You guys have to get off this high horse of no 1 this and no 2 that, trust me they are no way near tops in anything. If they were then we wouldnt have 10000 of shaheeds fighting 2000 talibans.
Pak Army rank & file comes from the same society as rest of the country. It is our misfortune that PTI leadership are ready to fight NATO forces because of their deep love for the Taliban murderers. Others such as JI & JUI even decline to call anyone dying in fighting against Taliban butchers Shaheed. Even ex Army Generals such as the bigot Hamid Gul has had close contacts with Taliban. Hamid Gul was one of the few Pak Army officers invited to Kabul by the Taliban regime of Mulla Omer.
Pray tell me, under such polarization; , how can ordinary jawan of Pak Army fight against Taliban scums? He could be thinking that Pak Army is fighting America’s war.
This lack of will was evident when two fully armed companies (300 soldiers including officers) allowed themselves to be captured by bunch of rag tag Taliban led by then 28 year old Hakimullah Mehsud back in 2007. Attempt on Musharraf’s life, attacks on GHQ, on PNS Mehran and on PAF Kamra had involvement of either serving or ex services personnel. Gen Kayani has correctly identified that primary danger to Pakistan is from within.
I don’t claim Pak Army to be anywhere among top fighting forces in the world. But I would humbly state that Pak Army’s record against Taliban is not a true reflection of their fighting ability. Abysmal record of Pak Army against Taliban is direct result of the confusion spread among Pakistanis by naïve leaders such Imran Khan and anti Pakistani Munawwar Hassan.
