1- Yahya was preceded by another military dictator Ayub Khan, no wonder. Humilitaing defeat of Pak army occured during Yahya’s leadership.

You are missing the point here, problems was created by someone else, but have to handle by Army. Please read regarding army operation in East Pakistan:
Jang Group Online

2- Not at all, Zia, did not need to promote the Jihad mentality into Pakistani youth, nor did he need to start the Jihad in Kashmir, India in retaliation started another proxy war in Karachi by sponsoring MQM terrorism.

If he didn’t promote the Jihad mentality in to Pakistani youth, how he going to get man power, If he didn’t get ready the people of Pakistan to fight with Soviet then how Pakistan should be existed? Nations have to pay price for their survival !

3- Taliban In Pakistan surfaced during Musharraf and their growing influence and military strength also occured during Musharraf’s regime. It was Musharraf’ s time that we saw an army being humbled by rag tag militia.

Sir Swat problem is their from the 1974, as far as FATA concerned local groups was always existed their. FATA area’s are known as “Aalaaqa Gaair” from the existence of Pakistan.

Pak Army never got defeated by rag tag militia in NWFP, Pak army only fully deployed in Swat, rest are all FC. Google FC & regular army difference !
