YOu guys are idiots and will remain so.
The 'generals' dont run these business nor does the officers and men of this Army does, you 'bloody' civilians run them, the military just owns them. But as you noobs cant digest and can understand the difference between earning monies from a business and physically running/managing it, so i wont blame you of your stupidity. How many officers or men in uniforms have you seen sitting as bank managers? How many plots were constructed by uniformed personnel? How many marriage lawns (where fcuk did this come from?) were being charged by uniformed men? Did you see a uniformed Chemical Engineer working in the Fauji Fertilizer or have you seen a Capt or Maj enforcing quality control at Fauji Cereals?

It is because of these 'milbus' (WTF!!) that the military is able to sustain itself, and it is because of the same milbus (WTF) that this Army of yours becomes a Profitable Organization for the National Exchequer from a Non-Profit Organization (before you start shyting, please try to understand the difference between the two). Here, allow me to explain; it is bevause of this milbus (WTF!) that this Army of yours is maintained ALMOST FREE OF COST (i.e. without your taxes), dont beleive it? See this:

Something about DHA:
Pakistan Defence Officers Housing Authority karachi
Pakistan Defence Officers Housing Authority as the name implies, primarily came into being for the welfare of the serving and retired officers of the Armed Forces of Pakistan. The Housing Society, which made a humble beginning with allotment of a mere 76.2 acres of land has come a long way since. It was through the state of the art development of mostly barren land, meticulous master planning, provision of enviable civic facilities and quality living environments to its residents that DHA has attained a status which serves as a benchmark for quality community living unparalleled to its class.
DHA has thus come a long way in emerging as the largest and most prestigious residential estate of the country. Through a well-managed and regulated administration it provides the best educational, recreational, cultural and civic facilities in an aesthetically dynamic environment. These are cardinal factors which have made the DHA's land precious estate property.
The very basic purpose of setting up of Housing Authority was three fold:-
-Welfare of Armed Forces Officers who after a dedicated and meritorious service as defenders of the country, retire from the service at a very early age.
- Setting up of model housing schemes to act as trendsetter for housing sector of the country.
-To Conserve on A-1 land and setup housing schemes on land purchased from Federal/provincial governments/private sectors. This is an application of forte and experience of Armed Forces to become an inalienable and inseparable part of the nation's prosperity and progress.
The Authority's functioning is overseen by two bodies, namely, the Governing Body chaired by Secretary Ministry of Defence and Executive Board headed by the Corps Commander posted at Karachi. Serving Armed Forces Officers represent their respective services in the two bodies.
Authority is spread over an area of approximately 8,797 Acres. It has 81,489 members of all categories which consist of Armed Forces Officers, Civilians and legal heirs of deceased members. DHA, today, has an elaborate network of roads, spread over 466 Km; water supply covering 605 Km; and sewerage spanning 470 Km
Governing Body
The Governing Body is headed by Secretary Ministry of Defence, Govt of Pakistan. Its members are:-
- Vice Chiefs of Staff of three services or Principal Staff Officers of the three services (Nominees of respective Service Chief).
- AG, AG's Branch GHQ
-DCNS (Trg & Pers), AHQ
- DCAS (Admin), AHQ
- President Executive Board DHA.
- DG, ML & C, Min of Defence
- Administrator of the Authority
- Secretary-Secretary of the Authority
The Governing Body meets at least once every year to review progress, lay down policy guidelines and approve the budget and audit report of the Authority.
Executive Board
Corps Commander posted at Karachi is the President, Executive Board DHA. Its members are:-
- A serving Army Officers not below the rank of Brigadier posted at Karachi (COAS Nominee).
- A serving Naval Officer not below the rank of Cdre posted at Karachi (CNS Nominee).
-A serving Air Force Officer not below the rank of Air Cdre posted at Karachi (CAS Nominee).
- Administrator of the Authority.
- Co-opted Members to be appointed by the Executive Board for a period not exceeding two years. They do not have the right of vote.
- Secretary Secretary of the Authority.
Executive Board exercises all administrative and financial powers. It meets as often as may be required.
Organization
A serving Brigadier heads the organization and is designated as the Administrator. The Administrator is the Chief Executive of the Authority and exercises all executive powers delegated or otherwise in accordance with the policy laid down by the Governing Body and decisions of the Executive Board.
Secretary and various Directors are generally retired Armed Forces Officers.
----
Now, can you please count how many 'jernails' (and marshals) are actually running the DHA? i think they can fit on ones finger tips, right? Now. out the total combined number of Officers in the tri-services (Army, Navy and PAF) if we can spare (though they are not spared, their primary job is to look after for what they are paid for) in return of a huge benefit, which includes huge welfare to military personnel and a huge support to the national economy and a huge system of employment in a country where unemployment rate is the highest, then i think it's not a bad bargain.
But..
Most important of all, these appointments are ex-officio appointments, so there's nothing special or hidden about them, and before someone tries to sht again, please get hold of a guud dictionary before you do that.

Now, can you please count how many 'jernails' (and marshals) are actually running the DHA? i think they can fit on ones finger tips, right? Now. out the total combined number of Officers in the tri-services (Army, Navy and PAF) if we can spare (though they are not spared, their primary job is to look after for what they are paid for) in return of a huge benefit, which includes huge welfare to military personnel and a huge support to the national economy and a huge system of employment in a country where unemployment rate is the highest, then i think it's not a bad bargain.
But..
Most important of all, these appointments are ex-officio appointments, so there's nothing special or hidden about them, and before someone tries to sht again, please get hold of a guud dictionary before you do that.

Kya howa janab? Bari jaldi bus hogye hai..
You guys started from DHA and Marriage Lawns and ended up on a totally different note?
See, appointment of Chairman PIA or Chairman Pak Steel has NOTHING to do with the current topic. Still, these appointments were political appointments especially during Musharraf's rule so that he can incentivize a few jernails so that they dont counter him. The day Gen Kiyani took over, ALL of such appointments were reverted back and ALL the Officers (retired or serving were sent back), but you wouldnt know that, would you?
i was against such appointments and i still am. BTW, how many organizations are having retd Officer as of TODAY? Please enlighten us all!
On a separate note, even if today an officer get appointed in some civilian organization on merit what's wrong about it? A Maj usually retires at the age of 40, now at this age and time his children are school going and he ought to find a job. Similarly, if a politician hand picks a jernail and appoint him the CEO or Chairman of some organization, then the Army is NOT to be blamed because it was not the Army that appointed him, but your beloved politicians! Jao unka sir khao bhai!
Politicized appointments are bad and i am against them. But that's the problem of our country. Dont you see a fake PhD was the Chairman of Pak Steel? Dont you know a Intermediate pass is heading OGDC these days? Dont you know who many FA pass are General Managers in WAPDA these days? No you dont know, why would you know? When the sole aim of your life is to malign that one institutions that is keeping both the cheeks of your a$$es together!
A banker, engineer etc retires at the age of 60, a military officer (most of them - as 80% of them retire at the rank of Major, Squadron Leader etc) retires at the age of 35-45 years, this is notwithstanding the political appointments of jernails.

Now if you people want a Rs 34 B poorer and 12411 families more unemployed Pakistan, please be my guest and shut down the FF.
But, oh no, you cant do that, because:
All commercial/ business activities undertaken by Armed Forces are approved by the Government, essentially aimed at welfare of serving/ retired personnel of the Armed Forces. These projects hardly compensate for allocated deficiency and furthermore, substantially contribute towards National exchequer in shape of taxes. (AWT alone pays billions of Rs in taxes each years).
No?
Come on grow some balls and pass another bill in your beloved Parliament and desolve all this milbus. After all you guys have (hailing) Democracy, FREE Media and a FREE Judiciary now, bhai!!
Or may be not?! i know what, all you guys can do is b!!tch , moan and complain, so please carry on!
