So, Army Morale is Poor?

Iran is exercising their army and air force in their Kurdish regions. I found this bit from Iran's state-run television rather interesting:

The broadcast says the exercise is aimed at boosting Iran's defense capabilities, upgrading the morale of the army and displaying the might of the country's air force.


Upgrading the morale of the army? That's an interesting admission. The regular army has never been trusted by the mullahs.

As to displaying the so-called might of the air force, I'd think the Iranians would do better to conceal from foreigners that precise assessment.

I do hope, against all apparent hope, that the Iranian army will have better political masters in the near future.
