Re: Musharraff, the safarshi
Almost all the generals who ended up taking over Pakistan, were sifarishis. Ayub Khan was promoted out of turn as was Yahya and Zia...no professional soldier dabbles in politics. Professional soldiers have better things to do..then make money and break promises. They have soldiers to train, battles to imagine and troops to equip.
And how many of those do we have in Pakistan Army...and going back to the hogwash about promotion based on merits...try getting promoted to the rank of Lt. General or even Major General with a full beard...
Plus, in the last promotion batch to Lt. Gen. that Mush approve more then half were Urdu speakers....
