[Areesh]

Anybody as long as it is not Kiyani the na mard.

True. Same here. Well said.

General Tariq Khan is the best choice in my opinion.

 

[fatman17]

1. commanded at least a Corps.
2. must be from the fighting arms. infantry/artillery/armour
3. must be leader of men. a professional soldier.
4. recent experience eg; combat/WoT etc

the man who fits that bill - Lt.Gen. Tariq Khan

2. must be from the fighting arms. infantry/artillery/armour
3. must be leader of men. a professional soldier.
4. recent experience eg; combat/WoT etc

the man who fits that bill - Lt.Gen. Tariq Khan

One of The BEST PA generals!

this man single-handedly transformed the FC from a rag-tag constabulary to a fighting arm. mingles with his troops, eats the same food, feels for their problems - who wouldnt want this guy to lead them.

you are forgetting Gen Haroon, he might not be the choice of Army but he will surely be the choice of Govt due to his favoritism towards US. If we want to repair the dialogue between both countries he might have a role to play here. And i believe this is why ganja NS said that appointment will be based on seniority, since Gen. Haroon is the most senior after COAS.

The performance of FC during his tenure speaks alot about him. He turned FC from an unprofessional militia into a formidable force.

his performance and ability will be ignored and may become his handicap.
Nawaz Sherif has vowed to ignore merit and performance and will follow the civil bureaucracy promotion rule of the most senior and most arse licker to be his next COAS, someone who wont be a danger to his crown. someone like a lame duck like General Jahangir Karamat.

in military, your seniority is not the guarantee of your promotion and the position but your ability and outstanding performance but when a Tiger with hair implants has promised that he will stick to the same rule as he uses in his party or the civilian administration then forget anyone worthy making a COAS

My vote for Zaheer ul islam
.

Whoever will be the next
but it will be a very big decision for Nawaz sharif

dream on sir, this wont happen
if it does then I will happily eat my hat and post a proof of that.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

I do not know

none and not even my choice Lt Gen Tariq khan who has no "risk" of becoming a OCAS due to his charisma and presence
our Amir AL momineen the King of Raiwand will never appoint anyone who can overshadow his personality

1. Haroon Aslam fits in this criteria
2. Fits here too.
3. Fits here too, you do know he went with the first wave leading his men in the battle of peochar, lead the largest heli airborne assault in history of Pakistan and i think world's largest heli assault at such altitude. He is one true leader and he commanded lot of respect of his SSG men, i believe more then what Tariq Khan ever received from his FC men.
4. He fits this criteria.

So he fits in all 4 and being the senior most, i think he should get the job. Tariq Khan with his stories of pro-american stand in my opinion is a no no.

List of serving generals of the Pakistan Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All 4 general will be retired in 2014 right after Kayani then what would they need to be promoted as COAS to giving extension … It will be better if nominate some junior but competent generals who will be retired after 3 or 4 years ………..

Irfan, under the general framework of "right man for the job" I've been asking, what Job or mission, which transformation of the institution? All I have got thus far are the same old manage politicians and the Americans, but those are givens

in that case, what I have read, heard and seen, Tariq Khan inspired the officers and soldiers under his command, he is a good speaker and leader, he transformed the FC, served outside Pakistan during the Gulf war and got recognition, is from the main fighting arm, armor corps, for a change not a Punjabi (so wont give usual whiners another reason to cry foul). people who have served under him have only good good things to say about him.

thats as good as it can get when it comes to Pakistan army of present time, so thats my take re "right man for the job"

the right general will be the one who take his appointment and boot this scum democrazy back to the prison area.
