In 1965 the same people whom you are considering the hostile civilian population were supporting Pakistan army. What happened after 6 hears, that the same people became hostile. Just read the history. Anyway Pakis are experts in distorting the facts, is main point in the news article at post #1](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1) .

I dont know what happened. But whatever did happen, wasn’t auspicious for the country or the Army.

1971, the Bengalis WERE hostile toward the country. The majority were at least, whatever the reason was. That is a fact I think. If that werent the case, there would still be an East Pakistan today.

Im not trying to distort anything here. I cant distort Geographical facts. East Pakistan’s only border is with India and the sea. East Pakistan is separated from West Pakistan by over a thousand miles of India.

Note: Im talking specifically about the loss in 1971, not what Pakistan did or did not do that caused the situation to arise in the first place. Just specifically to the military loss in and of itself.

Honest self-reflection is important and admirable I think, but sometimes your assessment of yourself can be sympathetic to your own side without being dishonest or disingenuous. Clearly Pakistan lost in 1971, but again, given the circumstances, we cannot attribute the loss to lack of fighting capacity or use it as a benchmark by which to judge the Pak Army.
