Why do we need Army in Pakistan now...

Re: Why do we need Army in Pakistan now...

Pakistan's possession of nuclear weapons is a shield against Indian first use; not a shield against conventional attack.

Both Pakistan and India have trained for years in how to manage conventional forces in a nuclear war - you can disperse your forces so that no single nuke can take them all out; then move them through a nuclear strike zone afterwards.

There is a reason why both Pakistan and India have invested so much in NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) protection for their tanks and APCs. They are both prepared for the fighting that will come after a nuclear exchange.
