Did you also notice the "Hindu" Sari bit?? See, have to transition away from the past and from certain ideologies imported from Arabia - We just have to move past these things for Pakistan to just survive -- I hope you also notice that those who complained about the "usual rant" even differentiate the confession of a Sari, just imagine what they do with people.

Says that we should be aware that this 3 star general means other good men were denied the opportunity - This condemnable attitude is pervasive - because it's a deep seated prejudice against women, after all, if a man would have been promoted, would not other good men not have a chance at the same promotion??
And then of course there is the objection to the use of the 3 star general to promote the idea in society that in Pakistan and in the Pakistan armed forces, it is not just a recognition of the service and patriotism of women, but that society wants to move away from "Choola, Chaadar aur Chahardivari" prisons and that the Pakistan army is an institution where duty, discipline and EXCELLENCE is recognized, regardless of gender. I know this idea did not come from you know where and has not been articulated by historical figures and in historical texts, but the context is today is not the context of centuries ago.
Musey, even when you praise the Armed Forces it sounds like criticizm - by the way the lady general is an exceptional officer, and has made it, because of her brains, and skill.
