Not weaken but limit, with due respect, if politicians blame army for being uncontrollable, they are partly telling the truth. Military have a significant role in all aspect of policymaking, something which the politicians and civil beurocracy resists. I mean if we are talking about defence policy and military being involved, it makes sense since they are a stakeholder. But when we are talking about Foreign Policy, Economic policy and even trade policy it does not make any sense that Military should be involved in this. Let me be very clear, a major can't necessarily be a good administrator. At times, even Chairman PCB was appointed from military (Mushi Era). Nawaz has had a bitter experience with military in Kargil, Just look at abbotabad enquiry, lets just assume for a moment that zardari was not aware (or even if he was), who was responsible for securing our geographic border? Zardari or Nawaz? But the enquiry lingers to date with no developments, not a single responsible identified. Even in a recent APC when Nawaz sought clarification from Army Chief on whether american claims were correct, the JI leaders went bizzar. The dilemma with our politicians and military is that the severe lack of trust on both sides. The politicians are not willing to come forward to help Military because they have fears in their mind that military may have been keeping them in dark and thus don't want to get embarraced in the end. On the other hand militay is not willing to trust politicians with stretegic issues, thus leading to involvement in the affair which lie in the domain of politics. Unless there is not a sense of mutual trust, the clash of military and civilian government will remain in place, no matter be it PPP,PMLN or PTI
