‘while what people like your dad and others in IA are doing are commendable, the point members here are making is that revenge as a response is not adequate. The Pakis are unfazed by loss of foot soldiers. They simply don’t care how many scums we dispatch. Your observations also tell us that we have been at this for more than 50 years now. It simply has not deterred the Porkis enough. IA has to figure out what will deter the porkies to a point where they don’t even dare fire one single bullet across the LoC or cover fire for even a single terrorist. As a major economic power with strong allies around the world, we expect dogs like Pakshitstan to never wag their tails against us. Think about this: let’s say there is a Quad meeting. What if one of the soldiers from a Quad country asks: your soldiers have been killed by a much inferior army? That is a loss of face to us and loss of confidence in our abilities to decidedly take care of our borders. We want to be in big leagues like the UNSC, Quad etc we better deter the Pukistanis forever. The world is watching us. They want us to be powerful and decisive to counter crazies like the Pukis and CCP.
That was just one incident that I narrated.
He and most of his batchmates fresh out of IMA were posted at the border when Pak launched Op. Gibralter. Will try to post pictures of his six man hunting team if he consents to the request.
Can't reveal much but despite our losses, Paki losses even by conservative estimates can be put at 7-10 times ours if we take the non-uniformed ones who were killed in action starting months before declaration of war/hostilities.
He was led by a Kashmiri lad to a Sufi(Sunni) peer who was hiding infiltrators. When Dad and his team confronted him, he feigned ignorance and acted all innocent swearing on his God.
The Kashmiri lad kicked him off the perch he was sitting on, pulled the rug away and revealed a boarded passage underground. It was a small room which was housing infiltrators. They were told to surrender but they started hurling expletives and fired. That was enough for us to lob in grenades till there was complete silence. After emptying a few magazines of stenguns, the 20 piglets were pulled out.
Nothing has changed since my Dad's time or my cousins, friends, seniors, their seniors to this day. You are dealing with a radical maniac who wants you dead. He will keep coming at you even if he is the last Al-Bakistani alive. Hence the saying, a good Paki is a dead Paki. We are Kuffar to the pious and we must be converted or terminated. That is their oath and we can't deny it even if we choose to ignore it for the time being.
Has anything changed for Israel since their creation? They are in a continuous state of war with the Islamists around them. They deal with a largely Shia problem while we deal with a Sunni problem but during Gulf War 1, Saddam Hussain(Sunni) had no qualms lobbing scuds into Israel.
So... back to the Chicken and Egg problem. The last resort is to burn the poultry farm to the ground to give peace a chance.
