This will not happen in Pakistan. Pakistan needs a strong army and the army is very respected by everyone.

We too should do the same and then cut Army's budget by 90%. No more billionaire generals or those who move to Dubai with hundreds of millions.

Why is army needed at all? For them, India is a friendly neighbor and there is no one surrounding them.

Pakistan has always maintained a large army by showing an unwarranted threat from India and in reality to suppress people! Army will always dominate Pakistan politics!

India has never attacked Pakistan till date and it never will.
Pakistan must maintain sufficient army to defend western borders and internal issues which police can not handle.

@ramesh, Considering the fact that India has never fully accepted the existence of Pakistan and indulged in direct and indirect forms of aggression, Pakistan needs a strong army to deter Indian designs!

@The Man Who Knew Too Much, Strong army is very much needed for the viability of country, but out of control Generals need to be tamed!

Cutting military is not easy. Just ask Pakistan, will it do the same? The answer is no.

Pakistanis are commenting that India want to finish Pakistan, but India is not foolish, like British who kept Afghanistan as buffer state to stop the Russia. India needs Pakistan existence to stop the Islamic fanatics from Iran and Afghanistan

When India is the nearest country which never invaded another country ias far as the history goes Sri Lanka can afford to cut its army size and can have strategic alliance with India.
Pakistan unnecessarily spending big chunk of its limited income on defence and starve its citizens
