Public image matters.
Even dictatorships ultimately care about public image, because a dissatisfied public leads to an overthrow.
People involve in coups, who was arrested, exactly? Also "house arrest" isn't exactly a punishment, neither is exile for the rich and the elite.
Also, no one was "blown to pieces" in mid air.
You're gonna have to give names here.
- Army Chief General Yahya Khan under house arrest for 7-years.
- Army Chief General Zia-ul-Haq blown to smithereens in mid-air.
- Army Chief General Pervez Musharraf arrested and sent to exile.
- Wannabe Army Chief General Faiz Hameed in jail.
Retired generals and judges don't tend to stay in Pakistan, by the way. They tend to leave the first chance they get.
- Pakistan Army has around 200 serving Generals at any one time.
- Pakistan's High Courts and the Supreme Court has around 126 judges at any one time.
You're obviously only looking at the positions of the handful of Army Chiefs and the Supreme Court judges, and assuming they make up the "Establishment".
