Dear,
I agree with the above conclusion of not having a conclusion.
Yes, armies do have some autonomy but in well groomed and established democartic set-up this is felt to be extremely un-desirable. We have seen examples where a defence minister like George Fernendence calls the army chief in his office for showing cause on certain alleged mischief and where such army chief did not felt it his personal disgrace and did attend the proceedings against him and had to file the required clarifications.
This is what should be desirable and praisable. Not like what we see in our country where on ISI's pressure govt's issued circulars are withdrawn overnight and people hide their faces from accepting responsibility.
Regards,
Kamran.
