Not the elite.
Every entity, be it political or dictatorship, has tried to create a system to keep itself in power. Take PPP for example. They are governing Sindh. They have a support system in villages and rural areas. PTI has almost the same in KPK. PMLN has entrenched its tentacles in Punjab. In comparison, military is everywhere, not just one part. A dictator can thus have access everywhere in Pakistan. He automatically becomes stronger than other parties, not just through men with guns but through a system which is already in place. There are differences however like a dictator leaves and a new COAS takes over, who may or may not have political ambitions, where as a political party like PPP, PTI etc will always have political ambitions as that’s the reason of their creation.
As for nuclear assets, they are secure through another system in place. This is one example of mistrust between political system and military.
Now why would you think that military made a system (not just nuclear safety, but overall) for itself ?
So from army is right to being dictator is everywhere.
What you are basically saying is that there is divide and rule for civilians but the dictator is the unifying force. I agree with the first part but disagree on the latter since the "dictator" or army leadership can no longer bring together the people. Had this been the case b****** bajwa had imposed the martial law and become the "messiah" for the public like past coas who became dictators. Instead ISPR sided with the undemocratically elected civil gov and than started justifying it.
