we may never have politicians, servicemen and bureaucrats like 50s/60s era.

Yes, it’s unfortunate. It’s very weird but I feel a sense of unease knowing that once upon a time we fought very “gentlemanly” wars, where we had mutual respect and admiration, but also we would fight for our own. Men like Admiral Tasnim, or Sajjad Haider, etc etc.

Now we’re stuck with Sidhu types like to plaster their face over everything like wannabe Kim jong uns. It’s terrible and before anyone gets at me, even Adm Tasnim was displeased with the way we were “celebrating”. It’s un gentlemanly and immature, not fitting of a proper, professional force.

But the kind of increased hatred we see now with bodies of soldiers being beheaded, photos taken with, war crimes etc, the era of gentleman’s wars are over, and we’re back to an era of savagery.

Oh well, I’m sure we’ll have more stories to be proud of as time goes on, I just hope we can stop with the cringe celebrations over every little thing and the dictatorial state of our armed forces.

Still, men like Tasnim and all the others who may have also given their lives for us with their bravery make me immensely proud to be a Pakistani. No matter what the state of the country is, the men and women who loved it enough to defend it, and in some cases die defending it is a moment of immense pride for me.
