Slow afternoon.
Let me pass this time by doing a short photo thread on my new favourite hashtag - #RunawayPakArmy!
Apparently, two majors have been removed from Pak Army for 'misconduct'.
Timing of removal is rather unfortunate, though - when they're getting pounded on the LoC!

The same Musharraf who now vows to once again 'teach India a lesson' had this to show when last time he tried.
Only a shameless army leaves behind its dead, that too UNCLAIMED.
Sometimes one feels for their soldiers ..

Paki paratroopers had successfully landed, and then turned tail & ran away westwards the moment they hit ground.
Most were however captured by lathi wielding Punjabi farmers!
