When Pakistan split from India, they had this perception that they were more martial and militaristic than us, and in a war they would defeat us easily. At least that was the Kool Aid given to the public by their leaders.
Unfortunately for them, all their perceptions of superiority and awesomeness keeps getting rudely shattered repeatedly and frequently. They have been humiliated, not once, not twice but more than six times
in the last 70 years.
They have not managed to come close to winning one single war against their supposedly cowardly neighbors.
Despite being born out of the same military womb of the British Military, inheriting the same structure and training, why does Pakistani suck so badly at war, especially against India?
Because the Indian military has only one job. Fight wars and protect the country.
They train for that and when time comes, they fight.
And they usually win.
But the Pakistani military, doesn't fight wars. I mean they don't fight only wars.
Because Pakistani Military is one of those rare militaries in the world, which also runs a business. Multiple businesses in fact.
In fact they run so many businesses, that they are Pakistan's largest Conglomerate and they give Tatas an inferiority complex.
Don't believe me. This is what Pakistani Military's commercial operations look like.
They sell
Urea
Fertilizer
Cement
Corn Flakes. Yes actual corn flakes that we eat in breakfast
Butter
Cheese
Milk
Juice
LPG cylinders
Then they operate a full fledged bank. Like giving loans, paying interest, tracking NPAs and collecting bad debts etc.
And then there is real estate
They build and sell high end houses, villas, apartments, plots.
You remember seeing all those real estate ads on TV where they promise land at cheap rates at places "Close to Mumbai and Chennai" only for you to find out it is 100 kms away.
In Pakistan, the military does this.
That's not all.
They run shipping companies, aviation services like cargo handling and aviation fuel supply. They even have warehouses where people can store goods.
They even indirectly ran an airline. But just like their country, it was run into the ground in 2018.
And given their proud martial status, they do some martial business as well. They provide security guards for private citizens, operate ATM Cash vans and supply CCTV cameras.
And when they have some time left after running all these businesses, they do military coups and try to run the country also.
All the businesses run by the Pakistani military generate an annual turnover of $20 to $30 billion dollars.
It's like their main job has now become to safeguard their business interests. The business side of Pakistan military is now so huge that it has relegated their real military duty to a side show.
They are now so preoccupied in running their dhanda, that they have forgotten how to fight wars.
Or rather, they don't want to fight wars, because it will now actually harm their business.
No wonder they always lose.
