Very interesting clip showing young an Iranian boy begging to get onboard the bus to volunteer to fight in the Iran-Iraqwar. It is often said that these children were brainwashed and "forced" to join the war. But in this video you can clearly see this child begging and being told to go to school instead. It is also hard to argue that such a spirit and motivation to join the war was imposed. In a war atmosphere and environment where one's nation is invaded, the spirit of brotherhood and selflessness clearly emerged, even amongst our youth. I honor all the brave soldiers of Iran which fought against the western tool Saddam in the 8 year war. Anyhow, check out the clip:

sick video

by MRX on

Nothing great or honorable about this video. Reality is, if islamo
facist thugs didn't come to power in Iran there wouldn't have been a
war with Iraq in the first place.Further more if this bastereds didn't
nearly destroy the armed forces with purges and executions, Saddam
wouldn't have dared to invade Iran, subsequently we wouldn't have had
all this fiasco.

I'd be honored

by Ali (not verified) on

If I had a son who believed in something so much that he'd give his life for it. Iranians should be proud that there were kids like this at one point in Iran's history.

It's not about Islam or the Islamic Republic...it's about dying for your beliefs, KEEPING YOUR LAND and STOPPING AND ILLEGAL OCCUPATION.

This little boy is a true symbol of what Iranians once were. I guess things have changed within just a few years, but looking at this child can bring tears to anyone's eyes.

Not Brainwashed...

by Ali (not verified) on

I grew up in the US, and all I hear about is kids being brainwashed in Iran and promised 72 virgins etc etc by the US Media, however I do remember this when I was in the first grade..I had to learn the "Pledge of Allegiance"

I guess from that point on I too have been brainwashed and have "Pledged allegiance to a flag". I didn't understand it then as I didn't understand when kids in Russia spoke without raising their hands they'd be shot immediately in front of the other school children and that I should be happy to live in the old US of A. After hearing that in the first grade, I was extremely happy to live here in the US and was very willing to pledge "allegiance" to this flag.

If what has happened to this boy in Iran is called brainwashing in his school as many claim, then I shall be the first to claim that I too was brainwashed in my younger years in school in the US.

How is he brainwasheD?

by BRAVE YOUTH~! (not verified) on

You guys claim that this kid is brainwashed? YET he is being STOPPPPPPPPPED from joining the war in this video. I simply do not understand your logic. If he was being FORCED to get on the bus, then ok. but i wonder if you guys watched the video. he is being PREVENTED from joining and being told to go TO SCHOOOOL! Sometimes people really just argue to argue. You can't argue that point since it doesnt reconcile itself with the fact in the video!

This young generation can

by Ye irani (not verified) on

This young generation can not be understood by us. One needs to live in the same atmosphere to understand that a 13 or 16 year yound boy is a brave equal of a 30 year old guy grown up outside. They grow up with real depravation, see their brothers and friends going to war, hear about their dads being killed in the war. They mabe 13 or 16 but they are mentally more grown up than us.

Well!

by Concerned Iranian (not verified) on

The problem is: It is neither Islamic nor a Republic! It is a Hashalhaf of bunch of opportunists who have seized power and are comfortably enjoying its fruits. If you are with them, good for you, it must be nice to belong to the class of wealthy imbecils. If you are not with them, then you are not even enjoying the wealth and are simply, yet inadvertently supporting that class. Either way, they (and you) are in and the majority is out.

The child is suffering

by Dr. zigmond Freud and his assistant Marilyn Mornoe (not verified) on

The best can be said about this child's ailment is depression and norosis. He at that particularly difficult time for Iran was suffering from adolescence depression.

It has nothing to do with patriotism.

Most probably the child was also abused at some stage of his young life, who knows how or by whom.

I am sure the government had no objective to necessarily take these kids up front. It was a total chaos, when they knew the MOTHER FUCKERS FRENCH pilots were bombing the Iranian cities, the Americans were sending arms to Iraq and so did the Russians. The only mother fucker that was selling arms to our poor country was China with their half ass Silk Worm Missiles.

But I have to repeat, very recently it was revealted the MOTHER FUCKERS FRENCH army and airforce was literally flying the Mirage for the fucking Saddam's Army, IRAN WAS NOT JUST FIGHTING IRAQ. IRAN WAS FIGHTIN MOTHER FUCKER WEST, ALL OF IT, ALL OF IT.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY.

WHEN THEY BROUGHT KHOMEINI TO IRAN IT APPEARED SIMPLE, BUT THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO DEMORALIZE A NATION.

THE FACT THAT MOTHER FUCKER NETHERLAND DOES NOT ALLOW IRANIANS TO STUY PHYSICS, IS NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE AFFRAID OF NUCLEAR BUMB, THEY WANT TO DEMORALIZE A NATION.

FUCK MOTHER FUCKERS BRITISH FAGS
FUCK MOTHER FUCKERS UGLY FRENCH GAY NATION
FUCK GERMANY A
FUCK RUSSIA

Using patriotic, religious,

by Ali (not verified) on

Using patriotic, religious, epic and emotional arguments, slogans and songs to recruit volunteers to defend the country during war time is NOT brainwashing. This is a common practice all over the world and it has been so since the beginning of history.

No one is denying that the Iranian government was also using these techniques to recruit soldiers to go to war against Iraq, but they did NOT force anyone (adult or minor) to join the war. The official age to join the Basij was 15, and most of these teens from borderline town that were directly touched by the war. Because they had first hand lived and felt the imminent threat of war on themselves and their families and felt the survival urge to fight back.

Very rare were the Tehrani teens who joined the war just because their principle supposedly "convinced" them that by getting crushed by an Iraqi tank, they would go to heaven!

As Iranians we all owe everything we have, and I mean everything, to these exceptional people (young and old, religious and secular) who put themselves in great pain and suffering to defend us. Some of them, who happened to survive, are still tremendously suffering from the injuries, disabilities, exposure to chemical weapons, or extreme financial hardship that resulted from their volunteer acts of bravery. We ought to treat them and talk about them with utmost respect and veneration. Calling them "brainwashed" and implying that they were "fooled" to protect us, is plain ignorant, snobbish and ungrateful.

War

by David ET on

There is no doubt that many brave Iranians defended our country. Arguing over the key to heaven and this child at this time is pointless but what  matters is what really caused all this death , destruction and suffering for so many years: 1- Islamic Regime leaders continuously bragged about exporting their "Islamic Revolution" to neighboring Iraq with majority Shia population. They also tried to influence this through Mullahs in Iraq. 2- Instead of taking care of Iranians , IR also started its retherics with US and West and put Iran in isolarion. 3- Saddam who had the "green light" attacked Iranian soil 4- Brave Iranians defended their country and many got killed 5- Iraqi's were forced back behind the borderlines and Saddam offered peace 6- Khomeini and IR Regime who were taking advantage of the war to justify their internal deficiencies and were also removing all the opposition meanwhile , refused to stop the war wanting to reach KARBALA! 7- The second phase (IR aggression)continued and many more died 8- US and west were pleased to see two of their enemies were busy fighting each other while selling them weapons 9- Khomeini accepted the defeat (poison) Yes Iran was saved by the brave Iranians who fought with their lives to save Iran from the consequences of the war of Khomeini and saddam. The one to blame for starting the war is Saddam but he never dared to attach Iran during the last regime. The ones to blame for all the death and destruction are the leaders of the Islamic Regime in Iran and these videos do not change the fact they were responsible for the misery's of their war.

Maryam, how could you?

by Anonymous_Flowers (not verified) on

I only had to read the first 3 sentences to understand the gist of your arguement. Your opinion is absurd and based on completely false notions. Ask yourself, would that young boy been have been given any proper armour, training, or other equipment if he has been foolish enough to join that war? Or would he have just been given a "key"? I think we all know the answer. as a woman, how could you stand behind anything this regime has done?

Brain washing

by Behrooz (not verified) on

I can't believe there are people here who try to deny the brain washing that was going on in those days in schools. I was one of those children that were being told on a daily basis how by going to war I would ensure my parents, siblings etc would all go to heaven if we went to war. How glorioius and brave those kids that went to jebheh, (having lied about their age) tied grenades to their waists and jumped in front of Iraqi tanks were. How by doing this act they had ensured they and their family would be on Gods right hand side. In fact I remember the line being used that since our parents had done so much for us, it would be our ultimate gift to secure their place in heaven and the only way we could ensure spending eternity with them. I bought all this. I was truelly brainwashed. I was ready to go to the front line for my parents and my country . I wasn't the only one either. The School principal had half of our class convinced.They had even told us how to lie about our age to sneak in and how not to tell our parents until after we had gone. I was 11 years old! Does this sound sane to anyone?? Luckily my father stopped me and took me out of that situation.
Please don't make excuses for this regime when you haven't experienced their handiwork.

To mash mandali

by Ali (not verified) on

I am so sorry to hear about your horrible experience. But I do believe that those soldiers (including your brother) who lost their lives in the Iran-Iraq war, died indeed to serve "Good" against "Evil". And by "Good" I don't mean the Islamic Republic, but the life, integrity, culture and territory of Iran.

And I truly believe that the soldiers who went to war did so based on their sense of duty, values, unconditional love of others, love of their country, love of their culture and beliefs...etc NOT to satisfy a sexual urge for " virgins"!! NOT because they were "brainwashed"!!

And NO ONE forced them to go to war. That's a huge lie. Millions of adult males did not go to war because they simply didn't want to or because they had other responsibilities...etc Adult males were not forced to go to war, let alone children!

Maybe we should take a look at our own beliefs for once and ask ourselves if WE have not been brainwashed all these years, to take as facts many unfounded rumors and lies.

I just wanted to say that this is a segment from Shahid Morteza Avini's tv series "Ravayat'e Fath" (The Chronicles of Victory).

There are more clips from it on this website:
//www.aviny.com/

It is one of the most beautiful and emotion things ever to grace a television screen. Truly a stunning experience. In my opinion it should be seen by all Iranians, especially by these ex patriots who spend all there time insulting everyone and everything Iranian. I just want to say I really get disgusted reading some of the comments here. What a shame..

PLASTIC KEYS?

by PlasticKeys (not verified) on

The myth of the "plastic keys" was first started by the Mujahideen Khalqh and the western press has kept repeating it (following Hitler's motto that if you say a lie enough times, people will believe it).

As Dr. Algar of UC Berkeley has stated, "if their were such plastic keys, wouldn't we have at least a few hundred out of 1 million of supposed keys as proof of their existence?"

I mean, not everyone died in the war, and many people didn't even make it to the war front. How come their is no evidence or even a single existance of these plastic keys. 1 MILLION plastic keys, yet you don't have proof of a single one?

Stop the LIES.

Put it this way

by aryamehr (not verified) on

Maybe this scenario would make you understand this better:

An Israeli tank comes into a Palestinian village and bulldozes down a home, takes your dad to jail and your mom gets raped.

You are 11 years old. Are they mentally challenged when they want to fight and throw rocks and stand up against this occupation?

Iraq INVADED Iran. A kid doesn't have to be 100% mature to have the DESIRE to fight and defend his country.

YET---This video shows that the people stopped the kid from coming, saying he should stay and STUDY!!! So stop kidding yourselves.

A bit suspicious

by Maznoon! (not verified) on

I salute all those who fought for our homeland's sake, not for some Islamic-brand lie. However, this video in my opinion is misguided because
1) it involves a child who, no matter how sincere, is mentally incapable of making a potential life and death decision(hence the international law banning use of child soldiers).
2)The adults seem to push with their hands and pull with their feet(as the old Persian saying goes), kind of like a hot Taarof situation.

What brainwashing?!!!!

by Ali (not verified) on

Please people stop using the stupid post 9/11 clichés about your own country!! What "keys to heaven"??!! What "72 virgins"?!! What "brainwashing"?!!!! It is an insult to the Soul of the wonderful brave people who defended our land and integrity to say that they were "brainwashed" or that they did so because they had "plastic keys to heaven" around their neck or wanted the "72 virgins"!!

These teens grew up in the middle of a huge revolution , intense political activities, a war, and all kinds of social political and philosophical debates that took place around them...etc Especially the ones who lived at the border towns and felt the horrifying threats of war first hand. Of course they were more mature than the average American or European (or even rich North Tehrani)children who were never exposed to this environment. And course their decision to go to war was based on more solid grounds than a "key to heaven" or "72 virgins" and other stupid post 9/11 style clichés.

It is not because you people do not understand the feelings of this child that you have the right to call him brainwashed!!

CHILD MURDERING?????

by childlover (not verified) on

The clip shows that everyone is encouraging the kid NOT to go to war. How are you guys twisting this around to say that they are sending children to war?

They are clearly telling the kid to "go study...you are too young for war, you should go to school."

You guys must be living in another dimention because you are twisting things into the EXACT opposite of what they are.

Sickening Clip

by Mort Gilani on

A good example of a violent construct that encourages the murdering of children based on the Islamic culture of martyrdom and defeat.  That is why all Islamists are a bunch of losers.
