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!

1965 - They kept shouting 'HUM KHEM KARAN MEIN AA GAYE', but didn't tell what happened to their collective backsides later in the war!
Here are men of Abdul Hamid's 4 Grenadiers atop a Paki Patton that they left behind in their haste to run away!
:D

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 .. https://twitter.com/monicanitin/status/1182580913336487936

For all their bluster about 'Hindu Morale' in 1965, they folded up pretty fast when the Jats came calling!

Captured Pakistani Army Patton tanks after the 1965 war - many of them in perfect working condition.
Heck, in their haste to run away, the Pakis didn't even think of riding them back to where they had come from!

Villagers hunting for the Baki paratroopers in 1965 war!
No, that is not a typo in the above sentence.
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!
