Why it is a must for young men and women from Pakistani political families to serve in the military
I see that our nation clearly lacks civic sense, patriotism and discipline and structure in our lives. This disease of being fi!lthy, dharna bazi, lack of civic sense etc. is equally prevalent in our political and civilian elite as it is in the bottom of the barrel low end of social classes.
The poor in our society may have an excuse (although there should not be), that they never got access to schools, or other learning places so they are missing the key ingredients necessary to behave as a civilized and disciplined person.
However there is no excuse whatsoever for our Pakistani elite who occupy civilian positions of power be them in politics or otherwise. We have jagiri aka feudal parties where Pharoahs and not men rule every aspect of their party. These pharaohs could be sitting 1000s of miles away in London (Altaf mota chor Bhatta khor), or the local hegemons like Ghadari and Ganjas or the chaudharies of Gujrat or the Wali Khan family from Pekhower. Everyone of these demi-gods can pick up the phone and wield enough power that even the dictators of the world like Hitler would wish they had some of it too.
Why it is so. Why our political elite are so ignorant of the basic sense of civic duty, faith in the country, and loyalty to the nation. Why?
I have struggled with this question for many years. And I think I have finally found perhaps one of the many reasons for the abject disloyalty so common in our political ruling elite. And that is----
--- They were never trained. They were never made aware that loyalty to the country and the nation holds supreme over every other ethnic and religious loyalty they may have learned from their family or their mohallah.
Our masses can see this clearly through these dimwit politicians. This is why masses do no respect them, do not listen to their sermons. Because they see that politicians themselves are the first to breakdown under tiniest of pressures.
So what is the solution? How to train our ruling elite?
We as nation have tried some. For example we demaned they at least have a BA degree. But it has not worked. While some had the false degrees. But the rest continued their undisciplined ways even when they had legitimate degrees.
So if that didnt work, then what else could we try next?
One possible solution is to make sure they attend Kakul academy in their formative years of youth. When they can be molded and scolded into some discipline, some sense of duty, and some tiny bit of sense of honor. They should graduate from there and then serve at least 4 years (if not more) in some hot zone inside or outside the country. Then if they can apply for an honorable discharge and start their lives among civilians with newly learned sense of honor, dignity, and some civic sense.
How unfortunate for Pakistan is to see that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has spent his formative years in distant lands. So are the sons and draughts of other families like Sharifs and Chudharis. Altaf doesnt have a son yet so he keeps on killing anyone in MQM who challenges his autocratic rule.
Imran Khan learned some discipline as part of our team, leaned some sense of team spirit while winning the world cup, learned some sense of honor and duty (although one can question his sense of honor in the younger years, but well let it be).
So you see none of our prospective leaders old or new, got trained in a formal way to act as a disciplined and honorable person at least in public. They were never trained how to dress, how to speak to men, vs. how to speak to boys, vs. how to delicately deal with girls, and how to treat women as a gentleman. (Baray chotay ki tameez).
Therefore when these guys get to our assemblies, our local government or national level, they utterly fail to establish themselves as honorable men and women. They fail miserably to deal with others while maintaining rules of addressing someone who is older than you and someone who is younger than you.
And thus they cannot rally people for nationalist causes. And end up using petty Islamism or even worse ethnic chauvinism to bring around them, a group of misguided voters who have no sense of nationalism and duty towards Pakistan and sense of protecting the honor for the country.
Had Bilawal served in Siachin, he would have certainly developed the sense of personal responsibility towards nation and a sense of danger that our country is in. Had the junior boys and girls in Sharif family served in Sawat and in Wazirastan, they would know that Islamism is not pretty and it brings ultimate danger, and death and destruction of our beautiful country.
But unfortunately they have not. So they will continue behaving like 2-bit politicos without any discipline, and sense of honor, and without an iota of national spirit. They will continue to wonder why national polls show it loudly and clearly that Pakistanis have more faith in military than in political system.
