And let’s get one thing straight. The days of conventional warfare are almost over. It is either a nuclear scenario that one has to contend with, the probability of which is next to zilch, or counter insurgency/guerilla warfare.
Yup you are very right there!
But ‘peaceful’ nations can’t commit genocide and wipe out a whole country just to kill a few terrorists.
And counter insurgency/guerrilla warfare can even bring Super Powers down as we have noticed during the Soviet/Afghan war.
Now to put things in proper perspective, the Indian army has 50 years of experience of Counter Insurgency operations and Low Intensity Conflicts (LICO) in the Jungles of the North East as well as the Kashmir Valley.
Yes you are right there again! The Indian army definitely has the most experience fighting insurgents.
Indian army has lost a lot of soldiers in those jungles. The mujahideens bait them into the jungles and than surround them from on top of the trees. Many Indian commandos have died that way.

Only cowards do that! 
Hey weren't you party of the chit-chat military? Thanks to neformore for putting some GD clothes on that
avatar!. Pot kettle black. Times change. LOL. mikesingh, do you think you might possibly have a teeny-tiny bit of nationalistic bias? 
But I still read it. Oh, that was quite a torture, by the way! 
Not breaking news really. And that's what I've been saying all along. You still don't get it
do you? I thought I clearly mentioned that without all those high tech gizmos, where would the US Army be? You guys can't do without costly
hi-tech crutches. Like air conditioned barracks in Iraq and Kuwait, and 24x7 shower baths!! 
Eventually, the worlds powers will see this, and see their window of
opportunity closing, the fact that their military will be rendered obsolete could potentionally draw powers like china and russia into conflicts with
the US before there militarys become obsolete..I think tom clancy has it right.
