@Aceones

you have no idea what you are talking about, you really don’t know how endear people of swat keep army these days. I’ve my very own friends from swat, who have visited the area after operation, and their families live there. this is first hand information

now dont come up with those fake youtube videos men army uniform shooting kids… any one can make those videos very easily

Do not make assumptions. What makes you think I am not from Swat?

In fact you probably know a few token people from Swat. Now it is the most nationalist of all the Pashtun areas. They do not hate the common soldier who just is issued orders. Most people know it was a game that was played. Musharaf, COAS, allowed the game to be played. Army checkposts were even next to Taliban checkposts.

I was never intent on bringing that up but now that you mention it the Pakistan army has only ever shot its own people, rewind 40 years to Banghaldesh and can you tell me has it changed since then?

Many people were killed by the Taliban, especially those who opposed them. many even belonged to political parties such as the ANP and PPP.
