I do get your drift but please understand that martyrdom is a religious concept shared, or should be, by ALL Muslims and it is per se official rhetoric and almost statedogma in Iran. Now ask yourself how many is this life would actually practice it willingly besides the true and purest soldiers of faith? Not many like Hajj Sulaiman?! You're going to make me cry now! In the Islamic Republic there are many who profess faith but would not die for Iran, just as there are many who care nothing for faith but would die for Iran. Not making excuses for the hypocrites but It's the same everywhere. Iran being no exception. Life is indeed sacred and not to taken lightly but believe a life given in service of faith is the purest for of the sanctity of life. I pray I belong among those who have prayed and would welcome martyrdom but I do not know. As for those spoiled boys who are living off their father's names and sacrifices of those that fought and died, then that's on them. If you have children then you know there's nothing one can do but pray for them!
Point still valid. Even those not willing to seek martyrdom deserves protection. Hopefully they're capable technocrates.
Don't tell me you're hanging in the same discos in Dubai and Istanbul my brother?!
