Well they did. They (Arabs) have been thinking about this for decades. Hence every now and then, they call in Pak army to handle dirty stuff for them. From crushing Black September in Jordan in 1970 to crushing Bahraini Arab spring in 2011. From officially PA tanks rolling to "advisers" sent to supervise the situation. Hence the funds for PA modernization both over or under the table.

A Pakistani ex military/LE, can earn literally multiple times his official salary when working in middle east.

Unlike the immensely lazy Arabs who can't fight even if their life's dependent on it, PA was (not anymore) a very British institution which means discipline, training, traditional and all that stuff.
