Another Iranian general has been killed by the jihadists in Syria, according to Iranian media reports .

Brigadier General Mohsen Ghajarian of the elite Revolutionary Guards was killed in the northern province of Aleppo, according to the Fars news agency, which is close to the Guards.

He is the latest high-profile casualty of Tehran’s efforts to prop up President Bashar al-Assad.

He was advising pro-regime forces in the fight against the Islamic State (ISIS) jihadist group, Fars reported, without saying when he died.

Fars said six Iranian Basij militia volunteers had also been killed in Aleppo province, where the Syrian army, backed by Russian air strikes and Hezbollah , this week launched a major offensive against rebels.

Iran has provided military advisers and frontline fighters to Assad’s army, as well as Iranian, Afghan, Iraqi and Pakistani “volunteers” to fight the rebels.

The latest deaths bring to more than 100 the number of advisers and “volunteers” sent by Iran who have been killed in Syria since the beginning of October, according to an AFP tally.

The casualties include General Hossein Hamedani, a veteran of the Iran-Iraq war who died in October after having conducted 80 missions in Syria.

Iran’s supreme leader says Iranian forces must fight Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq to prevent the militant organization spreading to Iran.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s comments, which were reported by Tasnim news agency Friday, closely followed the announced death of Brigadier General Ghajarian .

The conflict in Syria has killed more than 260,000 people and forced half the country’s people from their homes since March 2011.

            What’s the “Hazara shit”? (The other kinds of shit I’m familiar with).

            Hazara shits are the Mongol left over in Afghanistan. When the mongols invaded Afghanistan the Afghans sunnis resisted against them but the Shias were with the Mongols collaborating and possibly shouting anti Mongol slogan like they always do i.e. Death to America Death to Israel…
            Well , the Afghans drove the mongols out and today those Hazaras are there with a hate filled heart. Iranian shits took the opportunity in sponsoring the Hazaras and send many of them in Syria only to be brought back in the sack.

            These Hazaras in Afghanistan live in a fairy tale world. They dream of the revival of Mongol empire of the past and on top the Iranian shits put some fuel on fire and make them mad against the sunnis as their forefathers were wiped out from Afghanistan by the sunnis . The Hazaras look like Chinese Korean etc. I once met few hazaras in Belgium. I was surprised when they claim that they are Afghans as the Afghans do not look like the Chinese.
            I met one of these hate filled Hazara in my friends grocery shop. There were few customers and the Hazara came in and asked for a five Euro phone card. He spread his money on the counter which was comprised of 1 euro cent! my friend politely ask him to wait as he needs to count those one cent and in the mean time he quickly served the two remaining customer. The hazara was very angry and showing off his arrogance. I then told him that it will take time to count all the 1 euro cent. In one point the Hazara pushed me when he was losing argument. I pushed him back and I think he understood that he is inside the shop and it will be difficult for him to get out from there if he continue his behavior. He was smart and left with his money and kicked the door when he went outside. We didnt pursue him and just let it go as we have our working and social life where we do not want to bring trouble and disrupt our daily life. Thats the first time I knew about them and I have seen a blind hate in their eyes and willing to create any trouble without any valid reason.

            On occasion, anywhere, one can meet up with people who think they are being slighted simply because they exist … or that the world owes them a living … and they will never understand the unsociable behaviour is their own and has caused most of their own troubles. Throw in some ‘religious premise’ and it’s a certifiable nut-case waiting to explode on anyone with ‘self-righteousness’. Stay on guard with those ones.
            Logic doesn’t exist for them.

        These fat asses are in fact Turks from central Asia. If you notice his name Mohsen Ghajarian….That is the old name of the Russian region i.e. Khazaria. This is the reason all the Turks are allied with each other such as Korean ,Chinese Russian ,Indian ruling class who are also Turks. The current Ashkenazim Jews are coming from the same stock and all of them came from Khazaria. Turkey is the only exception who doesn’t get along with the other Turks.

        Probably true in most nasty wars. George A. Custer was a lieutenant at the start of the American Civil War. Two years later, he was made Brigadier General (of the Volunteers.) Custer didn’t move the ranks at all for the 10 years he was in the military after the end of the Civil War.

          Different time. Promotions in the military are quite different now.

            Not really. In major wars, the army tends to promote officers quickly. A more recent example was Omar Bradley. Late 1940 he was still a lieutenant colonel, a rank he received in 1936. Yet in early 1941, he was promoted to brigadier general rank, and a year later to major general, then again a year later to the rank of lieutenant general, leaping over his former boss, General Patton. Even more spectacular was the rise of General Eisenhower. Deemed an officer with a dead-end career in the 1930s, he had little battlefield experience and was a mere colonel despite several decades of service. General Marshall spotted his organizational and political skills in 1941, and assigned him to staff-level posts in Washington D.C, and in 1942, he leaped over all other generals to be become the Commanding General of the European theater with the rank of lieutenant general, coordinating all the Western Allies generals including the indomitable Montgomery who thought himself more deserving of the post.

            The USA is not involved in a costly war in terms of human lives (on the US side.) That’s why you don’t see fast promotion. Wait until there is one.

    In fact, Iranian uniforms don’t look that bad. But what’s the deal with the caps? Their silliness kinda ruins the respectable look.

      Proper military hats cost a lot to make. And those Russian ones must take the cake. :-))

    Brigadier general is a senior ranked officer, but far from “top”. It’s just one rank above colonel. The way I see it, the Iranian officer corps is getting battlefield experience.

    1. Rudy1947 Avatar

      But very far from the “bottom”. The enlisted and junior officers look to them as leaders. If the leaders aren’t capable, then morale takes a hit.

      Just like his title says, a brigadier general once deployed on the front is in charge of one brigade, roughly 4,000 soldiers. in a theater like Syria, I’d put this guy among the top 5 Iranian officers in charge of the whole war. Generals are not lost so easily in a war. For a BG to go down, it’s whether the whole brigade that’s gotten decimated, or he was targeted by a direct attempt on his person, because generals are not shooting on the front but rather in war rooms away from the front and managing the battle.
      In both cases (and I think the rebels hunted him down in an operation) it is a big deal to loose a BG, because if the leader of 4K men is not safe how would feel all 4K men.
      Concerning the battlefield experience. Sure, every soldier in a war wins experience, but for such experience to be handy for the future, such soldier should at least survive the war. Definitely not the case for this general…
