It does not matter if he was made COAS by NS or not, he was a Lt. General by that time. Imagine the caliber of people being made Lt. Generals, and these people are supposed to command the fight for Pakistan's survival against India. A person who ran away from every single combat area deployment throughout his career ended up as a Lt. General. =)
Then imagine the calibre of people he'd have amassed around himself and left after him. He's a symptom of a broken system, not the entire system in himself.
Are you then surprised what Pak did in 2016, 2019, with the Brahmos episode and there after? And even what's going on now, under the new boss.
