U.S. military officers are back on Pakistani soil. According to Reuters, this suggests the two sides may be working together more closely after a series of setbacks and the Pakistani government’s insistence the U.S. apologize for the accidental killing of 24 Pakistan troops in a cross-border incident last year.
