I can only hope this weed-out policy will be applied at the middle ranking officer level as well - the majors, colonels, brigadiers etc. The cesspool of militant sympathizers needs to be cleaned out across the board within the officer corps.
there is a tradition in most navies to have beards, does that mean they are fundamentalist!!!
On non serious note yes they are actually straight basic fundamentalist.
Fundamentally do not like to shave.
So perception is critical
looks like u got a axe to grind against the "rust pickers"!!!
its not as "chronic" as many are led to believe! - an officer or jawan having a beard dosnt classify him as a fundamentalist. there is a tradition in most navies to have beards, does that mean they are fundamentalist!!!
haha - my concern has nothing to do with people growing beards.
However, I hope the army high command appreciates the importance of weeding out militant sympathizers across the middle ranks as well.
I think we should weed out American sympathizer Generals, who after selling Pakistan usually settle abroad.
Clearly the militant sympathizers have yet to be fully weeded out from the military.

Five Army officers held for link to Chicago suspects
AP
ISLAMABAD: Five Pakistani army officers have been detained for questioning over possible links to two US terror suspects accused of plotting an armed attack on a Danish newspaper, intelligence officials said on Tuesday. Last months arrests of David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana in Chicago have cast a fresh spotlight on Lashkar-e-Tayyaba. US prosecutors said the two men were believed to be working with an unidentified senior member of the outfit and a senior Al Qaeda operative. Two Pakistani intelligence officials, speaking anonymously said phone records showed the five Pakistani officers had contacted Headley and Rana. They say the five include a retired brigadier general and two active lieutenant colonels, but did not provide more details.
from the time Zia was appointed CoAS by ZABhutto, till his death in 1988, there was a deliberate institution of "islamization" of the PA, esp the western oriented officers cadre, so therefore at this time many in the general staff have had had gone through this orientation - Musharraf and Kiyani have "weeded out" this "mind-set" from the top, key echelons of the PA.
Agreed, but 99.9% percent of armed forces induction is from fundamentalist society of Pakistan , PA shall remain great muslim army considered in top 10 best armies of world (our SSG ranking is three in world).
ISPR clarified that it was only one retired major who was detained. The above story is incorrect.
Not suggesting that there may not be sympathizers in the military (even the US has had them), but that it is not as widespread an issue as it is being made out.
lol I dont think so if that was the case Most religious based politcial parties would be in power all times they only get about 2% of the vote in any given election.
