#1 For years, the ISI itself has worked closely with the groups in training Pakistan's own network of militants to fight ongoing conflicts in Kashmir and elsewhere
Duh.
So why would we play a double game?
Because you really support the jihadis, but don't want Uncle Sam to bust your ass just yet.

#2 Iff what the USMC General says about many so- called dedicated Islamists actually being PAID to attack US milfors, methinks the camps are about to lose of the young, dumb, and full of camel curds to sheer ideo-hypocrisy!?

#3 I'm not sure I understand what you are saying but the practice of 'mujahideen' being paid to fight is quite common. The Palestinians received money on a sliding scale depending on the severity of the attack, with suicide bombings getting the most money.

The Jihadis in Kashmir have been mercenaries from the beginning, they can receive hundreds of thousands of Rupees from the ISI, plus incentives for killing Indian troops.

The Algerian Mujahideen are paid from the proceeds of smuggling, the Chechens from drug money, the Abu Sayyaf from the proceeds of kidnappings etc.

#5 The Pakistani jihadis are also paid from the proceeds of ISI backed drug trafficking (afghani heroin to europe).

#6 So we have like "Jihadi Bed and Breakfasts" now?
That's okay. Blow them up too.
