I dont recall anyone talking about launching a nuclear war. Yes, quoting it as a deterrent is another thing, and as a matter of fact, that is exactly what is keeping the 2 countries away from a war.
However, I do think that things have been over-glamorized, both by the media, and by the armed forces, with ISPR throwing out one video after another in an attempt to boost public opinion about them.

Wars are won by high public morale. In the times of war, this is what Armies do. Or “Ministry of War” rather.

For so long people like Imran confused the youngsters by propagating that Army will go in FATA, they’ll get trapped and bogged down, and we will have a civil war like situation with bomb blasts going everywhere in the country as retaliation. People didn’t fully back operation because they did’t think Pak Army could do it, since NATO forces in Afghanistan had failed.

For whatever reason, Kiyani never bothered countering that perception, but like or it not, Gen Raheel certainly has a point to prove! Let them emphasis the success rate of Zarb e Azb, the ways war is being fought, their professionalism and efficiency… they have certainly earned this right.

Army is fighting a very ‘untraditional’ war, yet it is a war of survival for the country. Pakistan two years ago was a very different country for all sorts of wrong reasons.

Since we don’t have a Churchill like Prime Minister, and your Prime Minister doesn’t even bother attending Defence Day ceremony in GHQ, doesn’t condemn Indian aggression, your “Information Minister” will talk about every sort of cheap crap on TV but never report on the frontline…someone else will have to do the job.
