Yes , but speaking objectively,(the following is my opinion, correct me if I am wrong)
The military does a better job of administration than the civilians (at least thats how it looks from the outside).
Not much on administration...I am not sure how much of the country's law is actually taught in military academics...
Also discipline comes natural to the army.
This is what we need...discipline in our system...
They take tough decisions that do well for the nation in the medium term at least.
That is only for how long we need them until some party shows that it is worth a vote
Something the military has trouble doing is what I call "economic evolution".
that is a problem even with NS group today...
None of the parties are formed by experts in economics or even finance ...every party (we only have 2 major ones and other minor ones) in Pakistan is formed because he or she had some links with politics (Bhutto group, NS with Zia and so on, MQM using threats and force...)
They get the growth rates pumping , but fail to get the economy to transition higher on the value chain. Something about a top - down hierarchy definitely stifles growth and innovation.
Unfortunately there is inequality in power division thats why..
It also doesn't help that pakistan changes it voice every decade.
Kindly elaborate
In any rulership ( army or civilian) , there will be tough times. It appears when ever tough times appear , pakistanis switch between the two, never giving one a fair time to grow. e.g. How Musharraf was ousted.
There is the people doing something and then there is a game being played by politicians....and then there is foreign pressure...When we bring in military and start relaxing a bit the international committee starts getting hives or something and bugging us with stupidity ...Its like any form of growth is impossible ...we were kicked out of Commonwealth for a time being...some other stupid international parties got diarrhea and stuff like that! Seriously people didnt poke that much in Egypt, Libya or Iraq for 2 decades or even Cuba, Russia or China for decades as much as they poked us in 5 yrs of military rule!
Also , currently when Pak is on Aid , esp. western Aid which may or may not reduce in light of a coup.
What Western aid fails to see is that the coup is done by the army which is made of civilians not elites (well some are elites)
and reducing the aid does not favour the military system and hence we are literally forced to elect some moron (choices are NS or Bhutto)
Y Again this time it also seems that things are so downhill , that the Pak intelligentsia has decided to back the civilian government no matter what to break out of this plateau. It would be tough to pull off a coup and maintain it.
Well, I like to break Pak into 2 groups....the civilian and then the elites....The army is literally the only institution which has both...The politicians
are all elites the govt favours elites not 1 is from a middle class...not one has ever slept in a tent for months....or cooked their own food or done any real responsible chores! What the West would say not 1 has ever grown up!!
Such things dont deserve to rule...they dont know how the transport system is...the last time NS group took a ride, they brought some 20 bodyguards to crowd the bus along with them...thats not living like a civilian...
