What i know is that RS was more involved in image building while QB is focusing on Welfare of own troops.
OK Many People Misunderstand This.Under Him And Lt Gen Asim Bajwa ISPR Was More Pro Active Than It Was Before.The Trouble With Both General Musharraf and General Kiyani Was That They Could Not Sell The Narrative.The Thing Was That Once Army Would Take Action All Of A Sudden The Foreign Funded Media Like Geo News Would Start Chanting "Missing Person" and "Human Rights".Pakistan And Our National Security Institutions Were On The Backfoot.Getting Channels Like ARY On Board and Building A Nationalist Narrative And That TTP and BLA Were Not "Naraz Bhai" But RAW Funded Terrorists Is What Really Helped The Army.Geo News Tried To Malign Army and ISI After The Attempt on Hamid Mir's Life But This Backfired When Thousands of People All Over The Country Started To Demonstrate Against GEO News.This Really Helped The Confidence Of The Army B'Coz Soldiers Now Knew That The People Were With Them.
This Changed With RS.This Man Was A No Nonsense General.He Brought A Totally Different Mindset Than General Kiyani.Remember When PML N and PTI Were Supporting Negotiations and Dialogue TTP TTP Launched An Attack On Islamabad Kacheri The Very Next Day Air Force Launched An Attack In North Waziristan.The Thing Was Like Geo Miscalculated The Popularity Of The Army TTP Miscalculated The The Holding Of Talks As A Sign Of Weakness.The Armed Forces Sent A Message That
Tum Humein Maaro Gay Hum Tum Ko Aur Zor Se Maarenge
Then Another Attack On Karachi Airport And The Very Next Day Operation Zarb e Azb Was Started With Massive Airstrikes On TTP Hideouts and The Army Moved In.Also SOD Started A Nationwide Kill and Dump Operation Of TTP Cells No Missing Persons This Time Just Kill and Dump.In This Way Their Capacity To Carry Out Suicide Attacks Was By and Large Dismantled.
And It Is From Here That Terrorism Started To Go Down.Otherwise Before This Under Kiyani The Army Just Was Not Doing Anything and These TTP Bastards Had Made A Complete Joke Of The State.
That Is Why I Have Much More Respect For RS Than For Any Other General
