I forgot to mention a very important aspect regarding Soldiers and Shahadah.

In Islam, defending homeland is farz-e-Kafaya assigned by Allah. That means, a group should be there to defend homeland from all aggressions, and it is due to that group farz of all gets fulfilled. If no group comes out when defence is needed, then all within the community would become sinner (would be neglecting the duty and responsibility Allah has assigned on Muslims).

In Pakistan, it is Pakistan armed forces that fulfils this duty and thus fulfils Farz-e-Kafaya for whole nation. When they die defending homeland (Pakistan), they die not only fulfilling their own duty but duty for whole nation. Thus, their death on duty is certainly Shahadat.

Jihad does not always remain fard e kifaya.((Our armed forces are doing fard e kifaya for america as well). If some muslims land is in kuffar custody then it becomes a fard e ain ( you may read scholars interpretations on this). It beocmes nafeer e aam when islamic ameer declares jiihad.

PS: Can discuss this on new thread if some one is interested.
