How about you take points out of there for me instead of just posting a ton of links?
Actually I'll give you a little to think about. If you had actually read the Army War College Report that you cited it said the "two conflicts bear little comparison". When you actually want to read the study, go ahead...it's nothing special but it's nothing that will prove your point and will prove mine instead.
Of course DAWN "Pakistan's most widely circulated English language newspaper" leaves that bit out...probably because of bias.
Next time try thinking for yourself. Don't copy other people's op-ed's without understanding the topic, don't post biased articles that reinterpret studies, and you might be a better educated "liberal".
