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

[KingQamaR]

Problem with Pakistan, is that NOBODY inside Pakistan, wants to fix it

Also keep in mind that the military, despite still subparn, has greater intellectual resource in politics and nation management than a purely civilian body in Pakistan who are almost always retarded and filled with their own complexes.

Pakistan's biggest strategic defeats/setbacks came during military rule.

That only makes the civilian class look that much worse, not disprove my point in any way. I've interacted with both

If you picked 100 Pakistanis at random, 50% would be mullahs advocating for a foreign policy based on the "ummah", and the 25% would be some form of ethnic extremists and remaining 25% some feudal elites like PPP.

That's the populist stance. this doesn't mean the military is some gold standard because it very evidently isn't, but it's the smaller pile of shit in comparison.

Ideally you get none, and a genine middle-class nationalist movement with good intentions, I thought PTI was that but it seems to have a strong love affair with Afghanistan. Maybe it will get another chance and redeem itself

Ultimately, Pakistan's elites, be it military, civilian, whatever all need to want to build a nation. That at its core takes a totally different type of mentality, one that does take institutions, laws, systems, etc all seriously. That mentality is NOT there right now, anywhere.

Very true.

At the end of the day the Fauj supporters are barely marginally better than what they accuse PTI of.

Look at his cabinet, its filled with the old incompetent and corrupt faces and therefore earns hate from the public. And the performance is lacking.
