Altruist
Minister (2k+ posts)
In a country where the constitution clearly defines the roles of institutions, Pakistan’s military leadership continues to overstep its boundaries with impunity. Rather than securing our borders and focusing on national defense — the very purpose for which they were commissioned — these so-called defenders of the nation have entrenched themselves in politics, judiciary manipulation, and backroom power deals.
From turning Islamabad into a fortress of personal privilege to lobbying for extensions and using parliament as a rubber stamp for their whims, these generals have reduced themselves to little more than power-hungry bureaucrats. They meddle in civilian governance, install governments of their choosing, and handpick judges to ensure favorable verdicts — all while cloaked in the myth of national security.
Meanwhile, the real job — guarding the borders — is neglected. Our soldiers deserve leadership that stands with them, not behind palatial offices, puffed up with self-importance and shielded from accountability. If the military brass had even half the courage they claim, they would lead from the front, not from air-conditioned conference rooms or ISPR's choreographed press conferences.
The time has come to call this out. The people of Pakistan are not blind. The country does not need eunuch generals polishing their medals in the capital — it needs warriors on the frontier, doing the job they were sworn to do. If they cannot fulfill that duty, they must make way for those who can.
