Lack of Advance gunship / lack of initiative and Heavy response against Afghanistan it has been stated before Pakistan should occupy and absorb Afghanistan

This region is a snake hole and only way to end is a Ground offensive

2 soldiers martyred in attack on Pak-Afghan border checkpost: ISPR
Dawn.com Updated November 13, 2017


At least two soldiers were martyred and four others injured in a suspected militant attack on a checkpost near the Pak-Afghan border in Bajaur Agency on Monday, according to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement.

"Terrorists from [the] Afghanistan side attempted [an] attack on Pakistani posts along [the] Pak-Afghan border in Bajaur Agency. The attempt was effectively responded killing 8-10 fleeing terrorists while many seen running back [were] injured," ISPR said.

The martyred soldiers were identified as Capt Junaid Hafeez and Sepoy Raham.

"The absence of Afghan [state] writ on [the] Afghan side of the border, like many other areas, facilitate terrorists to undertake such attempts," ISPR said.

The incident comes days after a similar attack on a checkpost at the border in Rajgal Valley left one sepoy martyred.

The ISPR in August had announced the conclusion of Khyber-4 Operation in Khyber Agency which included clearing the areas on the Pakistani side of the border.

Pakistan began fencing the Pak-Afghan border earlier this year to prevent terrorists from crossing into the country from Afghanistan.

The two countries accuse the other of harbouring their militant enemies — both deny the other's charges.

Earlier this month, during a Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs briefing, Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua maintained that terror groups are not functioning in Pakistan, but operating from across the Pak-Afghan border.

"In Afghanistan, 45 per cent of the country is not under government control, which is why the Haqqani network and other terror groups do not need a safe haven in Pakistan," she said, repeating the state's new refrain on cross-border terrorism.

There's a big difference between being attacked at a checkpoint and being killed while advancing on a border. Why would you regurgitate an unconfirmed social media post making Pakistani soldiers out as possible invaders and aggressors?

whenever our soldiers get shahadat in the line of duty majority of our political leaders dont even say anything . they just ignore the news. our so called religious mullahs also stay quite most of the time. sometimes it seems that our politicians feel happy when some soldier loses his life. i can say this with quite surety about traitors like achakzae, mullah diesel etc. players like ahmad shahzad got reward of about 1 crore rs from the govt for doing sh*t n champions trophy. what the families of real heroes will get? just talking about the priorities of the nation.

This is not acceptable, I know we are in a ongoing operation but I feel that we can do better to protect our soldiers.

You do know this is just what India wants. A second front opened and that would be Pakistan's Western border, because India itself has opened two fronts against Pakistan and China.

The good thing is that Afghanistan can never be as damaging to Pakistan in an open war as China can be to Pakistan.

We'll invade under the guise of " Helping US & NATO " Should be fairly easily

Invading Afghanistan is simply impossible reason number one ,
ISAF and NATO forces plus sanctions
If they don't care or leave Afghanistan,
INDIA invades the eastern border, Pakistani army already short on men would be in a dire position, even if the local pashtun population of Afghanistan helps us , they'd be considerable resistance from the rest.
The only possible way is that ( this also has a very very minute realistic chance, ) Pakistan forces India to surrender , makes her sign a modern anagulous of the treaty of Versailles and then uses all its manpower on Afghanistan , occupy cities, the south would be easy considering the pashtun are somewhat sympathetic to Pakistan, but occupation of northern parts would require force, and before all this some agreement should have been made with Turkmenistan, China and importantly Iran
