Why are military and militant put together in this discussion? 
Well Toasty? 
Definitely they are taken as totally opposite words in India.
It is not the first time that I have seen this lumping together of military and militants from western people. In India, the distinction is 100% crystal clear. Militant refers to terrorists and Maoists who carry on planned terrorist attacks on the civilians. Military refers to people who protect civilians from militants.
In Pakistan on the contrary there isn't much differences between military and militants. Because the dirty work of Pakistan is also carried out by their militant outfits and terrorist organizations.
