RAWALPINDI, Pakistan -- Pakistan's colonial garrison city of Rawalpindi is dotted with military installations and army-backed businesses enmeshed in civilian life.
Next to the army's sprawling GHQ compound, the Blue Lagoon hosts weddings, runs a restaurant serving everything from "sizzling BBQ" to Chinese food, and offers swimming lessons. Proceeds, the army says, go to the families of shaheeds (martyrs) and wounded veterans.
