(OLD News 2019) COAS General Qamar Javed Bajwa given 3 years extension

[Reichsmarschall]

Not a good idea to grant extension at this time, it can be demoralizing for other officers who worked really hard only to get disappointed. An entire course/batch of senior officers will be wasted.

 

[ejaz007]

Why? . It's common practice , COAS never replace when some national security issues are in question.

When in opposition IK himself criticized giving extension to COAS.

 

[Pakistan First]

You never change your Army Leadership "DURING" War.

Is anyone here in doubt that we ARE in a state of War ?

No ?

Then relax and support this wise decision.

 

[Nefarious]

Good. Tie up the loose ends before he leaves.

 

[truthseeker2010]

Bad decision, even if its necessary (wartime situation). It should be one year at max. I see Bajwa's legacy as same as Kayani.

 

[Rank]

totally against the decision

Good decision.

 

[Reichsmarschall]

Worse decision ever. I have profound faith in Pak army officer corp. Who knows if his juniors are more accomplished/competent.

We've been having national security issues since 1947 mate.

There's isn't a war going on...we shouldn't be dependent on people, rather institutions.

Let's face it, this decision is mainly because IK and COAS get along with each other, and make a good team. That maybe a good reason in itself, since we all know how animosity between the PM and COAS can have bad results.

But don't sell that national security thing over here my friend. What if I tell you I posted somewhere 3 months back that he'll get the extension? There was no "national security" or Article 370 threat then was there?

It could have been for 1 year if there was an impending "war".

 

[Cuirassier]

Oh FOR F SAKE NO! He's just a Kayani in disguise. Spineless. We need Nadeem Raza or Sher Afgun.
