Path is set for gen faiz hameed to be next COAS. I personally think institutions should not depend on personalities for succession of policies. It only shows policies are dependent upon personalities rather than institutionalized and hence weakness of institution.

 

[Dil Pakistan]

What about the ex-DG ISPR - Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa.

and also the current Cor. Comm. Lahore (I am forgetting his name)

 

[zartosht]

bunch of incompetent fools who stood by and watched india annex Kashmir on their watch and get strategically outmaneuvered...

History will not judge these clowns kindly.... Pakistan needs a change in strategy

That would be very demoralizing.

Gen. Faiz is considered a mediocre officer at best. His appointment to ISI chief was surprising to many within the force. If he goes on to become the COAS, it will be deterimental to the morale of the officers and generals alike. Competence and accomplishments would take the back seat in officers' minds----and focus on favoritism will be the priority (to get ahead within the institution)

Ur right. Also giving 3 year extension also demoralizes the force. At most one year should have been given. Raheel sharif didn't get extension and yet it did not affect our war on terror. I think IK made a big mistake. This assumption about path being set for faiz hameed is common among army officers and it will damage the institution.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Considering our situation everyone (Experienced Generals, we need experienced people) should get 3 year extension

• Retiring Generals should get an extension , and retain their Subordinates

The new Jr Generals (who are being promoted) they should get their own new soldiers
with new Conscription

• Should be moved to Western Boarder as backup
• Kashmiri Pakistani , Citizens should be invited to Sign up with Pakistan Army
• Kashmiri from Occupied areas should also be able to Sign up

Their should be brand new procurement for these new soldiers

• Forest Warfare
• Hill Area Warfare
• Training with Helicopters
• Specialized weapons for this Group

Estimated strength 250,000 -300,000 new soldiers


The new soldiers would start in Baluchistan/KPK guarding CPEC
Kashmiri Soldiers would gradually get transferred closer to Kashmir LOC

I dont like the conscription part, the reason why Pak Army has high morale, and efficiency, is because it is operated on a volunteer basis, and they turn away a lot of people who arent good enough. Just increase the reserves instead.

Something like the French foreign legion should be created though made up of overseas citizens where Pakistani origin/born who no longer live in the country can be recalled during war time.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

A valid point , in any case we need a backup force made up of Kashmiri to be stationed in Kashmir Line of Control since they are origionally Kashmiri their should be no objection why they are fighting for

For their basic Training I think Baluchistan/KPK is good start to guard western front after 1-2 years they would have enough experience to be moved to Kashmir their home town for possibly a decisive battle

All Kashmiri Muslims should be acceptable in special program from (Azad Kashmir or Indian Occupied areas)

Self defence is basic human right

Well it cannot be black and white by seniority and institutions. Not all personalities are same and this has been demonstrated over centuries. Does not mean we do not have capable persons to replace Bajwa.
Having said that I believe one year to w28 months extension would have been sufficient

Considering our situation everyone (Experienced Generals, we need experienced people) should get 3 year extension

• Retiring Generals should get an extension , and retain their Subordinates

The new Jr Generals (who are being promoted) they should get their own new soldiers

Who will pay the salaries?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Freedom needs blood , not essays and poetry
As for your question about salaries , we have a strong nation

Do you think the Kashmiri Youth who are giving up their eye sight and limbs and honor at hand of Terrorist Indians , care about salaries at present ?

When you have a simple bruise sure it heals after 2-3 days but if you loose your eye sight you are disabled for life, but still Kashmiri people are filling up streets

Can you live 17 days in your home locked up , with no access to food and work?

I know for me after day 3 I would have problems with food in home and if family has elderly their would be serious hardship

How long would you go before you realize you need freedom from Indian Serpent?

They are dying with hunger in their homes , at least with Pakistan Army they will have proper care and training to reclaim their land

I think Pakistan has approached the Security council for the Last time , we have made it very clear


Has any Islamic country offered food , medicine and support , a floatilla for help to Kashmiri people even after the Hajj season , not one plane landed in Kashmir with help from OIC nations

 

[TsAr]

Path is set for gen faiz hameed to be next COAS. I personally think institutions should not depend on personalities for succession of policies. It only shows policies are dependent upon personalities rather than institutionalized and hence weakness of institution.

Even if Bajwa was not given an extension Gen Faiz hameed would still be a candidate for COAS in 2022. So stop this conspiracy theory that Gen Bajwa was given extension so that Faiz hameed would be next COAS

Don't need conscription mate, just advertise for volunteers and you will be able to fill that numbers easy.

If we enforced conscription, then we will have atleast a 76 million strong army but the whole country will come to a standstill.

[volatile]

I still remember these famous lines "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see your self become villain". Fits any where and in any profession and lastly "Power Corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". There is already examples of Generals getting extension and we all know there fate ,nothing new will be the out come for the current lot as well . Famous Examples are Ayub/Zia/Musharaf/Kiyani

Shame on u for calling him a Mediocre officer . He was promoted by General Jahangir Karamat , General Musharraf , General Kayani , General Raheel Shareef n promotion teams n many before Gen Jahangir Karamat as well . He is not promoted by Gen Qamar Javeed Bajwa since his joining of army from day 1 . U Saying he is favoured from day 1 . In Pakistan we dont know about next week n u are talking about 2022 . first learn about promotion system in Pakistan Army .
