I can tell you this - no one joins PMA to betray Pakistan or compromise interests. However, the society itself starts mounting pressures and the connections start rolling in characters slip and change.
A great example known to me personally is a 2 star in one of the services who in my opinion a fine example of an officer and so was their family… but before the star came in.
The mrs went from a modestly dressed lady(
not that is ANY indication of moral character but shows the impact of power and money) to sleeveless and urdu went to unglish(if
you know what I refer to) - their daughter who was a sweet mild mannered person went to pierced drama queen shouting angrily at their housemaid “
If this fucking bitch doesn’t iron my clothes in 5 minutes Ill have the guard rape and throw her to the dogs” .. and so on.
I saw the same happen to another fine officer - once the second star came … life happens and pressures happen.
Don’t expect that it is isolated to the Pakistani military, it has happened to US military big wigs in all sorts of scandals
BUT
And this IS the BIGGEST BUT
There is someone above them to catch them in the system - if not today, then tomorrow, if not tomorrow then in 10 years.. if not then then just when they are about to go but someone will catch them and they or their kin will pay both a price to the law and socially as well.
NOTHING like that exists in Pakistan and hence why it is a failed state that exists to serve this elite of which the three and two stars are a PART of but not the overall “establishment”.
It is not one individual, not one institution but an oligarchy of sorts surviving to keep this system intact.
