... There's no way they can sustain such grave losses bro. What's the head count on these dead commies now? I counted 30! They already have small numbers, but the losses they now sustain, and will continue to will mean the end for them. ...
One thing to keep in mind is
sympathetic recruits.
Even if a couple of relatives of these criminals resorted to
irrational thinking and became hell bent on avenging the loss of their relative. We'd have 2 missing persons replacing the 1 eliminated. Not only relatives, also acquaintances, neignbours, vigilantes, and madrassah students who are told falsified/spiced-up stories of what happened, etc.
This is how they multiplied for past many years.
Drone attacks was one of many intentional methods to reproduce such revengeful lot. Just "
accidently" hit a wedding ceremony, or kill 69 children in a school (
on 30 Oct 2006), etc. under the ruse of targeting criminals. Although we don't have yearly remembrance for those 69 kids as we do for APC incidence, but for their families, that was no less than APC for them. Then the planners spread the word in local madrasas that it was Pakistan's fault (which it was to some extent, and initially Pak took responsibility of the attack on madrassah), and show them
images like this. And we had plethora of revengeful, volunteering against Pakistan and going abroad for training. And you may also remember Pak fauj firing squad in swat killing those tied up teenagers after asking each of them one by one to recite
pehla kalima which they failed to. All such events facilitate those criminals to get more recruits.
So when I read here that we should publicize the pics of dead BRAS folks to deter other criminals, at the same time we should think whether that could be counterproductive, and result in producing more "missing persons"?
