**I agree with the author accept above. They have destroyed Pakistan, Pakistan really does not need army in the present form, ****it should be disbanded and a new limited highly professional army be created ****which represents proportionately the entire population (not Punjabi army only) whose job is to only safeguard the borders only. Present army including every person should be sent home and banning them to re-enter in the army for ever. That is the key to survival of Pakistan. If not kiss good bye to Pakistan.

Disbanding the army will not change anything. When the former Soviet Union collapsed and many of their security and military agencies were disbanded, many high ranking officers, who were already politically influential, simply found their way into mainstream politics after their agencies were disbanded. It’s likely that the same would happen in Pakistan and that the situation would remain the same.

What is required in order to change the current state of things is a drastic change in the political culture of Pakistan. Contrary to popular opinion, it is not the army that is the issue. It is the political system and culture of Pakistan which allows them to overstep their boundaries and influence politics.
