In Pakistan three kinds of students/log usu. go into the military (I am not talking about army medical or engineering corps here) but real military
- You are one of the nalaiqtareen in your class or an average student at best (MAIN reason)…I know of some matric fail classmates of my father who joined the army and retired as Colonels and Brigadiers!
- Your father or family members are in high positions in the military or anyways you come from a strong military background
- You are intelligent and at the same time passionate about joining the military (believe you me such people are in minority)
We all know that the most bright and intelligent students (from both civilian and military familes) ONLY ever think about either doing medicine or engineering (infact most Pakistanis living abroad still only think about these two professions :)). I know there was an MBA craze back in the 90s plus we have quite a few lawyers now it seems. Even Mush’s own son did not join the army.
The two most nalaiq people in my class who could not get admission in any medical college in Punjab opted for Kakul and even one of them got rejected!
It’s another matter that some of these generals do various courses later and become quite presentable (Mushy is not that bad I give you that) but we have also seen goof generals like Musa, Tikka Khan and Kakar.
So what right do these people have to rule over us that every few years yeh hum par yoon musallat ho jaatay hain…THINK! Why should we take dictation from these people? kya hamesha danday ka zor hee rahe ga?
And blind Mushy and MQM supporters just have a look at these clips of Justice (r) Fakhr-uddin G. Ibrahim (a retired URDU-SPEAKING Supreme Court Judge) who believes that the military should have absolutely NO role in politics…just so you don’t accuse me of bias!
Quaid-e-Azam (while speaking to the Baluch regiment): ‘The military should behave like servants in uniform. You are not the masters of the state, you should take orders from the political leadership’
So let’s put aside our various biases and prejudices and think about our beloved country for once. Let’s stand up for democracy (shun the power-crazy army dictators AND corrupt politicians for ever)
