I'm not saying these men are right but your line of reason is how the massacre in Tiananmen Square occured.
That is why leadership is so important. The PLA's leaders instilled enough faith that the country was in peril that Tienimen happened.

The Pak leadership has thus far failed to instill the need to do what's necessary.
