Interestingly, it is enough to read a book to understand the role of the Pakistani Military and Islamist cult that positioned themselves as the "so-called" protectors of Islamic ideology in Pakistan, ensuring the continuation of their regimes regardless of the functionality of the state. The U.S.'s role in allying with Pakistan during times of need, such as in Afghanistan and the post-9/11 era etc can be easily understandable. However, it's important to mention the covert role and policies of the U.S. to gain a clear understanding of why Washington tends to support military regimes over civilian ones.
