Self-reflection

Referring to training materials used at the Army Staff College, she mentions a book discussing the 1965 and 1971 wars. Far from glorifying the military, the book promotes critical self-reflection and a culture of accountability. “It is not about saying everything we do is perfect. It is about ensuring that whatever we do is in service of the public,” she explained.

Captain Emaan underscored self-accountability as a fundamental value within the armed forces while urging citizens to embrace a broader sense of civic responsibility.

What have you done for the country

“Instead of constantly asking what the country has done for us, we should ask what we have done for our country,” she told the audience, echoing a sentiment reminiscent of John F. Kennedy’s famous call to action.

She further highlighted that the strength of Pakistan lies not solely in its army but in the collective efforts of all institutions and individuals working together. “This country runs because of the joint efforts of all institutions,” she stressed, emphasising the need for unity and shared responsibility.

The speech has resonated deeply with many across social media, who have praised Captain Emaan for her honesty, poise, and patriotic message.
