@idune:
The question is: Is the army infiltrated by foreign elements?
Look at it this way. The army never trusted the Awami League. Given the history of the relationship between army and the AL coupled with the current state of affairs (especially after the Pilkhana tragedy), that'll not change anytime soon.
Proof? Look at the military spending during any AL administration. Relative to BNP, it has always been the AL that spends more on military. This is done to keep the military happy. And there are still more toys to come (that is for certain).
Would the military be willing to actually allow foreign elements into their organization? I mean look, we have recently procured some HM-90s from China (likely more to come), and there will be upcoming F-22B frigates (again from China).
Do you think that the trust between the Bangladesh military and China would be violated? Of-course Indians would want to access Chinese technology by nefarious means, but would the Bangladesh military allow that? I doubt it since the Chinese would still be willing to supply us with hi-tech military equipment.
The Bangladesh military is a separate organization, and a big stake holder in the politics of Bangladesh. A state within a state. I know in theory it doesn't sound right, but in Bangladesh, it is that way for good reasons.
As far the OP goes, we can't exactly authenticate it. I mean, it's a freakin blog run by some guy living in the US for crying out loud!
There are some military officers who get into trouble for a variety of reasons. And yes, there is politics there, but not to an extent that it'd allow foreign elements to infiltrate it such that it compromises national security.
For example, I knew one Colonel who was sacked for some reason during the BNP days with no pension. Saddened and angered, he joined AL and did politics. He was dirt poor, and had a limited diet. Now, he is a millionaire. Has a dozen cars, each of his kids have houses in the UK, sacrificed nine cows during Kurbani and the guy has serious security issues (always a bodyguard following him around).
^^^True story.
My point is, even if this Maj. Zia is in trouble, it could be anything. A lot of variables play into account here. Nothing proves that the military is being infiltrated by a bunch of wackjobs.
Sure, the Awami League is a retarded puppy always hiding behind India, but that has never happened to the military
The things claimed by this blogger is not even proof that foreign elements are infiltrating the military.
P.S: For the love of God, don't call me Awami League and RAW worshiper.
