Pak Fauj Ko Salam – Alright!

1. You get a healthy amount of money for doing exercise, which otherwise might cost you a month’s allowance if you try doing it in a gym.
2. You are paid for getting education, something only a student from Shehzad Roy’s NGO – I am paid to learn – can boast of from the civilian lot.
3. You can shop till you drop at discounted rates at Canteen Stores Department aka CSD, and still our forwarded text messages state the Parliament’s Cafeteria rates.
4. You have the authority to brand anyone who raises a voice against your earnings as an Indian agent.
5. No one ever counts the number of cars you own, the acres of plots you get and the amount of money you make throughout your career; we’ve got the punch-bag politicians to practice our bashing skills on instead.
6. Whenever you like, you can stand up and announce a coup, dissolve the elected assemblies, abrogate the constitution and you actually gather a huge public support for that. All you say is “Those bloody civilians”.
7. You get free media coverage not only on September 6, but also on any day that is feebly ‘national’, even if you weren’t born before 1965.
8. You are glorified as if you’ve come from the heavens for just being in the forces, for just doing your job (even if you aren’t doing it)!
9. Patriotism is synonymous to eulogizing you.
10. Whenever you fail, you are showered with petals and streets are decorated with “Pak fauj k jo khilaaf, wo qaum ka ghaddar!” banners in no time.
11. You can simply escape your failures by putting the blame on others. No one will dare ask you twice.
12. The truckers love you across Pakistan  with a portrait of “Ayub Khan” and slogan “Pak Fauj ko surkh salaam”
