Reforming Command Without Weakening It - Part 1 - A Pragmatic Approach for Systemic reform in Pakistan starting with the Army

[Oscar]

The issue i see is the civilian leadership is corrupt and highly incompetent, who is stopping them from fixing Pakistan issues, development, better law and order. The army only intervenes when something serious happens or when something will lead to serious issues. Any army in the world will intervene, in the western world if the situation goes out of control their army will impose emergency rule to bring law and order back but they are not needed because the civilian leadership and police can restore law and order. Overall unfortunely Pakistan is a weak state, our public cannot decide right from wrong, leadership always plays dirty politics, misuses power, we have big issues with personality worship, it has to be their own leader or nothing. What Pakistan needs is a few new political parties, with fresh faces, people who are educated, want to bring peace and unity to Pakistan, work with all institutions to build a strong Pakistan.

If the same families or rather population that staffs the population is still what ends up staffing the military - how do you propose the cultural aspect of relationsips be overcome where these elements in the military with corrupt relationships in the civillian structrue dont engage in corruption to save them?
Or even vice versa?

It is impossible to blame one element because the biggest flawed assumption made is that the military is foreign (and unfortunately that is repeatedly pushed as a narrative by whichever political party is at that time against the establishment) while not recognizing that it is the same elements involved.

To change the elements, help improve the most effective institutions ability to discern those elements even better - which open the door for improvement elsewhere.

Or the establishment is insecure.
Chicken or the egg.

The way to address this is NOT to tackle one issue - but rather look at the overall national characteristic that creates this - and instead of demonizing one arm of the state - enable it to recognize patterns so it can then encourage the other parts to get over theirs.

You occasionally get off the track and get too theoretical and wishy washy ...how are you going to implement what you are preaching?
