Buddy UAE is one of the least populated Arab countries and one of the smallest. Actually it's not that small in terms of land area but most of the UAE is desert with some of the country being mountainous. Pakistan is 10 times as big as UAE.
There are only 2-3 million natives today as well. When the UAE military was founded WAY back you can imagine how much smaller the population of the country was. Yes, HELPED. Along with numerous of other countries Arab as non-Arab. None of which helped the UAE for free.
I don't see anything strange about that considering that 180 million big Pakistan is one of the main military powers of the world and moreover quickly was forced into wars with its much stronger neighbor shortly after its foundation in 1947. When has small UAE in comparison ever fought against anyone? I mean comparing UAE and Pakistan to begin with makes no sense at all. It's like comparing all of Pakistan with the population of Rawalpindi.
Let's be serious here for once and just realize that both Pakistan and many Arab countries (actually only a handful of Arab countries have had such ties with Pakistan in their history) have helped each other mutually on various fronts?
But yes, I would love to see Arab soldiers from for instance KSA, Egypt, Morocco, Iraq, Oman (just examples) fighting against Taliban hand in hand with Pakistan. Or against other threats and vice versa occasionally or when needed. Do I or all other Arabs (outside of the ruling families and the leading military generals and officers) decide whether to do that or not? I have no say.

I have never claimed that Arabs fought any wars for Pakistan. We did not but neither did you unless you consider sending a few Pakistani pilots during the Arab-Israeli wars + Zia-al-haq's role in Black September, sending instructors and deploying troops to KSA that never fought as "fighting warS" for Arabs. You helped certain Arab countries military because this is what you could most help with while Arabs helped you in other ways.
