So you are saying that Army is trying to adjust into a new more limited role.The Army is not truly subservient ..and is. The Chief still calls shots just as the PM does. However, in most matters and in day to day operations the Army is subservient to the PM of Pakistan and are not laying low at all. They are interested in getting a democratic system going because they have realized the damage their involvement in governance has caused their own structure and war-fighting discipline. So while the current Chief has taken independent decisions when the governments moves clashed with its own ideas beyond an extent; he has left domestic policy to the civilian government. Matters such as relations with the US, India and Afghanistan are a different matter where IMO perhaps there is a trade off on the final decision as long as it meets some of the Army's own goals. But increasingly the Army is leaving these decisions more and more to the civilian government and accepts(grudgingly) even those that do not meet its ideas. Will there be another Musharraf waiting to happen? I doubt that since the Army is committed to supporting democratic process Will there be another Gen Kakar who may force a change of government if the incumbent is no longer effective or overly corrupt? That cannot be predicted.The current COAS kept quiet in perhaps one of the most corrupt periods in Pakistani history in the last government but(some say) the reason for it was his overlook of certain corrupt practices within the Army itself. Whatever the case is, the introduction of mass media has limited what the Army can get away with and as such too have decided to meet and change with the times to fit into their constitutional role.
But even the Army realizes that its reason of existence, its hallowed status, its political and emotional power over Pakistan and its funding would be massively curtailed were there to be peace with India.
Dont you think its intuitive that they would try and maintain the status quo with India and keep projecting India as the big villain in Pakistan(like how ISPR doles out cash and logistics to any movie that shows India as the ultimate evil) and sabotage political efforts by GoP to make peace.
Why would they wish to lose all of that ?
