Pakistan killed two Indian Soldiers and one was mutilated.
The only parallel that I can think of is when the bubbas in the 2nd Infantry Division told stories about how 'back in the day' a couple of Americans were caught by the North Koreans and killed..
I had forgotten about the tensions between Pakistan and India. The Pacific is going to be a flashpoint.

ReplyDeleteIn case you wanted something in English. The story you posted also missed out the Pakistani troop killed the day before the Indians, then another yesterday.
Clashes up in Kashmir is about as hot as I think it'll get. It's not like India and Pakistan can throw their armies at each other anymore without worrying about things getting out of hand if a war starts to go bad. Keeping it local keeps the stakes low but still statisfies the lust for reprisal.
ReplyDeletethe thing that has me watching this now is the fact that events can sometimes take on a life of their own. especially when you throw in a few islamist terrorist into the mix that are up to no good.
DeleteA proper firefight makes a change. Normally they like to throw the occasional single shell and mortar bomb and each other. Pakistan's problem is, simply, it isn't India. Pakistan is proof that politicians are at their most dangerous pushing ideas that have no basis in reality just so they have a cause to push. And that the millions that died during Partition died because of the actions and bickering of Indians not Britains.
