And as expected. Your tone speaks well of your typical mindset son, thinking of your good self as Aristotle & rest as buffoons. You selectively choose your concerned point & omitted the other. Anyways, if Zia weren't a naive butcher & greedy goof, Pakistan wouldn't have suffered the brunt of Afghan war, rather through diplomacy the Red Storm would have been diverted via BOT agreement for access to warm waters, the bull crap written in Pak Studies to subside the blame of intervening in an another country. If you got it right, the decision of choosing wisely the COAS, then why Mush made NS to batter his head over the wall for rest of his life ? Certainly the same gawky decision made by ZKB two decades ago, without consultation, as Pakistani leaders are dictators in their own. Yes it was his sole resolve, but in matters of filling the highest military ranks, consensus is essential especially when Commander in Chief has no military background or exposure.
