Well said. Goose stepping soldiers like the Islamic revolutionary guard corp the modern day equivalent to Himmler's SS! Recollect how those Iraqis put on quite a pretty show by parading their "grandiose" army just before they went into Kuwait? The whole World were in awe with jaws hanging at the sight of their Mighty army Rolling past....but we knew it was just a facade...we knew what would come!
Gurney !
-YOU HAVE been selling your personal lopsided views on the IRI military bit long !. NOW here are some answers hope you might see how far you are with the real world !.
ONE-
You asserted the other day that the lavish show of goose stepping soldiers is synonymous with third world dictatorship -what a joke !.Take time to see the mighty Russian and Chinese ARMY.-But we know, people like you consider the west and the BOD in particular as the only real military because it won against oil producing super army Iraq!, AND illiterate Talibans..
TWO-
seems that you miss the real meaning of goose stepping for soldiers.This is one of the many practices of the military to instill a sense of collective duty, discipline ,cohesion and of course give a Nation a sense of security especially a threatened country like Iran.
THREE
give us tangible reasons why YOU think that every Nation has to emulate the BOD in all matters of the military !.
