| US should not force help on Pakistan's army: Military official

| Cautioning America against thrusting "help" on Pakistan's army, a top US military official has said Washington should take into account Islamabad's "willingness" while extending military support.
The US should be cautious in dealing with Pakistan's army, to prevent sending an impression to Pakistani people that their army is "an extension" of the American military, Admiral Eric Olson, Commander of US Special Operations Command told lawmakers during a Congressional hearing on Thursday.
"I think that we can't help Pakistan more than they want to be helped. And one of the filters on sort of their willingness to be helped is how the Pakistan military is perceived within Pakistan," he said.
Observing that the Army is the strongest institution of Pakistan historically, Olson in his testimony before the House Armed Services Committee said it is the element of government upon which the people depend.
