#1 Rule No. 1 on firing at Gurkhas -

DO NOT FIRE AT GURKHAS!

And this is the army which cannot engage in the FATA?

#2 Wonder how Indians feel about "counter-terrorism" training/funding Paks receive from USA?

#3 I think the Pak army wants to provoke an incident that will destroy the ceasefire.

The ISI has restarted pro-"Khalistan" activities with Sikh terrorists being funded and trained. They seek to revive the militancy in the Indian Punjab with Kashmiri groups acting in concert with "Khalistani" ones.

Jihadi infiltration across the LOC is up, as are attacks.

Pak army chief Kayani has so far refused to have the Pak army trained and equipped in counter-insurgency and used on the western border with Afghanistan. They remain on the eastern border with India, where they provide the backup that the various terrorist groups require.

Pakistan's nuclear weapons provide the space for this terrorism to continue, dissuading any conventional Indian retaliation for attacks by Pakistan's proxies.

#4 I'd like to send the Gurkas into FATA and let
them get a crack at the foreign and PakiWaki
flotsam floating around that place.

Likely similar to the way we feel about Israeli spies.
