Re: Joining Pak Army
Pretty lame.
A job in the army is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week job. Even on vacations, you are on call, and can be called back any time, which happens quite frequently. So if they get better pay, its because they work better. Look at the motorway police, and why they are better than your regular thanedars.
People in the army dont GET a plot in DHA. They BUY it, though at a discounted rate.
They dont GET a house in Askari. They BUY it, though at a discounted rate.
After retirement, they get jobs, because they are more disciplined, honest, well trained, and nicely qualified.
Now, how is this different from Wapda colonies, and Railway colonies, and GORs? Civilian departments cannot maintain order within their housing authorities, which is why their values are not nearly as high as those in DHA and askari.
For the original post, please learn to differentiate between 1 or 2 generals, and rest of the army, which consists of more than half a million officers and soldiers. If you are let down by the army, dont lump all hard working, selfless soldiers with the select few, who have used the force of the army for personal gains.
That is the same logic people use for leaving Pakistan, and never wanting to go back. Just because our politicians are corrupt and inept, doesnt mean that all hope is lost.
