Solomon in our neighborhood you need a strong empowered army otherwise we would get eaten.
We are bordering Iran, Afghanistan and India who are hostile in some form or another.
We have no option but to empower the army for our own safety.
You know how the Indians are like, they will neither live or let live.
Are you sure the last line of your post is justifiable? Our post-independence history tells a different story. For a change, just let us live once peacefully, and then see whether we let you live peacefully or not. Problem is; your military establishment doesn't want peace for their own benefit.
I don't believe Pakistani soldiers would cross the LoC just to stir up a fire-fight for the sake of it or even RISK being captured and interrogated.
Cross firings from fortified positions within bounds - sure that happens all the time no big deal. But to actually accuse us of crossing the LoC and ambushing indian soldiers -- engaging them - then just leaving casually......
I DONT BUY IT.
WHERE IS THE VERIFICATION THAT D.M. ANTONY IS REFERRING TO? Go public!
Pakistani soldiers would cross the LoC to stir up a fire-fight if their generals order that. And the generals would order that to protect their own interest, it is not just for the sake of it.
Pakistan military establishment along with ISI is the most powerful & influential body in Pakistan, and they derive all their power, influence, and a fair share of Pakistan's GDP because of the enmity with India. They need to protect the existence of "India Threat" to protect their God-like position in Pakistan.
And that's why you will see whenever there is an effort to improve Indo-Pak relationship by their respective civilian Governments; something will be done to sabotage it. You may deny that, but that is how we see it.
Waisee AZ Bhai, doesn't it beggar belief that we're able to have the faculty of mind to cross over undetected & do what we did & yet we were sloppy enough to not consider 'Oi eik tou reh giyaa haii' & 'Bodies ka kiya karein' ? 
Even my younger friend, a Cadet at Kakul, was like - Beraa gharaaak.....even we have the brains to know not to do this & yet somehow our seniors by a few years & many...many engagements & professional exercises are thought to be absolute dimwits by the enemy !
Indo-Pak borders are heavily protected, but not full-proof against incursions, terrorists do sneak in across the borders. Indian soldiers were patrolling the area when they were ambushed. During peace-time, patrolling is done on a periodic basis, may be once in a day, week, or month, and more or less on a set path. Pakistani Army watched the patrolling for weeks or months, planned an ambush on a suitable spot few hundred meters across LoC, and executed it. What is so unbelievable about it? In any case, somebody has killed our soldiers, PA or terrorists. So, if you are saying PA is incapable of doing that, then you are suggesting that terrorists are more capable than trained PA soldiers.
And PA soldiers were not sloppy enough to not consider 'Oi eik tou reh giyaa haii' & 'Bodies ka kiya karein', actually they didn't have enough time for all these. They did a quick ambush and went back fast.
Whenever this "Aman Ki Asha" happens; we know that something bad will happen. Very unfortunate.
As for the judgement , you already passed it in your earlier posts whilst accusing others of ' believing things blindly ' .
Easier said than done , since the politicians do not appear to take lessons from their own past rules and do not mend their ways . By the time , they are ready to be kicked out in election , the country's almost on its knees . Pakistan just wants one thing from NATO - to seal the Durand line to some extent so it can operate in the tribal areas with an assurance that its efforts will not in futility . Why did the need to interfere in Afghanistan again , even arise ? Because last time , your nation left us all in the mess and went back to Washington to celebrate its victory against Communists and the dissolution of U.S.S.R. . With the anti-Pakistan forces again looking to create problems , we had to do something to prevent a hostile neighborhood . This , is the continuity of the conflict which started in the 80's . Moral Equivalent of American founding fathers , wouldn't you say , are the same people fighting the coalition in Afghanistan . The myth of strategic depth is very old and without any single statement , a friendly Govt in Kabul is all want . Actually , we tried our best to stabilize the situation in that country , even in good ol days of 90's , by getting the American founding fathers equivalent to sign Peshawar Accords , the last attempt before regional players pulled in and Islamabad had to take care of its interests .
