Re: Generals of America-Look how similar they are to our Generals
zuberi, this analysis will have to be done by some independents. all the senior officers of Pak Army are from Staff College and therefore they will never accept that something goes wrong in this place. After all they are a product of this system.
Some years before an Australian officer who was sent on Staff course in Quetta (reciprocal basis) refused to attend the course after intial few months stating that the institute is only wasting his time, all problems are of the past and solutions available with all the students. There is too much emphasis on tactics and logistics being denied its due share. this place is only producing paper rommels etc etc.
It is famous in Army that staff college makes an officer impotent. The course is so tough mentally that after this course your investment in army is too much and you cannot take risk in the zero error syndrome environment. Therefore he goes extra careful and becomes spineless.
Remember a better company commander is the one who has commanded a company for more time and these staff college qualified officers have minimum period as a company commander in Army. In German Army the best goes as company commander and our army the worst.
