ISLAMABAD: In the ongoing war on terrorism the armed forces have so far lost the equivalent of two full brigades. Among those killed were one three-star and a couple of two-star generals.

Briefing defence committees of the two houses of parliament at General Headquarters on Tuesday (partly reported in Dawn on Wednesday), Director-General of Military Operations Maj-Gen Ashfaq Nadeem said that 3,097 personnel had been killed and 721 others permanently disabled.

The total number of Pakistanis killed in the conflict has gone up to 40,309. Maj-Gen Nadeem said the Inter-Services Intelligence alone had lost 63 personnel in various incidents, including attacks on its major stations.

Since 2007, he said, more than 140,000 armed forces personnel had been deployed along the Afghan border.

During the briefing, Chief of Army Staff Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani rejected a perception that defence spending consumed a major portion of expenditures allocated in the budget. He also denied that defence spending had been increasing over the years.

Gen Kayani said that up to 75 per cent of what was allocated to the defence services was spent on salary and rations of the personnel and just 25 per cent on “everything else”. According to him, Pakistan spends on three soldiers what India spends on only one soldier.

When asked why did his old friend and former US military chief Admiral Mike Mullen “stab him in the back” by leveling some serious allegations against Pakistan Army, he said: “Friendship does not matter in such issues.

“(Mike) Mullen did what he thought was in the interest of the United States and I will do what I think is in Pakistan’s interest.”

Gen Kayani said public cooperation was required to effectively combat terrorism.

Now that's a lot of casualties! RIP to the soldiers martyred by those murderous terrorists. Equally sad is that 721 soldiers have been permanently disabled. Hope they and their families are well looked after by the government.

And how about the civilians killed and those who've been permanently disabled? Are they receiving any compensation especially those living in the AFPAK region? Or are they left to fend for themselves?

A great sacrifice by pakistan to ensure peace in the region. RIP to the fallen warriors

Pakistan should finally realize that its just been a pawn in the hands of USA all these years to help USA achieve its goal of pushing Russia away from Afghan and then fighting USA's war on terror losing thousands of its own people ! Its time pakistan stands up for itself and be counted !

Pakistan did not gain anything in the last 20 odd years in Afghan but lost scores of its own people just due to flawed policies of its leaders both army and govt!

Save your mashoura-e-muft..the only American pawn in the region is India and Afghanistan.
 
These leeches keep coming into our country. They want to "suck more" instead of helping us clear the mess they started...

Exactly! Why should Pakistan fight with those militant groups that are posing no threat to it? In other words, why should it go after the Haqqani network? They are anti-America and therefore it is for the the U.S. of A to tackle them. Why should Pakistan fight America's war? But seeing that Pakistan cannot do without America economically and politically, it will continue to show the Americans that Pakistan is an important ally and part of the coalition in the war on terror.

USA has used and misused Pak by false assurance and pakistan really thought its an ally with the USA on equal terms , now its out to the common domain that USA doesnt need pak any more that Russia is not relevant in todays context and War on terror is drawing to an end after Osamas killing ... Pak is no more needed to USA like it was needed in the past !

Wrong policies of past Pak leaders showing its results now !!!
