But if you think about it.. when you have stories circulating of kickbacks and what not.. through government and non-government and military.. and implicit admissions by retired personnel that they are approached..
then what's to say there are moles in the commissioned ranks?
After all, how much can a JCO do? really.. they arent always very bright.. or are rather conditioned not to be "too bright".
You referring to the comments by Shahid Aziz...?
My point was regarding the killing of Mush. There isn't as much extremism as we like to think so as to pose a grave grave grave danger to the top honchos...
BUt then again, if you ever get to see the daily reports circulating within MoI and given by IB, you would get scared...
As for the retired folks having the light bulb of truth after a few decades in service...I won't give their remarks too much thought. Things aren't all hunky dory, but they aren't that bad either...atleast within the section of army we are discussing.
Coming onto JCO's though, it's another story. You mentioned 'conditioned not to be too bright'. And i completely agree with you, lakeer ka fakeer stuff goes on. The current COAS for all his ills and tabahi of top heirarchy, has done much for the uplift of the OR's and other folks. He has given them some sort of a status within the army and tried to keep them happy.
Regarding JCO's and their radicalization, we had done some mistakes in the past as well so as to cultivate radicalization. The Imam or Maulvi in the unit used to be a NCO, but Zia uplifted their rank to JCO (subedar), so as to give them some sort of status and rank, so that these folks do not start using their religious mindset for bad stuff because of frustration.
You getting my point..?
