instead of Pakistani army, I’d rather attribute it to grand vision for their country.
sure. PA Is the enforcer of that grand vision.
Only owners and stakeholders can have a grand vision or have a say in dominant vision, work around it and employ means to achieve it.
Pakistan Army is the owner of Pakistan, PLA is the owner Of China, Myanmar Army is the owner of Myanmar. That empowers and facilitates them to have a grand vision and make all efforts to realize that.
It is a big misnomer and a great lie that military generated vision can not have development, progress, economy, welfare. peace and prosperity as part of their vision. Singapore. Malaysia, Indonesia, even pre-war Japan, Taiwan all had predominant military elites having a stake in the governance of their countries. PLA is another shining example. At least dozens of countries around the world where the military has the ruling stake also progress well on these fronts.
All European countries were essentially military powers that enabled them to enslave the world. as their elites and military leadership was indistinguishable.
India is the only country of the world where military institutions and Services are attached offices even after 20 years of Subhraminayam Committee recommending to fully merge the Services HQ into MoD. Indian Military Service are constantly downgraded as if they are not part of the nation. What can they contribute in grand Vision where the vision of the elites (politicians, bureaucrats, industrialists and business magnets, political parties etc) is to syphon billions of dollars to some Swiss bank. Where elites institute a commission to say that Muslims are discriminated in the Army.
What vision we have where even the preamble to the Constitution is amended towards narrow party interests.
