why even send the soldiers?
test our god damn drones out here, or just send the airforce to bomb any suspected terrorist position.

 

[JonAsad]

coz if they dont fight they will remain inexperience.

experience in terms of training and maturity- with 5-6 years we got to have lot of those battle hardened soldiers- where are they?-

that cant help if the terrorists are dug in deep...

 

[JonAsad]

Not to mention the morale boost and propaganda victory it provides to the terrorists, when they kill so many elite soldiers.

thats the whole point- morale booster for them and discouraging for our soldiers-

dont know when we will rid of those "Bad Planning" arm chair retard generals-

believe me! Blaming and name calling the generals , whom the soldiers look up to, is counterproductive for the morale and espirit de corps of the soldiers!

 

[ShahidT]

elections can't come soon enough. we need a fundamental policy shift as soon as possible before american withdrawal. es masle ka aur koi hal nahi hai. for whatever reason the corps commanders don't feel like intervening in that aspect of foreign policy, obviously with something in mind.

that cant help if the terrorists are dug in deep...

these dogs won't be able to dig deep once you remove the reason or justification, however twisted, for them to fight. the tribes will recognize them for the roaches that they are.

Local and official sources told The Frontier Post that after the massive displacement from Tirah Valley, the security forces have launched a full fledge military offensive with SSG and local Amn Lashkar volunteers along side the security forces to root out the strong bases of banned out fit of TTP from the restive valley.

"The forces are backed by gunship and jet planes," official said on the condition of anonymity adding that the forces were quite near to seize the area completely.

A complete hogwash that they are properly backed by gunships and jet fighters. If they were, than how come a complete unit (46 soliders) wiped out including 2 majors. Not only killed, even terrorists had time to mutilate their bodies.

Where is ISPR? why haven't they properly briefed Media yet? Quick to blame Media yet no one sees the useless role play by ISPR

Inna lillahi wa'inna ilayhi raji'oon

experience in terms of training and maturity- with 5-6 years we got to have lot of those battle hardened soldiers- where are they?-

surely in planning such an operation they would have had to make painstakingly difficult decisions. a balance between the seasoned, well versed to bring success, and enough younger ones to build experience whilst bringing a different perspective.

also whom can they afford to put where? may sound clinical and cold hearted, but theres so many other areas they may be needed given how deeply the virus has spread, that perhaps 'preserving' the more experienced or specialized was factored into their calculations?

then there's tip offs to the enemy. you're effectively also fighting against american intelligence that's already neck deep in everything here. just so many variables to consider at once, that I'd hardly blame the army for how it was planned or panned out on ground.

3 troops, 30 militants killed in Tirah

See the depressing pic in above link which shows how our soldiers are sent to their own death. Then we say why every ambush comes with so much fatalities from Pak Army. When you send your soldiers in pickups and trucks with open roofs in an area of high peaks or vantage points how could you expect them to survive?
