A humble request:- We are all capable of having good positive discussions without abuse, because of the greedy and self-serving role of the Army in Pakistan politics, emotions are high, but abusing the Army or any Army-paid member of this forum, would not help in having sensible, mature discussion.
My own grandfather was in the Army (retired as havaldar) and was part of "Martial races" (a title given to Pathans, Sikhs, and Pothar Punjabis), a title given by British because they were very good at serving the British at the cost of keeping own people slave. So, in short, "Martial races for British is dumb for natives). This fact was the result of the biggest massacre of minorities by the majority in 1947.
So I am not proud of it. To be honest, to serve in the military, you don't have to be the brightest bulb, rather, the lower your IQ, the better you are to serve in the Army. Most of the time they don't have to use their brain, just follow the order, Right or wrong. Anybody who wants to achieve something, wouldn't go in Army. This fact is quite clear in all the Army Generals' decision-making.
But current lot of Generals have special low-level IQs. It's obvious from their recently released songs

I think it's time, rather than praising "Army Jawans", that we accept that it's not a noble or high IQ level job, rather its a "necessary evil" , which most of the time, from our history, has been harmful rather than any benefit and treat them as they our social life.
