What holds back the indian forces to respond with twice the intensity of pakistan incursion. For there acts of terrorists - training, execution and celeberations thereof, we can do very little without putting sub-continent on fire, but these acts shall be responded to increase the cost to pakistan army of supporting terrorists. Is it secular government that binds the forces to a timid response.
Wonder what stops us from hitting back on them when such incidents happen. Such incidents happen because we do not hit back which emboldens Pakistanis even further to repeat them often. Are the leders who lead the jawans cowards to just observe the Pakistanis hitting them or are they afraid that the spineless political ledership in India not support them if they hit back ?
We have had enough, Retaliate like Americans.
