File under: Govt of Pakistan

#1 A careful analysis of military publications, such as the different editions of the official Pakistan Army Green Book (2000, 2008, 2011) and the National Defense University (NDU)s journal and annual strategy papers (2000-2012), shows that the military still considers militants as Pakistans first line of defence against India as part of a strategy tripod, whose other two legs are conventional force and nuclear deterrence.

In fact, senior officers continue to take pride in the militarys capability to conduct proxy wars against India to offset its conventional superiority despite the disastrous blowback of that policy on Pakistan in the form of terrorism and international isolation.

That is interesting. Has any senior military authority written an article in NDU explaining the offensive against the criminals in North Wazoo? It would seem important to give guidance to the junior officers.
