Spies?
Let’s say for example a Pakistani from Usa or UK wants to join pak army. They already lived in west they won’t be dying for a visa fi leave Pakistan. They had opportunities to study at western universities but choose to serve the motherland. They had every opportunity a average Pakistani would do anything for but despite all that chose to serve the motherland.
What would intel agencies use to win over them on their side? They already left the western life and their families behind to serve the country so no amount of opportunities or money will buy them over. And I’m sure Pakistan does background checks to make sure they aren’t spies.
If you ask me, it’s more likely a Pakistani born and raised will become a spy then a overseas Pakistani joining pak army. Why? Cuz remember what CIA revealed was the main reason so many people work for them, it’s cuz they want their children to study at western institutions and live in west. Overseas Pakistanis already had those opportunities so they won’t be dying over tryna get a visa out the country. You can bribe a Pakistani with money and opportunities but it’s much harder and costlier to bribe an overseas because they already had that. I’m sure intel agencies know this too so they won’t even bother with overseas Pakistanis joining pak army because the costs to make them a spy would likely be 100x more than a Pakistani born and raised person.
For example if CIA had $1 million usd, they can probably bribe 100 Pakistanis with that amount and offer their kids education at western universities but, to an overseas Pakistani from usa or UK, $1 million usd is peanuts and they already had the opportunity to live and study in west so it would take far more resources to make them a spy.
Also, overseas Pakistanis joining pak army on average will be more skilled and bring experiences from all over the world to make pak army better.
