Very valid point that you guys have made...Mind it i am not a war mongerer and i want peaceful co-existence with our neighbours.... I know when it comes to India and Pak emotions run high....Anyways lets look at other figures as well...The number of people who have died in Kashmir(civilians and Armed forces) and the kind of money we have spent in past 2 decades....Also please share with me one single reason that you guys think this will stop in next 2 decades??? Just look at the cost of raising a terrorist vs grooming an officer....
I have a very simple question...Why are we spending so much on our Armed forces if we cannot even save our men dying every now and then??? I know the solution i am proposing is insane(in fact it is not even a solution) but then is there a solution???? Is what we are doing the right step???? Imagine the king of distress the Jawan has to go while on duty and his/her family after he is killed by some fanatic eager to reach heaven...and now complement it with a fact that a meagre amount of money can raise several thousands of such pigs no matter how many you shoot down...Just yesterday our Armed forces said that terror infrastructure is still in tact....Do you see any hope in its dismantling if it hasn't happened even under such circumstances????
Anyways seems like my post has angered and disappointed a few members..So let me clarify...What i said is that i would prefer a limited conflict over a proxy war any time as tragedy in one go is better than a prolonged tragedy...This way both the armies can decide who is the boss of Kashmir...It was a hypothetical wish far from reality... I hope i made myself clear...
Thanks....
No one has been angered friend.. Each one of us feels as distressed hearing about the death of even one of our brave ones. And kicking a$$ seems to be the best option. But then what next. ? A limted war may not destroy that infrastructure as well. As a matter of fact, do you think that limited war will cause more damage to Pakistan than what their own citizens are doing. And thats the cost Pakistan is paying for raising those terrorists. Being a IT guy, I love the term: Total Cost of Ownership(TCO). Its not just the cost at which you buy the hardware but also the running cost of keeping that hardware in your data center. In case of these terrorists, Pakistan is able to raise them at a negligable cost, but the running cost of keeping them is extremely high and is so visible over last couple of years...
