#2 Let me get this straight...the Pakis lost HALF their country in 1971 ( the Eastern Half ) after they killed ( genocide?) 3 million Hindu civilians in just 8 months time ( you got to REALLY WORK to kill 3 million civilians in just 8 months ). And then they not only had 93,000 ( half their standing army ) of their soldiers taken prisoners and shipped by cattle car out into the Rann of Kutch ( a really FINE desert with 126* F temps ) and left to rot for 6 more years while India milked them for ransom ( or something ) and then dumped them on the streets of Karachi so their families could hang the PM a few months later.

That great victory?

#3 That great victory?

Indeed. And the Egyptians celebrate their great victory in the Yom Kippur War. Of course, they did get peace with Israel and the Sinai out or it, instead of losing Cairo as originally feared, so they have some justification.
