Indians), it...

I think that line came after the breaking of the CoC. Prior to that, whenever under fire from the ally forces, the post had to seek orders from above whether to fire back at the ally forces, because if the case were same as you state, then chances are it would have already blown to a full scale...

See iPhone, I have not ever talked about whether NATO attack was a deliberate action, or just a mistake. I am trying to put forth a point that does not go along with the sentiments of the majority in here. Having cleared that, I want you to consider this: In what war, have there not been...

Man, if someone had a gun to your head and said: "You gotta tell me what's goin' on with that person across the street, there, what they think, who they are, how they feel, or I will kill you"... they'd have to kill you...wouldn't they...? 'Cause you don't have a clue about anyone. ...I don't...

I feel it is rather the Pakistan Army whose stand has been weakened. Those who died were army soldiers. Multiple statements showcasing the rage were quickly issued by the ISPR. The confusion related to coordinates was addressed by the Army. Pakistan's involvement in WoT relates to its Army's...

I agree with your points Raptor, all of them. But what is confusing to me is this:- The troops deployed on the border have the right to defend themselves. If need be, they have the right to seek reinforcements too. Gen. Kayani made a statement that the CoC (Chain of Command) need not be...

Will the out-stationed troops, deployed in the most dangerous of all the areas, be provided with timely reinforcements by the PA and the PAF while thwarting the approaching aggressor?

Pakistan’s absence in Bonn conference won’t make a difference: Kabul As the parliamentary committee on national security endorsed on Friday the federal cabinet’s decision of not attending the Bonn Conference on Afghanistan, a spokesman for Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Islamabad’s...

I so much want India to end up like the USA :D

Pakistan has right to self-defense so does US: Pentagon As a sovereign nation Pakistan has the right to self-defense, so does the US, the Pentagon has asserted amid reports from Islamabad that Pakistan Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani had issued direction that his commanders on the...

Nations are made to serve people, not the other way round.

Some how I am more convinced that it was 300 meters. The border runs through the peaks in that area, and not through the valleys. In the video, the nearest peak line looked barely 200-300 yards away from the check posts, and the next link of peaks, past the valley, appeared about 5 miles away at...

All that for the bold part? I never called anyone a champion of truth. About atrocities during war, they happen everywhere. Tell me a country/race/religion/ethnicity that has remained immune to it. I do not even know why you brought Iraq here. May be you want to show me some specific past...

@Taimi, There's barely any information coming out. I have not discounted any info here. I have believed every single word that came out, anonymous, or official, American, or Pakistani - simply because I want to explore every possibility. Why do I want to explore every possibility - Because...

The second one sounds very plausible to me, with a bit of modification though.. Frequent firings take place on the border between Pakistani and Afghan forces. The Afghans this time hosted NATO forces, that Pakistani side was not aware of. The NATO forces communicated with Pakistani high command...

What is the most convincing piece of argument? A loaded gun. And who's got the bigger gun here? The truth, when in the history of mankind, did the truth ever matter? For all I know, the truth is what we (individually) believe. Anyway, the Americans will also get satellite imagery and data...

This is what the WSJ article says: Apparently, when fired at the copter, the NATO forces went back and communicated with the Pakistani command to ascertain the presence of the troops. Per their claims, after receiving a response in the negative, they took the posts to be those of the...

Those snakes must have found many of their own kinds in those offices... only that, the ones already in the offices are any time more venomous.
