In other words, “program toh war gya” that is what I have deduced from my fellow learned members on this thread.
In my opinion you cannot compare a 20 year old foreign service candidate who has gone through life long training in the subtle arts of diplomacy and policy making/enforcing to a army general who has gone through lifelong threat matrix and security training. Both individuals will look at the same problem with completely different lenses. I have two opinions to make which may seem radical but I believe if the us army was making policy on Afghanistan/Iraq and not the civilian government. They would have nuked afg/Iraq long ago. Secondly this might seem a biased opinion but I don’t think officers like Bajwa/Munir would have even crossed the rank of lt colonel in us army. They would have been force retired. That being said I am also cognizant of the fact that the army chaps are a fabric of the overall society.
