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.
1. So they were partners in crime, give the general a slap on the wrist and
hang the bloody civilian.
2. This prime Minister is getting very
popular, fabricate some crime and hang the bloody civilian prime minister for it.
3. Democratically elected Bloody Civilians are working on this multi billion project we saintly Generals will not be able to make any
money from it. Disqualify this bloody civilian prime minister through judicial coup.
4. Blackmail this bloody civilian judge using his sex tape we recorded, and make him put democratically elected leader of the country in
jail.
