Coups by the army - 4 since inception

Wars lost by the army - 4 out of 4, all of which it seems to have instigated.

Budget used by the army -

Accounting for 18.5% of national government expenditure in 2018, after interest payments, Pakistan's military absorbs the largest part of the country's budget.

I kinda recall there was an earthquake in which the 18% of budget did not stretch to much earthquake rescue ops.

More than almost any other case of runaway military spending, the Pakistani public is ill-served by its use of public funds that really should go more to education and economic development in a very poor country.

Not unlike Saudi Arabia, Pakistan's toxic interpretation of Islam (a religion I respect as much as others) is the result of a deliberate choice by the government to back the most intolerant clergy. By Zia ul Haq, a general.

Its belated campaign to limit extremism in the tribal areas, mostly by militants initially abetted and funded by ISI - remember that the Taliban originated from Pakistan in 1994 - is rife with abuse. And it is not above political abductions.

The Pakistani army, before one gets into possible support by ISI to terrorist groups, is a textbook example of regulatory capture. Legislative in this case. It shapes government policies to its end and screw the people.

When the policies are not its liking: coup time!

What it's not very good at: fighting wars.

p.s. to be clear, I also have little respect for India's involvement in these matters, most notably their martial law in Kashmir.
