The generals have always placed the institution of the military above all else, including rulers from their own ranks. If they come to believe that Musharraf is sinking, they can be counted on to cut him loose, especially if he becomes a civilian.
尽管穆沙拉夫最近做出任命，他也无法指望军队。军队将军一向把军队机制放在其他之上，包括自己的上级。如果他们认为穆沙拉夫来日无多，他们就会不听从穆沙拉夫的调遣，特别是他成为文官的时候。
