With the #Pakistan Armed forces submerged into commercial ventures in the state, it becomes very easy for such org to launder money for #terrorism & narcotics. Roughly, team bajwa's income is about US$ 250 million pa. How they share the loot is anyone's guess?

Role of a nation's army is to protect the land from intruders, but in #Pakistan job of a armed force personnel is to suck as much money as he can in a lifetime. In Pakistan Fauj is Mauj, which every citizen looks forward to enroll into, not out of patriotism but out of greed.9/10
If #Kashmir would have been a part of #Pakistan, we are certain each commander of the #Pakistan armed forces would have had a 2000 kanals on his name. Thank god Mr Hari Singh made a wise choice.
