    Off course he was. They will never put anyone as the head researcher of their program if was not a guard member previously or an active member.

    And you need to do some research on who is more complicit in American deaths in Iraq and the destabilization of the region. Hint: it was America, not Iran.

    You just struggle with understanding basic interactions and game theory.

    All these agrresions on Iran just motivated them to push for weapons grade enrichment even more. If your naive understanding of their motivations is from a "doctor evil" standpoint of wanting to nuke Israel at the risk of their own self-preservation, then I guess you would naturally stumble upon your **** takes but if you actually have a pragmatic realistic outlook at Iran's intentions you would know that they want the ultimate "get off my property" yard sign which a nuke is and therefore any actions that threaten Iranian sovereignty is just going to push Iranian leadership to pursue harder on weapons grade enrichment.

    F-14 tomcat Magnaficent fighting machine. Iran still flies many of them. Their regular armed forces is a very professional well informed fighting machine that has refused to be indoctrinated by the Islamic regimes hateful ideologies.

    You can’t reason with a regime that has set its ultimate goal to export their hateful ideology ( so called revolution ) throughout the region via any means possible.


    Stick to you’re harden takes because you literally have no clue about the Middle East

    You really have no shame. The region became what is now from 1979 and onwards. When a crazy bunch of lunatics with a messianic view of exporting political Islam the Shia version throughout the region via any means possible.

    They created Hezbollah and many other little cells to do their dirty bidding. Many former us adminstrations from Clinton and onwards have tried to understand them but in the end they want it all.

    You may not agree, but telling a muslim marine who fought in the middle east for our country to not have strong opinions on the subject might not be fair.

    Who is the marine?. I love to know since I served in Iraq from 2004 to 2009.Well this marine should know about the 1980s bloody bombing that killed 200 of his fellow “marines”in Lebanon via the same regime he is defending.


    So I know a fair bit that region. I’ve served in Afghanistan to. I can speak Farsi, Pashtun and Arabic. Little bit of Kurdish to because of being stationed in Mosul

    So when is the last time Shia extremists committed terror attacks on American soil?

    Last time I checked Saudi extremism and propaganda has resulted in far more westerners deaths. Last time I checked our destabilization of the region has resulted in far more Iraqi deaths than Iran has been responsible for. Last time I checked our false pretenses invasion is the reason why our own servicemembers died.


    And you are an abject naive idiot if you don't think the number one priority for the Iranian regime is self-preservation. The aggressive actions Western allies like Israel are taking is just encouraging Iranian citizens to back the regime in wanting a nuke. This isn't how you win over the actual Iranian people by assasinating their scientists. This gives easy fodder for the Iranian regime to justify weapons grade enrichment to its people. You are a clueless person in this subject matter who is mentally damaged from propaganda.

    Me as a 0311. And btw I'm not going to use my enlisted grunt experience serving in Afghanistan to pretend I'm an expert in Iranian politics and motivation. No I'm basing that from my reading and basic knowledge of game theory without a blinded naive paradigm that the world is divided by "good vs evil". That makes me realize Iran's number one goal will always be self-preservation.

    You also aren't an expert like me. You were enlisted fodder like me who had no understanding of the macro scale. You weren't a commander of a major AO or something in that regard.

    .My issue is not with Islam my issue is with both sides of political Islam/extremists. Be it Shia or Sunni. Be it the crazy lunatics in Iran or the Wahhabism in Saudi and Pakistan

    And Shia version has been responsible for many of our fellow warriors in Iraq or Lebanese territory. That is something I can’t forgive or forget.

    I'm sorry I offended you with the reality that you are abjectly naive on this subject matter and now just try to use your enlisted history as an excuse to believe you are some subject matter expert in Iranian politics.

    No your issue is believing that Iran has motivations higher than self-preservation. You also have a very child like paradigm of "good vs evil" where you believe me suggesting that Iran's number one goal will always be self-preservation means that I'm defending the regime as "good". At no point did I defend the regime as morally good. Not once.

    And if we are going to blame Hillary and Obama for Benghazi, I'm going to blame Reagan, not Iran for the 200 deaths of Marines in Lebenon.

    Absolutely not. Our decision to invade a nation with false pretenses is why our servicembers died their. We only have ourselves to blame. There wasn't any Hezbollah militants planting IEDs in Iraq under Saddam last time I checked.

    The exporting of their revolution is not me saying it, Khomeini the founder of their revolution said it.
