When the military will be involved in politics, and dictate foreign/internal security policies what should they expect in return?

The military is responsible for the security of the country, what should the people do if they cannot pre empt terror attacks, thousands of foreign spies roaming around, drone attacks taking place (OBL raid, Salala incidence) and other similar incidents. As far as internal security is concerned abductions, killing and dumping of terrorists.

I feel that our current military setup is paying for the sins of the past for the most part.

Internal security is the responsibility of the police and paramilitary, not the army. The army is dragged into internal security by the civilians, and then when the army ends up taking over too much authority, the civilian govt cries foul.
The OBL incident could not have happened without the prior knowledge of the civilian, and even military govt. OBL was ‘kept’ there by the military with full knowledge and approval of the civilian govt. The only surprise there was the timing of the US action.
The current armed forces have been the most hands off army that we have ever seen in Pakistan. A lot of people may disagree on that, but I feel that they have kept themselves away from civilian matters a fair deal (a big reason why our civilian setup is in the dumps, with a free hand to exercise corruption.)

Pakistanis are a thankless nation. Specially our politicians, who are all feudals, and dont have a single son/daughter in the armed forces. They dont know squat about military lives, and the risks these men take for our safety.
