Our Army thrives on strict obedience up the chain of command. Our country is on strong foundations primarily because of their steadfastness
Despite being consigned ultimately into oblivion without any appointment whatsoever, Khalid’s exemplary conduct in adversity till his death in 642 AD set an example of discipline that is a magnificent obituary by itself. The stoic nature of his patience exists even today as a model of obedience. Our Army thrives on strict obedience up the chain of command. Our country is on strong foundations primarily because of their steadfastness. These who desire nothing better than to destroy this country will certainly move Heaven and Earth to cause dissension within the ranks of the Pakistan Army, trying to sabotage the bedrock of this institution. Some of our naive people may even become willing tools of this ploy. Very much like the Germany of the late nineteenth century, Pakistan is an army with a country, as long as Khalid-like strict discipline remains a hallmark of this profession, no one can touch this country.
