Your problem General is that you speak too loud, not knowing that the enemy is not that far. He has heard you loud and clear and answered you as well; in his manifeto he has given you the new military strategy of first strike, which will give you the puzzle to solve. How can two combatants can declare with transparency the first strike strategy not clarifying who will be the first to strike? Now sir, your task is to find the solution and stop displaying yourself in combat khaki which impresses no one but your Jawans.

Courageous
Prepared to do what?
Bravo! Nice move by General Raheel.
Very active and visible army chief, not a good sign for democracy
Lol all statements are causing all sorts of Rumors !!
This is what an army should be like, prepared at all the times to defend the geographical borders of the country. Enemy is all around us and we have to be strong enough to deters bad intentions of our enemies and leave the civil matters on civilian institutions. An iron smith can't take the job of a jeweler effectively and vice versa.
Please control the security situation in your cities first, then we will believe any leader in Pakistan of any institution in the country.
All these guys need to first build credibility. The country's largest city bleeds and they all just stand by.
Prepared for what? take over the government ?
Yes..but just sleep when US/NATO planes come in...a joke..
Our only request is that please use this professionalism and training for enemy not to overthrow elected government.
