FAIR

dipstick of all persuations

tagord must be pressed from the Hezbollah high command..(LOL) to get info here; he's persistent. Like I said roosh ziyade.

This dipshit has tried to get answers to where I went to high school before - like he'd know where that would be - to pass on to his bearded anti iran goons.

No more information for you tagord.

Now scram.

The REAL Fraud is you the terrorist

Oh, I can answer these questions alright.  I just won't do so for a terrorist like you.  I have provided enough details of my combat record without making it easy to identify me.  Indeed there are many veterans of this war who are not in good standing with mullahs and will take steps to protect their identity.  The fact that you have not encountered any of them (if you are not lying) means YOU are a fraud when it comes to researching about this conflict.  Like I said, you are nobody to pass judgement on anybody here, you are a stateless terrorist who parasitically benefits at the expense of the Iranian people. I did what what my country needed me for, which is WAY more than I can say for you (depending on which country you are from).

What a cop out, Fair. You're

What a cop out, Fair. You're the very first person I've encountered that hasn't provided specific details of their combat record. All the rest are quite proud to answer such questions. And they live in Iran. They're not cowards."OPSEC," what a joke.

YOU"RE A FRAUD, unless you can answer these questions.

I have to say, this doesn't come as a big surprise. Still, it does dishonor the real veterans. Despicable. 

Anon

There are a number of Iranian veterans on the web that are more than happy to answer questions, verify information and provide invaluable technical assistance. Just last month they helped me identify the rank and unit of a particular soldier in a submitted photo.

So you're plain wrong, Anon. But that's no surprise: you're merely displaying stereotypical emotionalism. 

Anyway, looking forward to the answers... 

Thank you all, let us never forget

Thank you all for your kind comments, and thank you MM for authoring that heart wrenching yet inspiring story of two human beings that happen to be from Iran and Iraq.  Wonderfully Done. Let us never forgot those of us who never came home.

As for the terrorist stateless troll who gives himself the rank of major, I am sure indeed you are looking forward to the answers to yourquestions, as are your bosses in MOIS and VEVAK.  Why don't I just make it easy for you and go ahead and give you my full name, address, phone number, hours of movement, etc. so you you and your barbarian masters can do to my what you did to hundreds of patriotic innocent Iranians living abroad.  OPSEC is indeed applicable here, because there is still a war going on (your military dictator and his top general Jaafari and the rest of his junta call it jange narm.  If you don't understand what that means, find an Iranian who can translate it for you badbakht).

This is what they do to IRGC war heroes families who were completely loyal to the supreme leader and gave their lives during the war:

//www.bbc.co.uk/persian/iran/2010/09/100922_l...

Again, you can ask an Iranian to translate for you.  This is the treatment that loyal soldiers of this regime get, why should I expect to be treated any kinder.  I am an open opponent of Khomeini and Islamic rule, and would immediately be judged "at war with God".

So, self proclaimed terrorist major, I will gladly answer these questions one day when Iran is free and Iranians are free to speak and believe what they wish.  In the meantime, perhaps you can share with the readers here where your rank of major was obtained.  Otherwise, you can take your questions and put them where your head is (a place where the sun does not shine very much).  The simple fact is, you turned your back on the people of Iran when we were invaded in 1980 in our greatest moment of need, and you turn your back on them today.  You are nobody to speak of Iran and patriotism and call anybody else "exile" or "rejected", as you do not speak for Iran or our people, and have betrayed them bitterly.

Yeah right, Rostam. These

Yeah right, Rostam. These are the types of questions posed to many combat veterans, particularly from military historians.

I have contacts with military historians in Iran. The information could be useful. It also requires verification.

That should be straightforward. Looking forward to Fair's answers.

thanks fair

for remiding every body of those 8 sensless years in the history book of our lives ; yes indeed NEVER AGAIN.

no need to mention my personal loses just to say that at my age reading your blogs brought non stopable tears.........

BTW SARGOH  PLEASE TAKE YOUR 7 Q's and ....it .          Maziar

Good blog. Thank you for ur service. R u the 2nd in the picture?

Everything is sacred

An absolutely beautiful and heartfelt blog

"Never again" should be engraved in every ones mind, heart and soul. The devastation caused by a moronic war that touched so many lives either directly or indirectly is sickening.

I also like to take this moment to thank every person regardless of the source of their motivation, ideology or reasoning for taking arms and defending Iran for their services.

Dear Fair, I salute to you for your sacrifice and services to our mother land and defending her.

Mehrdad

P.S. thanks MM for sharing that story and link

  Dear Fair: We honor

Dear Fair: We honor your service and sacrifice and salute you for being the voice of those whose lives were taken away too soon for nothing else but pure dogma and hatred of others in their hearts.

Unfortuantely, an entire class of Basij and hizballoh have been raised on nothing else but hatred, racism, and love of war to become canon fodders when the old greedy men are ready to utilize them when their power to plunder the national resources is threatned to cease.  

I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.

Sargord Pirouz

You are asking very good questions indeed Sargord, very much like an Iraqi officer would ask his prisoner during the war, or a Gestapo officer would ask one of his many preys, or... perhaps more likely, an IRI information ministry officer would ask his soon to be tortured victim...

But what you should know is that we don't need a garbage like you who can't even speak Farsi to come in here and interrogate a good man and a survivor of the war. In other words and in simpler terms that someone like you could underestand: Go fxxx yourself asshole.

People like you need a "full treatment" in a place like Evin in order to understand why people might be reluctant to indulge you with their personal information and specially with the full details of their past military service. Unfortunately, you and your cohorts have not yet been on the victim end of the stick, but rather have always been on the "interrogator" side of the stick.

And this creates habits that are difficult to quit. Does it not, troll?

Fair, I salute you and I hope we Iranians continue to remind ourselves of the horrors of the Iran-Iraq war and the pain and suffering that it brought to all the mothers, families and soldiers, many of whom to this date are still paying the price for the arrogance of Saddam and the incompetence of the mollahs as well as for the indifference of Khomeini for human lives.

An arrogance, incompetence and indifference that today is being sadly renewed and repeated in the likes of Ahmadinejad and his supporters. Let us pray that this time they will not succeed in leading our country to yet another disastrous war.

Thanks for this blog

We Iranains are resilient people. Look at us: from arabs (Ghadesiyeh) to Taymoor to Changeez to Ottomans, to Brits and of course, the second Ghadesiyeh, we're still standing. We're battered and bruised; our identity is subject to constant attack, we are known as representatives of a pariah state, yet we persevere, we  survive and we move on.

You are absolutely right: It is our resolve and determination that made us survive the Iraqi attacks as well as 31 years of constant assault on our identity and culture.

This too shall pass. I only hope we learn from it

@MM: Reality more shocking than fiction

I just finished watching The Tale of the Two Soldiers...WoW!

I think JJ wants us to have one full seance of "geryeh zaari" each night! last night I watched the Still Life and sobbed like a lunatic and now this...If I had read a book with this synopsis I'd have dismissed it as being too cheesy.

But kidding aside, thank you so much for this wonderful documentary! I think everyone should watch it and I wish I could provide a link in English for my non-Iranian friends.

Agree, Fair. War is the

Agree, Fair. War is the worst. 

On another thread you provided an incomplete service record of your war experience in the IRIA, claiming "OPSEC." 

Why "OPSEC?" You're not currently IRIA, and you're not part of VEVAK. Nor are you part of US IC, as no one from such would make the comments you do here on Iranian.com. 

So here's the relevant questions again, plus a few more:

1) Dates of conscripted military service.

2) Unit(s) you served in. 

3) Name of your Brigade or Division Commander.

4) Dates served on the southern Khuzestan area. Was that your only posting?

5) What campaigns were you involved with post-liberation of Khorramshahr?

6) Specific armored vehicle(s) and AT weaponry you were trained on. 

7) Your induction and retirement ranks. 

Looking forward to your responses. 

Fair - Thanks for a passionate plea

I also put up a news story for the occasion on two Iraqi&Iranian soldiers who first met each other in Khorramshahr and then 20 years later, they met again at the doorsteps of depression/PTSD with thoughts of suicide and how they helped each other this time, in Canada

You may want to mention all the Khuzestanis who fought shoulder to shoulder in the Iranian Army and all the non-Iraqi Arabs from other countries and our own Iranian MKO who went to help Saddam

Bottom line - war is hell

Macabre remembrance...

Thank you so much, dear Fair, for this macabre reminder (especially now)....so powerfully and beautifully written!

"Never again should an Iranian child be running from a barbarian's missile fired at her home." 

Yes, Never, never again.
