Agreed very much! however Iranians (we) fought bravely with our bare hands to drive the enemy out of the country!

It is fair to say that in case of a war (God Forbids) between the US and Iran, Iran has no slightest chance.

But despite the US arm embargo and the unbelieveable support (Eurowhinnies gave them weapons, Russians gave them SAMs, Tanks, jets, copters, vehicles, rifles..etc) Iraqis had in 1980s, I still believe, Iranians did some thing incredible!

Look, I am not an extrem nationalist and admit to the failure of my nation bravely and over the time I have criticized the status of my homeland.

But even as a viewer, it is unfair to deny what Iran did militarily during the 80s.

My dad was one of those who helped install AGM-65s (the whole system had to be reconfigured) on AH-1Js years before the Americans do it.

Or the fact that as the imposed Iraqi war (1980-89 ) was bravely fought and won. That is one thing any fair viewer can admit to it
