Re: Myth about winning 1965 War
This is what I mean by selective butchered up history. The creation of Afghan Mujahideen started under Bhutto, precisely 10 years before Gen Hameed took over ISI. But for some reason, for people like you it is just too damn convenient to blame everything on Army because you grew up in an environment dominated by PPP’s anti Army propaganda. Prove it with evidence that Benezir and Nasreeullah Babar had no role in creating Afghan Taliban? Prove it with evidence that ZAB, the founding father of intimate frinedship between Arab world and Pakistan would have resisted Saudi Arabia’s request to create anti Soviet Mujahideen? So why is only Gen. Hameed treated as a punching and for anti Army folks?
For your information, is it General Raheel whose shair dil jawaans are fighting in Zarb e Azb (no Gen Hameed did not create TTP) yet Gen Raheel and all top brass leadership of Army - the initiators of Zarb e Azb- attended Gen Hameed’s funeral and paid him full respect. Sums up the military, who is cleaning up the mess allegedly and solely created by Gen Hameed does not believe in any crass, hostile and utterly discrediting propaganda against Gen Hameed, where he is called everything from ghaddar to country seller. If they were ashamed of him, and did not want to be associated with him, they would not have honoured him.
Really? Do you know anyone who was helicoptered into General’s position from outside? They all start from the bottom. Yes soldiers who come from established military families have many advantages over soldiers who come from non military backgrounds. The advanatges are:
- Better education and training
- Better interpersonal skills
- More confidence
- Better idea of military discipline and lifestyle
- Better guidance and advice from home
- Chances of securing better mentoring
- Above all, more pressure to excel and live up to family reputation
