No doubt during history this particular area has produced good soldiers, infact the only resistance in Pakistani Punjab has always come in the** jehlum area (Alexander’s war with Porus has become a legend). **But seeing the short history of Pakistan the decisions made by our army suggest that we definitely need to induct people from all areas, maybe that would bring sanity to the army as well.
The decisions that the army makes should take into account the affect on other ethnicities in the country. We have already lost Bangladesh militarily, fifth operation is going on in balochistan, operation in Karachi, and war on terror in KP. The way the army has attacked whole tribes in Fata during wot, would the reaction have been similar if there were a couple of terrorists in some small village in Punjab?
I don’t understand the use of gun ship helicopters and army, where as India is using para military forces and police to counter Maoist insurgency and they didn’t use gunships even in the heat in Kashmir.
