Not just frowned upon, but dangerous. When the protests to overthrow Assad occurred in Syria, half the generals sided with the protesters, and the other half with Assad. This caused conflicts between different military units to start, which eventually set off the Syria civil war.
Differences within the top ranks of the military can be disastrous.
Conscientious objection via resignation is something unknown to Pakistani generals. Perhaps it requires one's moral courage to be greater than one's love for the job's perks and privileges
