#1 The whole way in which the entry-level Pakistani soldiers and policemen view their jobs is messed up. They see being a Pakistani soldier or policeman as nothing more than being in a club, or as a weekend hobby. They don't care about their jobs at all. What a bunch of cowards. They're not willing to die for the honor of their uniform. And it sounds like they're all lone operators, like they're just out there on their own, without leadership, or organization. Like they need to stay together in groups and have BIG guns and stuff. These guys sound like they were just handed a uniform randomly and told to wear it occasionally while conducting their usual business.

#2 You've just described the typical third-world military. Seriously; a trained, disciplined, professional military is an extreme rarity.
