Re: your post

My only addition here is that the PA should consider developing an auxiliary corps similar to ROTC/Army Reserves, involve the citizens, promote citizenship, teach discipline, selflessness and provide those with limited opportunities to develop trade skills such as bricklaying, electrician, plumbing, driving etc in return for service.

This would be a boon to the nation, and help younger generations and those from marginal communities to develop life skills, learn discipline and qualifications and experience to add to their CV, helping promote a mobile and capable workforce.

Such activities will help young people to channel their energies in a positive direction, rather than waste them on video games, bhudi and social media.


 
What's the outcome of these institutions? Are they creating a progressive workforce, critical thinkers, Good administrators, Superb engineers, Ethical society, rational approach, Good politicians, Fine Gernails, Good human beings? What are they actually teaching in these institutions? How to produce electricity from Djin or 786 ways to destroy Pakland? Have they achieved anything in last 75 years?

Re: your post






Lets talk about Pakistan Army's results for what they are paid for.
Security.
Terrorists keep coming back in spite of having their backs broken multiple times,
Molvis are still running on Pak army's payroll.
Smuggling still goes on unabated through our borders.

Secure the borders, and quit trying to do things the civil government should do.

This is the result of sheer incompetence of civilians that they failed to produce good politicians to run the country, good industrialists to support manufacturing, good economists to make policies, good farmers to produce foodgrains, good laws to give justice to the citizens, good Jernails. to secure the country and so on.

Pakistanis are mostly living in Jugaad (short cuts) like No hardwork, if possible live on loans. Take more loans to repay previous loans.
Take dual citizenship if Pakistan doesn't work out, take the dirt and spread it in other country where they are moving. Find conspiracy everywhere, if it is not found then create one. Poke in other's *** even when your *** is open in the wild and then cry foul. Taken up religion to a dangerous level and mixedup with everything so as to extract money from the ummah. Best part is - Pakistani awam's relentless expectation that someone else will clean up their mess and save them from their plight.

No offence guys, it is the impression you have left in past 75 years. Sorry that I have written bad about Pakistan but bhailog jaago and improve it. Aaj se sudhaar karogey tou 30 years baad result dikhengey. Mujhe gaaliyan dogey aur beithe rahogey tou tumhare grand children bhi PDF mein maatam karengey.

Molvis are still running on Pak army's payroll.
Mullahs and the Zameendars. These were in charge of Pakistan from day one. Next the Pakistani baniya (Business community) fauj. Koi inhe haath laga ke bataye.

Lets talk about Pakistan Army's results for what they are paid for.
Security.
Terrorists keep coming back in spite of having their backs broken multiple times,
Molvis are still running on Pak army's payroll.
Smuggling still goes on unabated through our borders.

Secure the borders, and quit trying to do things the civil government should do.
Pakistan's borders are secure as can be. It was poor strategic thinking by the politicians decades ago that have put us where we are. Pakistan army with the resources it was given has done an admirable job in all domains.
 
What these institutions are producing is disciplined men and women who do not question and just follow. Sadly that means more hardship for the nation
 
Is this the same as the colonial schools, colleges and Universities to produce kala sahib's during the British rule? what better to have minions do your work for you!

come to think of it that's what's happened since 14/07/1947
