May I.... IF THEY KNOW WHERE THEY ARE LIVING then why they don't just do a simple drone strike on them I mean they can't even fence a border since 2014 ?All the high IQ Intelligent, analysts & journalists on this thread: What do you observe in regard to Intelligence, response & OP in this picture? Lets question the intel failure later.

Pakistan is lacking on the media war, if you can control perception, you can even have people believe in things which are not true, and then physically act on it, this is what India is desperately trying to do.There is a large difference between insurgencies of TTP and Balochs. The later has a strong ethnic element and it is as old as Pakistan is. It raises it's head time and again. First peak was in 1970s. This need to be tackled very carefully, otherwise it can go totally out of hand. I believe that our Establishment is on right track. While countering the insurgency, we can't alienate a large populace. Since, the operations have to be calibrated carefully, we will have to bear larger number of casualties. Clean-sweep type operations would be counterproductive.
The exact reasons as why people are so clueless about Pakistan Military. Having a British Flat explains as how much do you value money in this regard. The offer is not made service without pay. How much do you risk like your life against that Pay and join the ranks? How much of your family will be ready to endure such pain of loss of son, brother, husband for this pay? How much you dare to lose anything for this pay? My dear friend! talk is cheap like that. Stop being on high horse and taunting our Jawans like this. Don't even bother to explain such of your behaviour.

You continue to believe in holy cows, i will criticise where it is required. We have lost 80,000 people to this war against terrorists and the major reason for that is the failure of political, military and law enforcement leadership. We have not learnt lessons, the same mistakes are made.
Sigh. We are Losing the narrative war.A GBU or Mk-84s are not long lasting solutions. And military solution is also not going to last longer.
That’s a remarkably silly take, with respect. We have in the last 4 decade faces down TWO superpowers in Afghan and gone the dictates of the worlds strongest powers in foreign and security policy, all the while having a worse economy than we have now.I don't usually post on threads that get so many posts so quickly since it is more like Twitter and less like PDF, but I wanted to make an important point that most if not all replies are missing.
Everyone wants:
1. More military resources dedicated to Balochistan.
2. More assertiveness in dealing with Iran.
3. More assertiveness in dealing with UAE.
4. More assertiveness in dealing with India.
5. More socioeconomic development in Balochsitan.
But you know why Pakistan can't do those things to the level of other powerful nations? It's the economy stupid.
Yes we have managed to build a military that punches above its weight in terms of resources. But the nation standing behind it is poor and hungry and has no international clout. In this day and age international clout comes through trade relationships (which come from actually being able to trade).
Do you think Iran and the Arab gulf countries prefer to work with India because of emotional reasons? No. Its economic reasons that trump everything. Why does the world ignore Kashmir? It's the economy stupid.
If we had an economic leg to stand on we could actually have the international clout to do some of the things suggested by members here. If we had a robust economy that the world depended on do you think we wouldn't be hitting our enemies OPENLY wherever they were? Turkey can create a buffer zone in Syria and nobody bats an eye. We like to dream of hitting enemies like Israel but forget how they have the world by the balls and we are in IMF program after IMF program.
It is my opinion that once Pakistan's economy picks up and Pakistan becomes an important trading partner for its neighbors and the west, then Pakistan can be more forceful in the protection of its interest. This is basically what the national security policy is saying but it remains to be seen what effect that has on our state.
Given our current one way economic dependence all we can hope to do is barely operate within our borders (it costs a lot of money to do military operations) and be the nice guy or else the world wont play ball with us.
Conclusion: Get a robust economy. It will help with this among many other things.
