Bloody civilian
-
[Pakistani military] officers use the term bloody civilians for all non-military citizens of the country and not for the civil service officers as the British did. They justify this usage on the following grounds that civilians cannot swim; that they do not know firefighting techniques; that they are disorderly and unclean; and so on.
The list goes on to attribute moral excellence, efficiency, tidiness and so on to the military. And, what is more, these [vices and virtues] of the two sets of citizens are seen as essential, unchanging qualities for which external conditions are not responsible.
In Pakistan Military General are practically above the law, so all their mistakes are pinned on Civilian leaders. Hence term [Saintly] General and Bloody Civilian. -
