What generalization are you talking about? Is that not the fact that in Pakistanis the Generals are above the law? Is that not the fact that MA Jinah personally wrote a note on Ayub Khans file that he must not be promoted, yet he was promoted by his friend Iskander Mirza? Is that not the fact that Ayub signed the Indus water treaty and now we are putting all the blame on India while totally ignoring the fact that the water of the three rivers was given to India by no one else but by self-proclaimed FM Ayub Khan? Is that not the fact that we went for a useless misadventure by the name of Operation Gibraltar and lost the precious lives of our men in return of no achievement? Is that not the fact that the GHQ in command of General Musa Khan asked all the officers to destroy the 1965 wars war diaries? Sir would you explain to me why those orders were issued if we were winning and everything was so green? Are you aware the after the war, FM Ayub had asked General Musa not to promote certain officers who had performed badly and yet they were promoted to the ranks of Lt. General? Can you explain to me why in the light of the Hamood ur Rahman Commission Report, the officers responsible for pan (beetle leaf) smuggling, and other moral crimes in the East Pakistan were never questioned or tried? Can you explain to me why officers like Yahya, Gul Hasan, Tikka, and Niazi received full military burials? Can you explain to me why Bhutto was hanged as a result of a very dubious trial but Zia was given a burial place near Faisal mosque? Do I need to explain what Zia has done to this country in form of inviting Afghans?
We are not as holy and as clean as we want ourselves as well as others to believe. We may make ourselves fool but we can not make rest of the world fool with us. The world knows us, it has witnessed all our deeds, in the words of Hasan Nisaar hamaray aamal, hamari harkatein. Musharraf asked a serving Major General to use the political wing of ISI to rig the national elections, that officer (Major Genral Ehtesham Zameer) later admitted his wrongdoing publically, but this can only happen in Pakistan that both, Musharraf and Ehteshaam are roaming freely. If this thing had happened in India (forget about Europe or US), the two were tried.
Whatever I have said above, is it not well documented in the history books? Am I making something myself? If I am pointing to the fact that we have these shortcomings how this becomes use this opportunity to plug in your agenda? What opportunity and what agenda? You guys are free to sling as much mud on India and rest of the world but no one can or should show you the mirror? This may make sense if you are sitting on the highest pedestal of morality and others are far beneath, but is this the case?
Should i start giving the names of CIVILIANS (politicians) who have done worst?
Or may be i should also include bureaucrats in the list?
May be a few scientists can also be added to make the list a bit more hefty?
What about our Police officials?
The common man?
Can you prove that the corruption of misdeeds are more common in our military than our society?
These are only a few names that you have used atleast a 1000 times out of your 1704 posts here at PDF! And that's what you can do best, malign a particular institution.
You are no judge to tell whomever to do what their job is to, people get promoted, buried, disgraced, honored and whatever-ed as per certain rules and sets, not everyone is perfect and not everyone is omni-clean. You have to accept a few bads and a few guuds to bring somebody at a place, but what is tried is that his guuds should be a bit more than his bads, and you know it.
Dont the politicians smuggle?
Dont our bureaucrats embezzle?
Dont our private enterprises fraud?
Dont people in our civilian institutions get promoted out of turn, are favored, politicized and nurtured against the popular will?
But you talk as if all the evils have born inside one institution.
Many a deeds of the military that you term as futile and needless are adored and said to be 'useful' by many. Now i am not at all sure of your criteria that you put in place to judge these things, how can we be sure that what you think is right? You may have your own reasons to believe what you want to believe, but the majority thinks otherwise!
(Un)fortunately, people like you are still small in number, and you need to work quiet hard to be the majority, till then you can RIP!
P.S. Now i know you are going to cry over just everything, you are as usual going to BS just every other person, institution and system of Pakistan and blame just everyone and say that just everyone should get lost (as you believe all of them are bad), so i am going to ask you a question, who exactly are you happy with? Yourself may be?!
