Army Dilemmas

 Chowdry Jawed

Utopian 'staff work' has to stop. 'Spirit and support of the nation' is not there unless of course nation means PDM.
Love for country and Army on this forum Need not be reaffirmed  as every one has taken oath and lived honorably. However, it is not possible to keep faith in 'Pakistaniat' of Army lordship  when we get hear excuses like Aleem was not made CM, sunta nahin, forcing democratically elected Chief Exective to remain US centric, coercing for IMF slavery etc. Putting convicts and accused at helm of affairs and tenacious claiming Army is 'apolitical', 'neutral' etc and making a laughing symtock of the prestigious institution. Many serving & most retd are resentful to say the least. Nation less PDM feels betrayed. Veterans might wanna consider giving up mental slavery that system inculcated from PMA. And one person at the top of hierarchy one day grts to know that he is not answerable to anyone. Reaction to decades of mental slavery is that one person becomes unconditional King of the land and right, flawed or wrong literally no one could questing his decisions or policy line. To top it all, extension. Now anyone coming to 'power' would like to hang on to it for 3+5 years as these political goons gave it a legal cover to get assurances for at least two terms and vice versa. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. As a consequence, multiple quiesce allegations are circulating. Regardless, true or false, it is a cause of  disrepute to the institution. Then on command change next daunting task is image building,  Win Hearts and Minds of own people and back to badics with tough training regimes. We have been going in circles in this regard.
Time to call spade a spade otherwise this saga shall continue.
Mqy Allah continue to keep His Hand on Pak Army.  May Allah protect Pakistan. Ameen
