It's easy to abuse the Pak Army, which most people do here, but let's look at things from the first principle of what is known and what conclusion can be drawn safely from the current situation. Because, if we take a step back and see things from the eyes of an ordinary Army low-ranking person who is not part of the gravy train. We don't want to cause pain to other patriotic Pakistanis unintentionally,
What is known so far
1-Corruption in the Pak Army is not new. Only, its main beneficiaries are officers above certain ranks, which are not the majority of the Pakistan Army (Ratio of Army officers to soldier is 18% -82%).
2-Which means,a big majority of them are people like you and me. While its easy for us, sitting on a smartphone/ PC, to keep abusing them, all 82% of them, (I have no doubt, are fully aware of what happening) but because of personal circumstances can't leave their job. No one wants to see their kids hungry, and just like you and me, will do anything to provide food to their family. Any human can go hungry himself, but when it comes to our children and parents, some of us will go to any length to provide for them. These army soldiers are not any different.
3- Ask yourself, with the increase in "terrorist" activities, why someone, knows very well what is happening, but still is doing his job and some of them are losing their life, can you even imagine, the amount of pain, worry ( about family if something happens to them) that they go through. Before they had the mental satisfaction of being "shaheed", which now, clearly is not the case anymore.
4- Love for the motherland/your people is the same in every Pakistani, i don't think, an ordinary low-ranking soldier is any less patriotic than you and me. They feel the same pain when Pakistan loses to India in cricket or economically.
We don't want to cause pain to other patriotic ordinary Pakistanis, even if he is in the military. Ask yourself, for how much money, you will suppress this
patriotic feeling. Given human greed, there is a certain amount at which we will all ignore this feeling,( i don't accept that we are all angle, some of us might not do it for a few million USD, but i am sure, at a higher number, we all will take money, maybe at 1 billion dollar).
Let's just try to tune down on the abuse for the Army, I can understand, the feeling of betrayal that we all going through, but equally, we dont want to cause unnecessary pain to others. Just imagine if someone from the family of three soldiers who died recently reads these comments, The amount of pain that they are already suffering, we dont want to make it worse.
If you can't help yourself, just keep this abuse to those who are directly involved, rather than sweeping everyone with the same brush.
Just remember this,
He (P.B.U.H) has stated: A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand, (other) Muslims remain safe.’ He has further said, ‘Do you know who a Mu`min is?’ Blessed companions replied, ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His messenger knows the best.’ Prophet Muhammad said, ‘A Mu`min is the one from whom believers consider their lives and wealth to be safe’ [Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 2, pp. 654, Hadees 6942].
