As is popular nowadays I see endless posts and threads berating and cursing the current COAS. I understand it cathartic so leave majority of them alone. Better to vent here, in this virtual space rather than to let it build up and finally explode in the real world. But the point is, it's all misdirected anger and criticism.
What real difference does it really make as to who currently wears the title of COAS. In my view very little. Ok one COAS might have different views about one party or leader. Another COAS, a different party, another leader. One COAS does not believe in too much political interference and engineering. One COAS might be the total opposite and wants to keep a tight leash on everyone. While One might totally disregard civilian supremacy and want to impose martial law.
The real question is why, we a so called democratic country where civilian supremacy should rule are held hostage by the military top brass. why do we accept and tolerate political interference and engineering. Under what authority, rule or constitution do they think it is their right to become puppet masters and control our destiny. They are not elected by the people, they don't have the public's mandate, we have no say in this what so ever.
So if anything that needs to change is not who currently occupies the post of COAS be it Kiyani, Raheel or Bajwa but rather the power it has usurped from the civilian leadership. The Armed forces and all its top brass in the true sense of the word need to be made subordinate of the civilian chief executive.
So it's not the man, its the office.
