Well then why not the army come for their protection, perhaps because it's against their prestige to be a guard and protector of the law whereas they perceive themselves to be warriors and masters of the nation. It's no time for arrogance 'under the circumstances' as well but anyways 'under the circumstances' is a nice justification . I agree that 'under the circumstances' it's ok .

My salute 'if they' uproot terrorism . However I still don't think it's going to work. I still think arrangements should be made to let the proper guys do the proper job and only that will work.

On personal level it seems establishing military courts is not just a danger for democracy but it's dangerous for the army itself looking at the present environment. After years of ruling the country it seems the army has grown a political thought of its own that runs within the institution. And it also seems there is two political groups there, one who is still sympathetic to Taliban and one who is vehemently opposed to them and want to finish them off. Thus when there are military courts one segment might still try to get some crooks a bit of relief which can create tensions between army's own ranks. This concern is also making me oppose the idea of military courts.
