Finally, someone who remembers. Use India as a second front? Bullpuckey. These SOBs did not need the excuse of Pakistan to not help us. They have never helped us.

What are you talking about? India was not part of the Warsaw pact. It say the USSR and Russia as an ally against China. That's why they are still very close to Russia. What you're spouting is cold-war claptrap and that's precisely what is keeping India from becoming our staunchest ally even though we both face the same threats. Cold war dead-beats in the Pentagon who can't think beyond the USSR are calling the WRONG shots.
