The institution going on a suicide mission is a political view espoused by one political party looking at their own political fortunes (or temporary misfortunes currently.). You have to look at the bigger picture so follow here.
The sorry situation isn't that PTI is against the army for its involvement in the politics, rather their gripe is with the lack of army support for "their" politics. This is where I have an issue with your "cursing, criticizing" and all other hogwash thrown the military's way. You and your leader IK have not learnt anything.
If you were to say "no more military in politics", I am good with it. I agree with you. But you don't say that. You say Army is bad because it does not support IK and army is only good if it supports IK. This means you/we will be in the exact same damned situation every few years.
I am all for keeping the damned BPS-21 officer in his place. Don't you dare give a single CoAS extension from this point on. But that isn't what your leader is saying. He says these things as a mea-culpa but I doubt what he says. If push came to shove, he will give a future CoAS another extension because now the law allows it and it may be in his interest to curry the favor of the sitting CoAS. Bad deal!
To your very last question, who are we kidding about the NRO? This entire god-damned nation (I am included in the now 210M strong) has been getting NROs in ALL walks of life since the founding of this godforsaken country. On every turn, our people have taken short-cuts, broken laws, done excesses (I am talking about a petty peon to a high flying businessman), so let's not shed tears for our masses. People drop the MC/BC bombs on Bajwas, Sharifs, Khans, Bhuttos not realizing that these people come from within us. They become the very chorrs because of short cuts that our people have taken all their lives. Perhaps when they were not big-shots, they did not pay their taxes, once they become big-shots, they simply steal. Either way its theft. So I am done feeling sorry for ourselves. An elderly in my family said to me recently "hamaray amaal itnay burray hain issi liyay yeh ho raha hai" (such are our misdeeds that they invite all of these ills visiting us). So why am I constantly cursing the other when I have been a party to this mess? Apathy, petty corruption, dishonesty amongst the masses have eaten us hollow from within.
This is why I have stated this repeatedly, when one finger is pointed at another, four are pointed at ourselves.
