Some Pakistanis are also worried that Asim Munir might be assassinated during his US visit. They are drawing comparisons with Israel killing Iranian generals.

It turns out that in Pakistan, one can fail at any kind of war with India and still win accolades. Gen Pervez Musharraf lost the 1999 Kargil War, yet he became president. Gen Ayub Khan, who lost in 1965 as a Field Marshal, would be proud of me today.
