General Raheel Sharif gets promoted to COAS

[SBD-3]

Well there goes seniority out of the drain!!!

Would have preferred Tariq Khan or Haroon Aslam to Raheel SHarif for some strange reason.

But oh well.

May he lead the Army to better fortunes.

I personally preferred Haroon Aslam as COAS and Asif Sandhila as CJCSC. Army's badmashi continues to keep occupying the position that should have been rotating amongst the three services.

Oh GOD. Khuly lut mar shuru. I wanted Gen. Harron to be the next Chief, sh!t. Sharif family!! again sh!t.

 

[Leader]

What happens normally in Pakistan when senior Generals are superceded? Do they immediately resign or continue till retirement?

Expecting anything good from patwaris??

 

[Mudasir jalil]

I think Army should have decided their own decisions that the way there will be less chance of corruption and Politics in ARMY

 

[Rashid Mahmood]

They immediately resign.
Gen Haroon will also, otherwise he is to retire in April '14.

Khawaja Asif appointed as Defence Minister.

 

[tarrar]

Me too
btw as he is the brother of Shabir shareef (shaheed) , It will definitely uplift troop morale

Don't worry nothing will happen, you are expecting alot.
