Would you also say that where is the QBJ fan club? Who was some sort of revolutionary and visionary according to a certail demographic on this forum?
As you rightly said, EVERYONE has been found out, across the divide.
Both were good officers for as long as their focus remained on the professional side of soldiering. The day the BPS-21 afsar was elevated above his job, that day he and his boys got out of hand. Who let them get out of hand is a discussion we have had many times over.
What I mean to say is that when Bajwa ran the army's training directorate, his work had a perceptible impact on the performance of the army in the conduct of COIN campaign. He deserves credit for this and Gen Raheel Sharif for appointing him to the directorate. So not everything, contrary to common perception here, done by Gens Bajwa and Hameed is net negative.
I never wrote odes to Bajwa here on this forum because I believe he was alright for as long as he was busy with his day job of running the Army.
I should also point out, not all army chiefs are self-promoting and out to line their own pockets. Bajwa and Kiyani completely destroyed their reputations by their own hands or the hands of their kin. However, generals Raheel Sharif, Musharraf, Jehangir Karamat, Waheed Kakar, Asif Nawaz and even Mirza Aslam Beg did not enrich themselves. They perhaps got involved in politics which is not in line with their office but they were not financially unscrupulous.
I actually appreciate Nawaz Sharif's stance (quoting WSJ here), who objected to any extensions for Bajwa and the previous chief as well. He was absolutely right on with his call perhaps after learning the hard way twice over. Lesson: Don't give the BPS-21 chap an extension ever! Send him home on the date of his retirement so he cannot get his tentacles deep into the system because when anyone does that, there is just way too much temptation to exploit from then on. Just imagine a nobody from the Army (Bajwas are not known to be a wealthy, landed aristocracy etc.) finding the whole world open to himself. Forget Pakistan, countless generals and admirals in the US have been fired and jailed for financial irregularities. The temptation is too high.
