It's another thing that you are equating banks and stock exchange or post office with Army.Either you have a democracy in which criticism, taunts and insults against political figures and institutions is allowed, or you don’t.
The example you cited is of a school board firing someone, not the state or federal government outlawing speech. US free speech is protected by the first amendment. I can also sit here in London and very freely insult the queen. In fact there was an old Labour MP Dennis Skinner who made a tradition of insulting the queen or her representative while sat in the chamber.
You should be able to criticise, ridicule and insult any politician/party/institution in Pakistan, including the army. As for the argument that the army is apolitical, the hilarity of that statement aside, one should also be able to criticise departments and institutions too. If one can make fun of NAB, SBP, etc, same should apply to the army.
None of whom lose lives and limbs for the country, only the army does.
Going by your argument the army also has every right to behave as just another government institution and soldiers have the right to behave as another federal government employee?
Same as PIA or steel mill or railway employees?
Take wages and do nothing?
Same as the employees of the federal institutions you named, the soldiers and officers of military are also grade 5 to 22 employee of federal government and should behave same as those other employees of those instructions you named?
Why die for the country?
Why fight for these people?
Take wages and go home.
Leave a scare crow in border post and go sleep home, same as thousands of government servants are doing.
Then what will happen?
