dont think like a general after reading an article…
as for article ask them to apply first in Afghanistan and show us a meager sig of success.
these guys are best at bullsh?ting and talking sitting 1000s of miles away without a real info , these were the thinktanks who were saying iraq would be a cake walk.
COIN Ops: there is hell lot of difference between what US needs to do and Pakistan needs to do reason is simple pakistan army is on home ground has all its might concentrated and can apply them anytime.
whereas US is invader people dont trust them in afghanistan and they dont know the ground.
pakistan does not need to build up bases as it has already thanas etc and what you need is effective policing and zero tolerance policy and that is what pakistan is showing in swat and in FATA whenever there is major attack forces react rapidly…
so please keep that US crap out of here i didnt had the stomach to go through that although read related docs before…
irony is here everyone want to be generals sb, before they were crying for operations they got it and now they want it done their way…
