Now active officers getting civilian jobs.
Unfair doesn't belong to this thread. They are retired military personnel, not military officers. Worldwide, retired veterans are given preferences in government jobs so they don't end up unemployed, hungry, and ready to use their expertise for nefarious purposes.![]()
Punjab to hire retired military personnel to monitor schools in 22 districts
Punjab government has approved the recruitment of retired military personnel to monitor educational institutions across 22 districts, with the hiringthecurrent.pk
The retired personnel will be appointed as Monitoring and Evaluation Officers on one-year contracts under the Punjab Education Foundation.
They will receive a monthly salary of Rs60,000, along with other facilities and benefits available under the education department’s rules.
I already said it is fair. Just military should acknowledge that across its statement whenever it makes a statement. It is good that there is news and an official request was made.
Otherwise, it says it serves the country with a minimal portion of GDP. Like, it doesn't consider the pension of retired officers as military spending but federal. Surprisingly, it doesn't consider retired officers as civilians when comes to jobs, CMH treatments, or when summoned, etc.
The defense budget
in 2021 1300 billion Rs
in 2025 2200 billion Rs
in 2026 2570 (reserved)
2870 (projected)
3200
3500
...
in 2030 3900 billion Rs
We know where that budget goes and the army budget is way more than stated.
Anyway, if we want to spend money, it shouldn't be on operations but on surveillance (communications and visual) and on QRF. We should be one dimension ahead of BRF/BLA. I heard even one sardar was paying BLA not to attack him.
Even if we have money, we cannot launch operations for ambush attacks all the time (but QRF). Otherwise, it will be a losing game (infinite vs finite) like Iran drones vs US THAAD, etc.
Or we can play at their scale:
@RescueRanger @Panzerkiel
Can we have active hunting parties (1 sniper+1 drone operator+2 infantry+1 communication) aided by bigger drones input to hunt BLA in remote areas? Like a UNO reverse!
Army budget allocation.It can be true from our perspective. From their lens, it is not surrender until some external/unknown factor can pivot in their favour. It is, as you know, an infinite (state) vs finite game. Nobody (state or BLA) will run out of resources, especially after our policies such as open hostility with AFG (weapons) and political* turmoil (BLA recruitment). One has to get tired of it so the other can claim victory.
*Everything is political, which is nothing but catering to public/civilian voices according to a framework (e.g., constitution).
That is both hopeful and worrying. I hope there is a strict drone policy. If BLA/TTP get hold of a good drone supply chain, especially in the urban centre, it will be a bloodbath. Better to resolve this while we have the edge.
Just letting you know that this year we are going to pay 1800 billion Rs to IPPs (~45 billion $) despite load shedding, including capacity payments. If the establishment was not relying on this crooked cabal, we would have money for our soldiers.
Nobody is happy in their job. Even doctors aren't happy with their long duty hours and are ready to leave for a better opportunity. Yet they don't leave, and a huge queue of young Drs can happily fill any vacant seat in case.
A good metric will be a detailed survey if soldiers are happy or not, or whether they want Balochistan deployment without affecting their career. You know the answer.
Sure, man. If 700k were corrupt, then Pak is not that resourceful to feed everyone desire. All my family members who served in the Army (retired earlier and settled abroad) or in laws serving right now are average, not even reaching the middle class. Those who are on foreign assignment, and some who reached a star, still have one house.
Nobody elects NS/Zardari or welcomes martial laws bcz they claim to be corrupt. They agree with them on false promises and the hopes they give. Please stop blaming the victims (the public).
Therefore, those who gain power by creating a façade or using institutional discipline are to blame.
