oh very bad resemblance sir,
Soldiers engaged in battle speak a different language in tone and tenor than what we get to hear in peace time. This is very well understood by military commanders who realise that their men are undergoing fatigue of war. It is not taken as an expression of disloyalty or threat of a coup. On the contrary, the civilian leadership, particularly those sitting far away from battleground or theatre of war, are often easily confused by these gestures. The removal of General Stanely McChrystal, commander of NATO, is a classic example of such misperception. The US has lost an excellent cog of its war machine. The General had tremendous understanding of the war in Afghanistan which he had crystallized in his signature counter insurgency (COIN) strategy in Afghanistan. A number of Pakistani military officers have actually admired and advocated this strategy to bring peace in FATA. So much for the wisdom of civilian leadership in US that has gone for satisfying personal egos over US national interests. So please do not compare ego oriented , selfish elite with selfless God fearing people.
