they cannot sweep aside a few thousand tribesmen with AK47s.

You clearly have no understanding whatsoever regarding the Pak border regions. They have been autonomous from any centralized Gov't for centuries......A few thousand? With all due respect you simply know nothing regarding the region, the people there, the landscape, some of the most rugged terrain on earth from snow capped Mtns to flush forests to deserts......

Actually, I do know quite a bit about it.
You clearly do not know that I do.

Irrespective of terrain and history, it is what it is.
Stripped of the emotional phraseology, it is primitives with simple weapons and simple tactics using the local rugged terrain as cover.
Nothing new there. Been going on since the dawn of Man.

Takes the guts and determination to go in and do to them what they do to you. Period.
