May be gurkhas are fearless enough to engage taliban like this but as for as i know pakistani faujis try to avoid engaging taliban in direct combat, as there are always heavy casaulties in direct gun to gun battle, terrain is always helpful to taliban...the focus is on artillary shelling and tanks, gunship helicopters and back up of air force when taliban are offering very tough resistance....due to this fear of death in faujis, TTP darely attacks posts of army on mountains, ambushes caravans on road....As for as SSG commandos are concerned, they were used against taliban but ended up killed in surprisingly large numbers, now they are not used that much. Taliban themeselves are like commandos, infact more tough and sharp due to mountains being their home turf.
Aim of a fauji is to not get killed while aim of a taliban is to kill....army has not been able to defeat taliban because they are not natural predators like taliban, they are pre-occupied about returning safely to their families.
A muslim like Pakistani Fauji is always hesitant to kill other muslim and would only kill him in self defense.
