They are not militias but Private Military Companies (basically mercenaries) who make tons of money wherever they go.
They are not 100 percent Americans either, many are retired soldiers of other countries who come there just to make big money.
Let their govt throw them in dungeons or hand them over to other countries for money and let's see how long they maintain their loyalty. And as I said earlier, they are not militias fighting for an ideology but mercenaries who fight for govt contracts to make cash.
I am not necessarily talking about the present day when I say that they have fought and bled for us.
And I am not necessarily talking about the Pakistani ones...
Our brothers fighting in IOK are not secular either, be it Burhan Wani, Sabzar Bhat, Bashir Lashkari or Riaz Naiko, they are, what people here would describe as "rabid mullahs" just because they refuse to conform to the Western ideals.
As long as they are fighting the Indians, they are freedom fighters...As soon as their use is over, these secular patriots will declare them rabid mullahs.
The brothers in IOK fighting are fighting for
Azadi braye Islam as they themselves claim. By calling anyone who disagrees with the suicidal policy of accepting Israel a rabid mullah, we are not doing ourselves any favor.
We don't have much to gain by fulfilling this fetish of establishing relations with Israel. Except creating a further divide in our society.
Easier said then done.
Ask the seculars to fight in alien lands on behest of Pak govt. Let's see how many of these self proclaimed patriots show up.
