I, too, am curious to find out what is in ARMY INC., although I do have any idea that this book will revealing some major corruptions, scams, holding of property and other ill done by our precious army. I will commend the writer as publishing such material (inventing the new phrase milbus; military business) is an audacious step.
Kamran, especially after this govt, their are not much people left who have got some admiration for army, rather many people do not want their sons to go for ISSB, which has traditionally been amongst most precious things.
The most corrupt institution in Pakistan, as per my view, is army. The most cursed institution should also be the army. I wont find these line very much justified, as anyone who had been in power whether an army man or a civillian had been an equal culprit. Our political leadership and army are at par in higher level corruption.
Everyone has his perception or view about history, and they can not be proved but I think Kamran has gone one step further in accusing army for the misdoings in our history.
The interesting thing about 1965 war is that it was us Pakistanis who initiated the war. However, the valour of our men in uniform especially at chavinda operation is really a matter of honor for us all. We never won the battle as we yield to international pressure for an armistice. However, I don't think it was the role of army, instead it was a political move, may be the need of the hour. I can't conclude as I am quite unaware of the details.
Gen Niazi was embarrased by Gen Arrora in 1971, infact whole of the nation was humiliated by the Indians. I still can't prove, but am pretty sure that Bhutto was the main culprit then.
I wonder how we can put a demarcation between army and civilians (agreed that the main exponent for this division are from army). I mean there are 6 to 7 hundred thousand people in military, and many from the general masses, so how can we accuse all of them for being most corrupt. I chose chartered accountancy as my profession, had I chosen army, this simple decision would have eliminated my name from innocent civillians and put it amongst the most corrupt millitary??
I think that the present views of the genral public about the army are not in very much national interest. As we have to inevitably depend upon them for defence. However, at the same time, the positive thing is that the millitary corruption has been brought in maximum lime light, so may be it will be helpful in improving things in the future. Lets hope for the best
