1. The armed forces of a nation ought to act as an alternative / back-up method of civilizing, edifying, uplifting and improving the recruit or member in every manner. In other words the military ought to act as another avenue for success in every sphere of civilian life (be it enterprise, law, medicine, sciences , arts etc.) Just like GD pilots may enter lucrative careers as commercial airline fliers, similarly every role and every member ought to be able to transition to a prosperous civilian career.
2. Members of the armed forces ought to be ideally inducted at a pre-pubescent stage and raised like children of the state, and then instructed in every high art (from philosophy, law, history , languages & geography) . The effort ought to be to provided the highest , most genenrous edification because the lowest common denominator (the weakest member) determines the heights to which a nation may rise.
3. The membes of the armed forces ought not to be merely confined to the next or the latest military hardware or "toys" for these are the pre occupations of those who whose thoughts have not risen high enough. It is fine to attempt to improve hardware or manufacture the latest & greatest hardware but what is more important is development of the lifestyle & quality of the human capital. The thoughts of the members of the armed forces ought to reside upon : how to improve the human capital (the human resource) in every way : physically, spiritually, emotionally, financially, morally etc.
4. Members of the armed forces ought to be imparted with a value system (a written and pronounced oath on a daily basis) which values the national family and the nation above their own family at every cost and every turn. The member of the armed forces may value their ties to the nation and humanity , to God (Allah SWT) and to the creation of God (the "children of God" or fellow human beings) above any blood relation. An example and outcome of this thinking is this: this means that you may not imperil your brother-in-arms in war (or peace) and save your own life because you have "a family or wife & children". To prioritize the family over the larger society may also lead to what Edward Banfield called "Amoral Familism". Not just members of the armed forces but every citizen and every child in particular is a wealth the community / nation holds in common (hence a "common wealth") and every child is therefore as worthy of protection , love, edification, defense, kindness as any other child and all adults of the nation have as much an obligation to improve the children as the adult parents.
5. Members of the armed forces (or the public) may congratulate other nations on their development but they ought to priorities the uplift of their own nations & improvement of their own instead of becoming cheerleaders for other nations (they may not for example wish for or pray for victory for US over Russia or USSR over US because they view one as an ally and the other as their opponent; they may prioritize their own nation first, and while valuing and loving their allies (and their opponents) they must ask for self sustaining victory of their own nation, first).
6. If possible every citizen of Pakistan should be ready & willing & able to defend their lands (as is the case with universal conscription in Israel & Switzerland). This only if it helps improve the citizens physically, morally and financially.
7. The defense of a country is not merely defending against harm but improving and benefitting the land. This means the Pakistani armed forces should participate in educating the public through media (entertainment) by training artists, painters, filmmakers, musicians, philosophers, religious thought leaders, sculptors . This education may be brought about in a way that the industry competes with competing elements in the highest possible way. This implies that the armed forces should generate with great profundity scientifically trained PhDs who enter enterprise (& businesss) and develope the industry. This also means that the armed forces should prioritize world class infrastructure & industry as critical to the defense of the land. This also leads us to the conclusion that the armed forces of the nation should not shy away from study of any subject : particularly philosophy, religion, the spiritual arts etc. This particularly means that the armed forces of the country should attempt to improve the climate, the fauna & flora of the lands (as the Israelis have managed to turn the deserts into European like lands and brought snow fall to Jerusalem & the Egyptians have brought snow fall to Cairo). The idea is not merely to defend the status quo (because then the armed forces may become a hinderance to progress) but to ask for, to know and to forward the nation in everything good.
8. The children of Ibrahim RA were shown a way that encourages them to be innocent & good (innocent of wrong) and to do no harm in reform. May God & His angels defend His peoples against the darkness and bring about an end to all that is wrong so there is no conflict and all may live in the Highest ( & only) heaven.
9. The goal of all existence & endeavors (study, religion, ritual) is to improve the quality of life of all peoples & all life & all matter. This means that the armed forces ought to expend upon R&D particularly genetic and biological improvement of a people. The direction of improvement ought to be once again : improving the quality and appeal of life. A good direction might be : how may we ensure that people after they have processed their foods do not emanate anything toxic. If the honey bee can emit effluvia that is beneficial to the bee and life then so can humanity. Another direction may be this : how may we create a people who are more aesthetically pleasing so folk may all the more love another. Another direction ough to be : how may we reduce the burdens of human life by ridding womankind of menstrual bleeding and having to carry children in the womb (perhaps experiment in external-genesis : or incubating & developing the human embryo into a human child outside the womb). This in the recognition that human kind is for love making and not for bearing children or pains of labor. The right direction is gauged through the study of history & the study of religious ethics & philosophy etc.
