Bhai I disagree.Other setups and industries too, like mills, factories etc. Retired officers are chosen since they are efficient and good at management.
Exposure and expertise in different areas which a civil set up doesn't offer to develop the same.
There are some very good civilian institutions that produce very good civilians with the mentioned skills.
The exposure, the civilians have, outmatches their military counterpart. Suffice to say the retired military only have exposure within the military, while the average Joe gets his/her exposure from a variety of private/public firms.
Anyways, lets agree to disagree here.
