Superb as usual unless one is stupid and totally biased only then one would mock rank&File and junior officers laying down their lives in the line of duty.
As for flag rank I have already made my point if Zia, Beg, Musharraf, KInani and a few others that come to mind made it to flag rank despite the fact that everything about them was known to the institution, then there is something not right about the elevation criteria to flag rank.
Civilian Govts in Pakistan and dictators all failed to fulfill their end of the bargain as included in the social contract. I understand that people are tax evaders and corrupt generally but those who pay full taxes and are not corrupt has the state delivered on its obligation? May be just may be I am seeing a ray of hope when I saw the features of the sehat insaaf card for KPK last week.
Without wishing to create any acrimony, I would note that an organization that selects the best, then trains them the best, then promotes them through the ranks on merit fairly, does not suddenly fail in selecting its flagged ranks. Those individuals are fully aware of their acts in defiance of the Constitution, but they choose to do what they do to serve their own institution rather than the country. Having said that, it is only fair to also observe that their civilian counterparts choose to serve themselves and their own rather than the country too.
The results speak for themselves.
I admire your desire to see rays of hope, but I'd rather wait for the results to see any hope of a better future for the people of Pakistan. We still have a few years to to be able to see what the present setup will be able to actually achieve rather than what is ardently claimed.
