Pakistan Army is one of the world's most accomplished forces : Gen Raheel

[Zarvan]

RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif on Monday said the Pakistan Army was the “most accomplished” force the world now recognised after having “cleansed large remote areas of terrorists in the most treacherous terrain and in the most trying circumstances.”

Talking to officers and troops after witnessing the conclusion ceremony of the 4th Army Physical Agility and Combat Efficiency System (PACES) Championship at Kharian Cantonment, General Raheel termed the army’s performance in recent operations as “phenomenal.”

He also expressed satisfaction over objectives of new physical standards achieved through the new fitness regime.

“We must continue to train hard in peace time to be able to take on multi-dimensional challenges in future conflicts,” said the army chief.

Later, the COAS gave away trophies to the winning and runner-up teams and also distributed medals for individual performances.

A hundred “Fittest of the Fit” and five “Super Fit” soldiers of Pakistan Army were awarded certificates and insignias.

On his arrival at Kharian, the army chief was received by Corps Commander 1 Corps Lieutenant General Mian Muhammad Hilal.

Pakistan Army is world's most accomplished force: Gen Raheel - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

The General's words are the absolute truth.

Pakistan cleansed the same treacherous mountain passes of terrorists and their sympathizers, the parallel of which the American and NATO forces have had to abandon in Afghanistan as being remote and indomitable.

A tactical force both versatile and steadfast in the face of adversity, each and every soldier of our's is an asset of this great nation.

Its good to see the army having a high morale. Required for its long operations against the unletting opponent.
However, I fear the stcokholm syndrome might creep up in the lower ranks when there is a continuous operation of this scale.
Is there a checking mechanism against the PA in the country? I see that any and all apprehensions about the PA (or any armed forces) is not tolerated in Pakistan. This may be good for the short term (while the army is working for you) but in the long run that might hurt.

You see wrong.
People are sensitive about the army, but criticism and ''apprehension'' is certainly tolerated.

This may be good for the short term (while the army is working for you) but in the long run that might hurt.

The Army doesn't just work for us. It is us. So no, it won't 'hurt'.
