#1 What a tactical victory...

Thousands of Pakistani soldiers dead.. the entire Northern Light Infantry wiped out... according to Nawaz Sharif, many had their heads and other body parts blown to pieces by massive Indian artillery fire.

Indian troops seizing all the captured posts and a few Pakistani ones for good measure.

Burials at night, in secret to keep alive the claim that "freedom fighters", not Pakistani soldiers were involved.

Refusal to accept the bodies of your soldiers when the Indians handed them over, again denying their involvement.

One grief stricken father begged the Pak government to accept the body of his son. Finally Indian soldiers performed the muslim burial rite.

Perv dishonored the very memory of his soldiers by his refusal to accept the bodies.

Tactical victory?

Whose troops occupy the mountain tops?

#3 India will think twice. They might have to clean up the mess left over. Their best hope is that the Pakis use a dud nuke.

#4 But, john, you misunderstand. Their objective was not to take and hold territory, it was to make it into paradise.

#5 The family of one dead Indian soldier has a petition asking the Indian and Pakistani governments for justice for his son

I am proud father of Amar Shaheed Lt. Saurabh Kalia of 4 JAT Regiment of the Indian Army who laid down his life at the prime age of 22 for the Nation while doing duty of guarding the frontiers at Kargil. The parents, the Indian Army but the whole nation lost a dedicated, honest and brave son. He was the first officer to detect and inform Pak intrusion. Pakistan captured him and his patrol party of 5 brave men alive on 15th May, 99 from our side of LOC. They were in their captivity for 3 weeks and subjected to unprecedented brutal torture as evident from their bodies handed over by Pakistan Army on 9th June, 99.They indulged in dastardly acts of burning bodies with cigarettes, piercing ears with hot rods, removing eyes before puncturing them, breaking most of the bones and teeth, chopping off various limbs and private organs of these soldiers besides inflicting unimaginable physical and mental tortures. They were shot dead ultimately
