Sir , you need to take it easy , in a war or even a battle Gun will never win it , nor will sitting in the box giving orders & isolating yourself from your soldiers , Azam khan here was not in the Field of fire , He was not giving orders standing in front of his men , He was at a safe Distance , a Distance good enough to keep the morals of Soldiers high & yet being safe enough that a stray bullet will not hit you.
He did not get shot , it was a RPG shrapnel Fire in desperation from terrorists. you need to give Credit where it is Due , a Great mind with a Weak body is useless & so is a Strong body with weak mind.
Everyone has their own leadership style , they know the best way they can lead , we are no one to criticize until we are in their shoes , in case of Death of a Leader Proxys are always there, You sir are only looking at one side of the picture while ignoring the other one.
we are really dragging this issue too far. I also had some misgivings of his actions .. but only because of the danger of him getting killed. I am not questioning his morale and his courage.
there is not enough information if he had a gun and was running along with the commandos and got injured in the process or was on the scene behind cover and keeping an eye on the situation and got injured somehow.the claim of taking three bullets is not backed up by other reports. maybe it was a shrapnel, but its established he was injured.
I dont accept the assumption that since base defences were inadequate so he joined in as well to defend. he would have come all the way from home for all we know, he was not on guard duty at 2:30 in the morning was he? and that wont have done any good anyway. but if indeed the base defences are really as bad as suggested by few members then bravo to the commander and the sepoy who together foiled the attack of the trained terrorists.
the concern that I share with some members is that the Sepoy was on his own for 15 minutes engaging the terrorist? maybe the reports are in fragments and not complete. there must have been a rapid reaction force on duty at base that is meant to respond in about half of this time (pure assumption based on where the team sits and the size of the base + incident distance from the team).
the real person to celebrate indeed is that young sepoy.
Mister living in an illusion,
This officer had over a year to make his plans for security for this base---the third rate standards that you have set for yourself and for your country---no reason why you can't get out the sh-it hole that you are stuck in.
If you have no question on what he did---then you have no right living as a pakistani---. You are the curse that pakistan has---you are the tragedy that the nation pakistan has to bear----.
Easy tiger
we all have different mental capacity and grasp of everything in life. dont force him to think like yourself because he cant and he wont. give him another 20 or 30 years then maybe he will understand where Khan Lala was coming from. by then he will be telling his younger generation from his life experiences.
you are bullying the kids here, this must stop
dont be so condescending if they dont get you, they wont speak up and wont question, and that will be a loss. this attitude of elders is very counter-productive, we slap first and answer later (that too if we feel like it).
by the way third rate security worked out fine. the terrorists sucked @ss due to the heroics of a Sepoy and an ageing commander. you say what if next time the attackers come 10 fold?
I say bring it on TTP biatches, we will be ready with helicopter gunships, Machine-gun posts and 5 more sepoys like Asif.
The weapons and gadgets in hand of PAF/Soldier shown the preparedness of the PAF/Army.
G3 in hand that's it no other thing/gadget etc with the soldier!
And bravo to the Sepoy what he managed to do with it.
hopefully the guard towers and posts will have other weapons and equipment as well. if not? then lets hope we still have other Sepoy's like Asif.
