#1 It will be a bit difficult to surge the troops with this supply line.

#2 Geez, no sh*t.

Where's my dedicated superhighway Karachi to Kabul using the Indus as a moat on the east, right through the effin Khyber Pass Roman Style, Outpost/Checkpoints and UAVs; 1 mile do not enter tresspassers will be shot survivers shot again buffer zone. Supplies head north, sellable goods head south, Pakistan gets a toll road profit and the troublemakers see their 'famous victory pass' turned against them and poor defamed Pakistan gets kudos.

GM seems like they got some time on their hands, contract them to build earthmovers based on their truck chassis, run that SOB into Kabul then get them to Afghan gov to build roads from there. Hire the locals as alternative to drugs and jihad. Make sure trustworthy banks are available for their paychecks. Use the material from the mountains themselves for gravel roads at first then improve. Put a bomb crater into every ambush position just to let the baddies know that spot is marked, zero foliage and clear fields of fire.

Cheaper than the bailout, done in 2 years, everyone wins but jihadi druggie bandits.

#3 Had a intro to 2001 moment, set up some Easter Island/Monolith looking statues at intervals based on number of British killed during that infamous maneuver. RPG tough material, disco lights and party lasers, interior speakers which play recordings like "would you like the fish and chips?" played backwards at high volume, real spooky stuff; spread the rumor they are video recording stations with laser beams shooting out the eyes for target designation or just to fry baddies.
