For Bakis, loss of cannon fodder and territory does not matter as much as the loss of ecchh&dee.
This is why we can carry out all covert ops and kill all piglets that we may, Bakis will continue as usual, because not going public preserves their echh&dee. They will pretend that nothing changed and continue their crooked ways.
A public humiliation such as Abbottabad, Surgical strikes etc are the ones which put them in the real cleft- how do they face the mango abdul and ayesha, whom they suck dry in the name of diffaa, imaan, daawa, jihad fi sabiillah?
It is reported that post-Abbottabad, Kayani was often shouted upon by his junior officers, though we did not come to know if it till he had retired. Post-retirement, he was stopped from travelling to Ausieland as well. I'll not be surprised, if grumblings of discontent are already there in TSPA against the Bad Shareef.
A public humiliation forces Bakis to change tactics and being idiots that they are they'll come up with something that will make sense tactically, but strategically will be a blunder.
The more we hit them, the more public we should make it.
