The use of small children - basij - in human wave assaults and for mine clearing in the Iran/Iraq war is beyond my comprehension. There was a documentary at the time featuring an Iranian family whose very young son had been persuaded to join the basij.

His contribution to the war effort was to join several hundred other children who stampeded toward Iraqi lines - that were heavily mined. He kicked a 'bouncing betty' type of mine that popped up and detonated at about the height of his chest, literally tearing his face off. I mean, the kid was messed UP!.

But Mom & Dad were all proud - especially Mom who said something to the effect, "Western women can't understand our pride!" I should say not.

But that's what basij did at the time. Ground assaults through mine fields unsupported by artillery or air assets. I think now they are more of a revolutionary guard type of organization.
