why does every article i see involving rawalpindi, pakistan refer to it as a "garrison city" or "garrison town"?
"garrison city" seems to be twice as popular as "garrison town" but it is really odd that almost every news article uses one or the other. is there any other city or town in the world that is that garrisony? is "the garrison city" rawalpindi's official motto? if so, they forgot to put it on the city's official web site.
maybe it's more of an unofficial nickname, like "the windy apple".
