@slimnod pakistan came into existence only in 1947. Indian subcontinent and Indians had trade and cultural relations with Afghanistan for centuries. We all are brother (including you though you don't see it that way) and we love our Afghan brothers

Ignoring India Pak history in this security agreement defies reality. If the afghan recruits arr being motivated to join the army to "fight" Pakistan then the question is who is behind this drive and who benefits from this? Most afgan trade and economy is connected to Pakistan.It shares a long border and cultural ties with Pakistan. It just does not make any political sence why these two countries should have any animosity other then thoser who stand to benefit from this.
