Sir,
Can explain some more ....on that paragraph ....
Hi,
Fear is a terrible thing to live under---and a constant fear of your existence being challenged from a known enemy that is not going to miss a chance to destroy you---there is no bigger fear than that.
For that we went the nuc route---. We believed that was going to be our saviour---first Allah and then the resource on the ground---and off course it was---.
But the major part of the equation that we did not realize was---that the best helping hand is at the end of your arm---and that was our education system---our industrial base---our culture and character---our young men---whose only wish is to wear the khaki uniform.
We thought that at the critical time---all involved will push the button---and now we know that is farthest from the truth---. Some will push the button---and some will not---they would rather be subjugated and live---.
We did not realize---that with education and industry---our economic strength would increase---we could arm ourselves with potent weapon systems for protection and strike---.
But the most important part of growth was to spread out militarily---into regions that needed our assistance---. And that is the HISTORICAL TRUTH---.
We had a resource---manpower---a manpower that joins military---and there is no lack of manpower---and that is our industry---we did not use that industry properly---.
Next---to keep the center safe---your power projection needs to be farthest away from the center---. The more the distance---the lesser the chance of enemy hitting your main land---case in point USA---.
Now look at mainland china--- It has a massive massive problem---it developed at a very fast pace---industrial boom---the military technology boom lagged behind---china did not spread out its military base---and now it is being contained---even though it is trying very very hard to break free---.
Now---the break free point is Gwadar---and the opponents are trying every trick in the book to contain that growth---.
Now---instead of being bogged down in a shia sunni mindset---if future growth of pakistan was primary---then Yemen crisis was a gift given from Allah to pakistan to change its destiny---.
If pak had built up a troop strength of 150 K troops at the expense of GCC and kept them located at critical places for the security of the GCC---that would have been 150 K troops extra at a very critical location---.
A part of those troops would have covered a certain enemy flank which the enemy had never never dreamt it could face threat from---.
What would that have meant---the enemy would have to have dispersed its military assets to cover that flank---thus weakening its main position of thrust into pakistan---.
That is the military part---. What other gains would we have---economic gains---. We would have more say in the job market---. Our presence would have a favorable appeal to our mothers sisters and daughters---children boys and men in the GCC when they see our flag and our uniform ready to lay down our lives for their safety and protection---.
And in doing so---we are just using OUR INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT---then men of the region---the only thing they know is to put on a uniform---hold onto a rifle---and say " sir---yes sir---I am ready to defend and strike---give me the order "---.
Bhutto has done the worse to Pakistan.
He broke Pakistan. No matter how much people say otherwise..
He destroyed industrial bases .
He just simply destroyed everything
Hi,
The worst thing he did to pakistan was to " destroy the character of the nation "---everything else you can build and rebuild but the character---.
To re-build character---you have to pay a very heavy price---.
