The armies are biggest stakeholders everywhere in the world. Based on the fact ammunition industry is growing, role of armies is also increasing. In coming days, no government would be able to make any policy without the approval of their armies.
Lately, we have seen that Thai army has taken over.
So we can't deny the role of the armies in this century.
There is no denying that those nations where the armies have control remain abysmal in their social development and outlook.
also the Army's role in Egypt also gets the node from Uncle Sam.
having a recognized or constitutional role of military will put an end to a coup from military. Article 58 2 B was a best tool in that regard and prevented the military from coming and the moment it was taken out ..... we know what happened
problem with nawaz is that he doesnt like to share. he doesnt even like to give powers to his own ministers.
re Army ..yes there is an element of settling a personal score but in the longer run he just wants the institution to the same level of subservience and ability as any other organisation say like police. with judiciary in the pocket, media friendly and military neutralized, Amir Al Momineen can rule Pakistan for years to come without any fear.
@VCheng what do you think? disbanding Pak-Mil will be better option? using Iraqi formula? raise something on more favourable foundations ... no?
he already has his own army of about 4 thousand strong , independently trained out of military sphere and equipped to safeguard his crown. just like Zulfi's FSF? I must say.. our democratic leaders are very creative and have contingencies in place when the time comes. sadly FSF didnt rise up to the occasion but hopefully Nawaz's army will or at least buy him enough time to escape out of Pakistan. in case 111 brigade comes knocking at the door?
Mir Shakil already talks about taking the fight to the enemy and says he wishes that he can make an armored assault at GHQ pindi .. that's even better .. preemptive strikes.. there are good examples from Israel and America.
comments?
As long as the Army delivers what it contracts for with Uncle Sam, there is no need to disband it.
