Focusing on external enemies is not a bad thing in my opinion, a degree of awareness of your surroundings and foes is good.The reason for Pakistan's slow, or non-existent, improvement over the past many decades is cultural. Pakistani culture does not reward individual merit either economically or with respect. Until Pakistani culture reduces the affects of tribalism, feudalism, religious bigotry and sexism, it will not progress at a pace with other societies that have diminished the debilitating affects of these cultural practices. Individual merit must be cultivated and celebrated in order for Pakistan to improve the lives of its citizens. Focus on external "enemies" is part and parcel of the weakness the pervasive Pakistani mindset.
But there's a clearly a fault in prioritisation when most issues we face are actually derived from internal cultural factors.
The failure, negligence and low productivity of our state institutions are representative of our culture. Severe corruption, carelessness, nepotism, low work ethic, inability to pay attention to detail, lack of foresight and beyond surface level thinking.
The entire state machinery is dysfunctional and practically useless and majorly that's due to our culture, this includes the Fauj. This is why I laugh when the average Pakistani blames the fauj, their own family or themselves in the fauj would probably do the exact same thing and be no different.
