It always disturbs us when #liberals bash our #PakArmy citing foreign models of military service.

Militaries are well-versed in strategic challenges & opportunities that their nations face. They don’t make the decisions, but they advise all quarters.

Intelligence briefings.

Militaries don’t run businesses abroad. They are developed counties. #Pakistan is not.

That’s why defense contractors hire retired military to run their operations, quality assurance & other aspects, based on their experience in the battlefield.

Militaries don’t run governments either. That would be because truly democratic states don’t run to the military HQ to beg the overthrow the government.

In #Pakistan, #GHQ is frequented more by opposition politicians than Majors & Colonels.

Input from the armed forces is intrinsically linked to the successful running of any government. Please examine your international models and find one that doesn’t take advice from their intelligence & military chiefs on foreign policy & military decisions.

So please come out of the dream world that tells you militaries are just for fighting and governments are for decision making.

Lastly, also please advise on which natural disaster, rescue or other tragedy that has been handled by the “government” without asking the military to step in and solve it.

What are the police, political supporters & disaster management for?

#Liberals would rather blame the military than accept that they have failed to elect anyone other than corrupt, dysfunctional politicians to office.

Accept your failure and do better.

Don’t blame those who serve and protect our nation.

Let the haters begin...
