Despite its size, the Pakistan military is ill prepared for the kind of war it faces in Swat Valley or the other boundary areas of Pakistan.  For sixty years, all of Pakistan has sacrificed to reinforce its military for the purpose of defeating India in Kashmir, and, if necessary on the Punjabi plain.  To complement this overwhelming focus, the Pakistan military sought to defeat its enemies on its west frontier like the Soviets and the Soviet successors in Afghanistan through proxy armies and guerilla forces unified under the label “Taliban.”
