Forcetrip nobody is talking about religion here.I am talking about physical aspect.It is unrealistic to expect women to go beyond 10-11 years (While Air Force invests huge amount of money on them and expect them to stay for at least 25-35 years) If they remain unmarried then it is ok but marraige, children, family etc will play important parts in how long a woman can stay in air force.As Muradk mentioned in one of his post that there were 2 women who were given full fighter training but the day they sat on fighter they decided to quit and PAF 1 million training was wasted.Also knowing Indian Mentality i can't even imagine what they would do to women of PAF (They did kill PAF Pilot who ejected over India by beating him very badly)..
Investing money on women's education is *Never* lost my friend. They say you educate a woman, its like you've educated a generation.
Pakistani women are busy with stupid Dramas and nonsensical Indian movies 24*7 and as a consequence they neither comprehend nor understand what "sacrifice" really means in spiritual and worldly sense. Today's "Burger families" raised on bread and butter having no concept of self-sacrifice are a proving to be a disaster for tomorrow. How do you expect such women to raise competent, ethical and brave soldiers for tomorrow?
Speaking of Sacrifice, it is an ingredient to self-reliance, governance, and achieving great honour in this world and in the sight of God. The greatest example we have is of Prophet SAW who sacrificed everything he had in his life. Matter of fact his sacrifices amount more than that of Ibrahim, Musa, etc. AS and all of the other Prophets combined. Mother of Sahabas used to give away all of their sons to the Prophet SAW and later Khaleefas to participate in battles. And their generations ruled the world and beyond...were promised Heavens at their doorstep so to speak. Today mothers are too scared to let their sons out for namaz...its pathetic, but true story lol
I'd say PAF should invest a hell a lot more on training women fighter pilots. In fact we should have an Advanced Womens Fighter Wing like no other country. Although I understand its not the jurisdiction of PAF to educate women in Pakistan, but at least they can create a space and offer equal opportunities for them in that institution so they can compete with others on merit and never sense any discrimination.
Using women at the battle field is all situation specific and would be upto PAF to decide...and i dont think PAF is stupid enough to send a squadron of female pilots to counter enemy. so leaving that aside...Can you imagine a sister and daughter of today and mother of tomorrow having excelled in everything that PAF requires yet being denied the opportunity to serve and sacrifice for her Nation just because she's a female? Do you think she's going to love her country? More importantly, do you think she would instill love in the hearts of her children for Pakistan and the Armed forces? let alone encouraging them to enlist...
Your opinion is sound at the micro level and short-term saving for the PAF economically speaking. But its short of vision and foresight for a better tomorrow....
Is it or Not?
