Sgt. Maj. Mike Vining: The Man. The Meme. The Army Legend.

The retired EOD technician and founding member of multiple elite units, Vining made his mark on Army history early in his career when he helped destroy a weapons cache with over 7 million rounds of ammunition.

He gained fame online as the subject of Army memes, thanks to his unassuming demeanor and stack of medals.

In honor of his birthday, here’s a small part of his incredible story.

Good to see Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif sharing a beautiful song sung by Brahvi singer Akhtar Chanal Zahri, the legend who's also known for Coke Studio's iconic "Daana Pa Daana"

It's always Brahvis of Balochistan who are open about their patriotism and love towards Pakistan 🇵🇰

Ask most people to name the best British general of World War Two and they will say Montgomery. Ask the historians who study it closely and a lot of them will quietly tell you the real answer is a man most people have never heard of. His name was William Slim, and his soldiers just called him Uncle Bill.

Slim was not born into any of it. No fortune, no famous family, no smooth path through the elite schools that produced most British generals. He was a working class kid who had been a teacher and a clerk, and he only slipped into the army through a technicality before the First World War. He got shot up at Gallipoli, wounded again in the Middle East, and clawed his way up the ranks the hard way, on merit, one rung at a time.

By 1942 he was handed one of the worst jobs in the entire war. The Japanese had smashed the British in Burma, and Slim was put in charge of the retreat. It became the longest fighting withdrawal in British military history, close to a thousand miles back to the border of India, through jungle and mountains, hounded the whole way. Most commanders are remembered for the battles they win. Slim first had to prove himself by saving a beaten army from being wiped out, and he brought it home still fighting.

Then he did the thing that should make him a household name. He took that broken, sick, forgotten army, an incredible mix of British, Indian, African, and Gurkha soldiers, and he rebuilt it from the ground up. He got a grip on the malaria that was dropping more men than bullets. He fixed the food, the training, the supply, and above all the morale. He walked among the troops constantly, talked to them like human beings, and made them believe again. They started calling themselves the Forgotten Army, half proud and half bitter, because the war in Europe got all the headlines while they bled in the jungle.

In 1944 the Japanese threw everything into a massive invasion of India, aimed at Imphal and Kohima. Slim let them come, stretched their supply lines to breaking, and then broke them. The fighting at Kohima was so brutal it has been called the Stalingrad of the East, with men grenading each other across a district commissioner's tennis court. When it was over, the Japanese had suffered the single greatest defeat their army had ever endured on land. Tens of thousands of them never went home.

And Slim was not finished. In 1945 he pulled off a masterpiece of deception, faked out the Japanese about where he would cross the Irrawaddy river, seized the town of Meiktila and cut the enemy in half, then drove all the way to Rangoon and finished the reconquest of Burma. He had taken the most humiliating defeat in British Far Eastern history and turned it completely inside out. He literally titled his memoir Defeat into Victory, and it is still considered one of the finest books a soldier has ever written.

What his men remembered was not the strategy. It was that he never lied to them, never wasted them, and never forgot they were people. In a war full of commanders who spent lives cheaply and hungered for glory, Uncle Bill did the opposite, and they loved him for it. He ended his life as a viscount and the Governor General of Australia, but the title that mattered was the one his soldiers gave him.

Montgomery got the fame. Slim got the respect of the people who actually knew.

[Hidden History @HiddenHistoryYT]

In May 1941 the most powerful battleship in the world went to sea with two men on her bridge who could not agree on how to fight her, and that quiet feud is the real reason the Bismarck lies at the bottom of the Atlantic.

Ernst Lindemann was her captain. A gunnery genius, aggressive, and fiercely protective of his crew. To him the Bismarck was the finest warship ever built and she was meant to be used.

Günther Lütjens was the fleet admiral riding aboard, senior to Lindemann and in overall command of the whole operation. Older, cautious, and quietly fatalistic, he had already run successful raids by dodging the Royal Navy, not fighting it. His orders were simple. Sink merchant ships, avoid enemy warships, do not risk the fleet.

Two commanders on one bridge, one who wanted to attack and one who wanted to slip away. That was the problem from the very start.

Bismarck sailed with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen and was almost immediately spotted and shadowed by British cruisers. On the morning of May 24 they ran into HMS Hood, the pride of the entire Royal Navy, and the new battleship Prince of Wales. In under 10 minutes Bismarck's shells punched into Hood's magazines and she blew apart. Of 1,418 men aboard, 3 survived.

The Prince of Wales was now damaged and turning away behind smoke, and Lindemann wanted to chase her down and finish her off. A second British capital ship, wounded and there for the taking. Lütjens overruled him. The mission was commerce raiding, not a straight up gun duel, and he refused to pursue. Lindemann was livid, and plenty of historians have argued ever since that he was right.

But that short fight had already cost them. A hit from Prince of Wales had ruptured Bismarck's fuel tanks. She was trailing oil, unable to reach her full fuel, and slowly losing speed. The Atlantic raid was finished before it began. Lütjens detached Prinz Eugen to carry on alone and turned Bismarck toward occupied France for repairs.

Then, on May 25, his own birthday, Lütjens got on the loudspeakers to address the crew. Instead of lifting them after the greatest naval victory of their lives, he told them the enemy would now come at them with everything, and that many of them would not be going home. The crew was crushed. Lindemann had to follow up just to steady the men and pull their spirits back off the floor.

Then came the mistake that truly doomed them. Convinced the British still had him on radar, Lütjens broke radio silence and sent a long message back to headquarters. But the British had actually lost contact with the Bismarck hours earlier and were searching blind. That single transmission gave them a bearing and put them right back on her trail.

On the evening of May 26 a torpedo from a slow, fabric covered Swordfish biplane, a plane that looked like it belonged in the last war, slammed into Bismarck's stern and jammed her rudder hard over. The most powerful battleship afloat could now do nothing but steam in a giant circle while the Royal Navy gathered around her in the dark.

On the morning of May 27 the British battleships King George V and Rodney closed in and opened fire. For nearly two hours they hammered the Bismarck until her guns fell silent and she rolled over and went under, helped along by her own crew's scuttling charges. Of roughly 2,200 men aboard, only about 110 were pulled alive from the freezing sea.

Lindemann was last seen up at the bow, and survivors said he stood at attention and saluted as his ship went down beneath him. The captain who wanted to stand and fight died with her. The admiral who wanted to avoid the fight had already been killed on the bridge hours before.

People still argue about it to this day. If Lindemann had held sole command, does he sink the Prince of Wales too, does the Bismarck disappear into the Atlantic and become a nightmare the Royal Navy can never catch? We will never know. Two men, one bridge, and a disagreement that history has never once let go of.

Pakistan’s Narrow Window: Leverage Israel Engagement to Fix Kashmir, India Ties & Beyond. Reimagining the solution.

Pakistan has never recognized Israel. But with the Abraham Accords expanding and Saudi Arabia in talks or preparing for next steps on its own position, that non-recognition card by Pakistan is losing value fast. Once Riyadh normalizes, Pakistan’s unique leverage evaporates. This is our short strategic moment, time to think boldly and transactionally.

Instead of rigid ideology, Pakistan should explore quiet, conditional engagement with Israel fully aligned with Saudi Arabia and GCC partners to deliver concrete wins for our core issues:

1. Kashmir Resolution: Pakistan always highlights (Kashmir = Palestine). Push for the Musharraf-Vajpayee 4-point formula: Convert LoC into a soft international border. Make Gilgit-Baltistan the 5th province and Kashmir the 6th with elected Chief Ministers. Stability + massive economic upside. Israel and the US have real influence in Delhi, let them earn it by delivering this.

2. Normalization with India: A pragmatic reset that calms Balochistan, reduces Afghan spillover risks, and unlocks economics. A 5-year structured partnership including revival of IPI (Iran-Pak-India) and progress on TAPI (Tajik-Afg-Pak-India) pipelines. Energy security and trade that benefits everyone except spoilers.

3. Two-State Solution for Palestine: Coordinate with KSA, once Israel forms its next government to credibly advance a viable two-state outcome. Pakistan gains moral high ground and regional credibility by being part of the solution, not sidelined.

4. Middle East Stability Guardrails: Partner with GCC states to ensure neither IRGC adventurism nor Israeli overreach derails the broader normalization and prosperity wave.

This isn’t about abandoning principles, it’s about using a rare moment of geopolitical flux to convert non-recognition leverage into lasting territorial, economic, and security gains for Pakistan. History rewards pragmatists who solve their own problems when the window opens.

The clock is ticking. Will Islamabad play the next move on chess while it integrates deeply into West Asia and enjoys a reputation with President Trump?

Let’s see.

Chief Minister Balochistan Mir Sarfraz Bugti has directed naming the road in front of Government Postgraduate Girls College Quetta Cantt as "Shaheed Professor Nazma Talib Road".

Professor Nazma Talib, a dedicated educator, was martyred by BLA terrorists while performing her duties. This naming honors her valuable services to education and her supreme sacrifice for the nation.

The Principal Secretary to CM has issued a letter to Secretary Local Government for immediate action.

[Khawaja M. Asif @KhawajaMAsif]

مولانا فضل الرحمان ایک کہنہ مشق سیاست دان اور ممتاز مذہبی رہنما ہیں، اس لیے ان سے الفاظ کے انتخاب میں زیادہ ذمہ داری کی توقع کی جاتی ہے۔ فوجی جوانوں کی وطن کے لیے قربانی کو ان کی تنخواہ سے جوڑنا نہ صرف غیرمنصفانہ ہے بلکہ شہداء اور ان کے خاندانوں کی دل آزاری کے مترادف ہے۔ کوئی شخص محض تنخواہ کے لیے اپنی جان نہیں دیتا۔ جان کی قربانی کے پیچھے کسی نظریے، عقیدے، فرض اور وطن سے گہری وابستگی ہوتی ہے۔ آپ حالات و واقعات یا طریقہ کار سے اختلاف کر سکتے ہیں، مگر اس نظریے، وابستگی، محبت اور قربانی کی توہین نہیں کر سکتے۔

ایسے وقت میں، جب دہشت گردی کے خلاف جنگ جاری ہے اور ماؤں کے جوان بیٹے (بشمول افواج پاکستان، دیگر قانون نافذ کرنے والے ادارے اور سب سے بڑھ کر ہمارے سویلینز) روز قومی پرچم میں لپٹ کر واپس آ رہے ہیں، ان کی قربانی کو تنخواہ کا نتیجہ قرار دینا سیاسی تنقید نہیں بلکہ اخلاقی بے حسی ہے۔ مولانا صاحب نے صرف ایک ادارے کو نہیں، ہزاروں شہداء، زخمیوں، بیواؤں، یتیم بچوں اور سوگوار والدین کے جذبات کو مجروح کیا ہے۔
