The UK-based blogsite 'Circling the Lion's Den' has drawn attention to the lack of a public, Pakistani reaction to frontier units of the Pakistani security forces being butchered.
This is a link to the website, not individual comments which IIRC were sometime ago:http://circlingthelionsden.blogspot.co.uk/
I noted one comment on the Long War Journal suggested surrender was not a good option. The fighting in Dir was over several days, so maybe they had no ammunition left.
One wonders if the Taliban had done this to a regular army unit what the official reaction would have been; caveat I am sure regular soldiers have been beheaded after surrendering.
