VIEWS OF MAJOR A.H AMIN
(RETIRED)
I was specifically asked by RESEARCH
GATE to comment on this article and
my comments below are based on my
41 years experience and written with
UTMOST DEPTH OF CONVICTION
I HAVE ACHIEVED WHATEVER I
WANTED IN LIFE AND HAVE NO
DESIRE OR INTEREST WHETHER MY

4. CONVICTIONS ARE LIKED OR
DISLIKED BY ANYONE .
My intellectual endeavours will outlive
my physical life duration .
(1) Brilliant analysis and this scribe is in
total agreement .
(2) However major issue which this scribe
noted in seeing US Afghan war and Soviet
Afghan war is that 90 % of so called
terrorists are STATE PROXIES . (3) So what
can families do when the STATE like in
Soviet Afghan War , pakistan with active

5. support of states like USA , UK, Saudi
Arabia,Egypt,UK,France ,China,UAE,
Qatar,Bahrain,Kuwait, Denmark , Germany
recruited MAD DOGS or converted innocent
children into MAD DOGS (4) University of
NEBRASKA Press was tasked by USA state
to print pamphlets GLORIFYING JIHAD and
GLORIFYING EXPLOSIVES and WEAPONS
(5) The Only Pashtun dominated state in the
world was destroyed by USA,
Pakistan,KSA,UK,France and smaller
hirelings ! (6) Taliban are active Pakistani
state proxies since 1994 so how to prevent

6. Pakistani and Afghan children from being
radicalised, specially orphans in
Madrasssas etc (7) Syrian war where I did a
SIGINT Contract where Syrian young people
were trained by USA , KSA, Jordan ,Turkey
,UK,France,Germany ,
Denmark,Newzealand,Australia to attack
Syrian state which was secular and non
Islamist
RADICALISATION OF PASHTUNS
Worst VICTIMS were PASHTUNS of both
Pakistan and Afghanistan as these were
regarded as a separatist threat by Pakistani

7. state in 1977-78 when the war started.
Pashun refugees were by force kept in
refugee camps as HOSTAGES and their
male adult relatives sent by force by
Pakistanis illegitimate ruler Zia to fight SO
CALLED JIHAD ! This exercise was FULLY
SUPPORTED BY USA, UK, FRANCE
,DENMARK,AUSTRALIA,CHINA,
NEWZEEALAND AND GERMANY .
Guerrilla war was supported by Zia only in
areas south of Hindu Kush which was
Pahtun majority so entire infrastructure of
Pashtun areas was destroyed , 90 % of

8. MINES were planted in Pashtun areas and
Pashtuns were radicalized for which today
USA and NATO is paying the price and even
Pakistans mostly non Pashtun army is
suffering casualties in fighting Pashtun led
insurrection , which it created by its own
follies.
THE HARDEST PART IS HOW TO DEAL
WITH THE STATE THE TRAINER AND
CATALYST OF 90 % ALL SO CALLED

9. TERRORISTS OR WHAT THEY CALL STATE
PROXIES IN THE WORLD.
My full Support to the author but he is
HELPLESS and we are HELPLESS
