He added Iran’s army with an eight year experience of war and modern tactics

Considering that war was almost 20 years ago I think they’d do better as WW I. reinactors.

The American forces are the only ones current in war fighting and they are doing it on TWO fronts, we are
only now beginning to see the improvements this experience
has produced.

A CHILD OF THE REVOLUTION TAKES OVER.

Ahmadinejad's Demons

During the Iran-Iraq War, the Ayatollah Khomeini imported 500,000 small plastic keys from Taiwan. The trinkets were meant to be inspirational. After Iraq invaded in September 1980, it had quickly become clear that Iran's forces were no match for Saddam Hussein's professional, well-armed military. To compensate for their disadvantage, Khomeini sent Iranian children, some as young as twelve years old, to the front lines. There, they marched in formation across minefields toward the enemy, clearing a path with their bodies. Before every mission, one of the Taiwanese keys would be hung around each child's neck. It was supposed to open the gates to paradise for them.
