Among U.S. allies in the war against terrorism, Pakistan cannot be easily characterized as either friend or foe. Nuclear-armed Pakistan is an important center of radical Islamic ideas and groups.

In business, such careerism may well be utilitarian, but in the armed services, it is harmful to military capability & thus to national defense. Members of a new "Military Reform Movement" are disturbed by the focus on careerism, but their demands for military self-reform are misdirected. The services are incapable of self-reform; externally generated reform is the only cure. HA.
