Senior analyst Haroon Al-Rasheed has said that General Mike Mullen's eyes were wide open after watching the training of Pakistan Army. Americans have a bad mind after watching Bollywood movies. The army is nothing, the Pak army has a history of more than 70 years.
He said in his response to former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's speech that you should guess when General Mike Mullen told General Kayani that he wanted to build the Afghan army, General Kayani said it could not be. He was a very educated man, even Mike Mullen's father could not understand the historical tribal factors. On one occasion, Mike Mullen said that we want to train the Pakistani army, the Americans have a bad mind after watching Bollywood movies, that our army is very brave while the American soldiers are nothing in front of the Pakistani army.
Instead of responding, General Kayani took them to where the soldiers were training. General Mike Mullen's eyes widened, he saw barbed wire traps, jumps, he was told what happens when he is punished, when soldiers are left alone in the woods in winter. So how do they cope with hunger, how do they live in the heights of Siachen and the icy winds? This is the Pakistan Army.
When General Zia-ul-Haq was once told by the Arab royal family not to send people of such and such schools of thought, it was his duty to provide security. General Zia said that no, you make your own arrangements. Pakistan Army is a society, there may be flaws in it, the army is not formed in a day, it was not formed in seventy years, they have a long history.
