lol This reminds me one time when I got heated with a PA NCO ,This happened Last Ramadan ,after driving for 15 hours straight we reached my hometown chitral.
On the way there were some 6-10 checkpoints till Chitral valley ,I collaborated with the NCO and afterwards he asked I should bring ID of everybody in the car and I said "We just had 15 hours of travel ,In middle of July and its Ramadan,We also have been cleared from 10 other checkposts kindly let us go, My car has a computerized number and is registered ,I just told you everything you need to know and he still didn't let me go".
Some how I just lost my cool , background this check-post is notorious among chitrali people for their brutal behavior which I came to know from my own family members and friends(This has included assault on citizens and even misbehavior with female citizens) .
I looked this NCO dead in the face(Which he didn't like of-course) and told him , look I know the reputation of your Check post ,His CO a 2nd LT was sitting 6 feet away near a fan enjoying the talk.
Anyways this NCO lost his mind when i told him you are not serving the people but making an inconvenience to everybody plus you have a very bad reputation here ,As I started walking away he shouted to back the car inside the check post and he came to attack me, As he reached near me he didn't have the guts to attack me because he knew I was somebody with contacts ,I said go ahead if you have the guts to punch me ,I swear to God I will remove you from Service ,I said you guys here have this security ,Let me tell you I used to go GHQ everyday as my father was a CCMA then my father came and he said.
Your Generals used to come outside my office holding files in their hands ,Do you know who you are misbehaving ?
So after 15 minutes of yipi yapa this 2nd LT comes outside and orders NCO to calm down and let us go.
Anyways this whole situation made me realize ,Just to avoid stupid and senseless confrontation ,Don't just talk if you aren't making any positive comments.
There is no use talking sense with Pakistan army ,They think of themselves as some Saint's without ever seeing their own faults.
When you live in banana republic ,try to understand it is banana republic for a reason.
You can't just rant about the institution in such a careless way with General Pakistani public.
This Army might've some people who are a pain to its reputation but I respect the army for Individual's who earned it.
I knew a veteran of 1971 war when I was a Kid ,he was my neighbor and one of the nicest people I had ever met ,Even gave me a book he wrote which i still keep today,Similarly the NCO not so much.
