The increase in allowances announced by the president in his late night address for soldiers battling militants is welcome. Those on the frontline deserve every reward that can be offered for their brave role in the effort to save our country. The decision to set up a military cantonment in Swat also makes sense. This may help ensure that the Taliban militants do not one day attempt to make a comeback to a territory they had begun to consider their own. The presence of a cantonment will also help promote development in a part of the country that badly needs it.

US wants faster training in Pakistan

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press has learned that the Pentagon is looking at plans to significantly accelerate and expand the training of Pakistan's military. The move is key to improving Pakistan's ability to confront insurgents along the Afghanistan border.
A U.S. defense official says the Pentagon is in early talks with Pakistani leaders to develop a program that could increase the number of U.S. special operations trainers in that country. The goal is to slash the training time by as much as half for more than 9,000 members of Pakistan's paramilitary Frontier Corps.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions are preliminary.
