Pakistan Army has 2 full Generals, 29 Lt Generals & 194 Maj Generals. Even @OfficialDGISPR - once a Colonel’s job is now a Major General. They deploy Generals just to run X. Have you ever calculated how much one soldier from General down to Major actually costs the Pakistani taxpayer? Free bungalows, free electricity, gas, water. Free C-130 flights across the country. Staff cars. Personal servants. Free education in top schools & universities (@ThisIsNUST, @pmdcofficial etc). Lifetime free healthcare for entire families in military hospitals. Tax-free plots, villas, shops & acres of land. Post-retirement govt jobs. On top of that, in the name of “welfare for retired soldiers & martyrs”, they run a massive empire @FaujiF_Official : banks, insurance companies, cement factories, fertilizer plants, steel mills, sugar & textile mills, dairy farms, petrol pumps, marriage halls… even housing societies built on prime land given in the name of ‘shaheeds’. A business started in 1953 with just $1.8 million in charity is now worth $20 billions, while ordinary businesses collapse and the economy dies. Losses? Covered by public budget. Licenses & permits? Handed over without a single question. The rest of the world builds states for the welfare of citizens. In Pakistan, the state exists only for the welfare of the military. For 70 years, the Army has snatched food from the mouths of poor Pakistanis to fill its own belly, while proudly claiming it is the reason you can sleep peacefully at night. If the full bill ever comes out in front of the nation… politicians will start looking like angels. Wake up. #Pakistan #PakistanArmy #EconomicReality
