Coups by the army - 4 since inception

Wars lost by the army - 4

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 earthquake rescue ops.

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!
