Divided—We Fall (updated)

Pakistan got an elected government, and the Army declared its retreat from politics and governance, there has been a discernible trend to create and sustain the perception that there is a serious divide between the military and the civilian government.

Invariably the government comes out as the under dog because it is read the riot act every time it deviates from what the military perceives to be the national interest---at least that is the impression created.
