Iran commemorated the national Army Day today with military parades held at the mausoleum of the Founder of the Islamic Republic, the late Imam Khomeini.
Cool Mahmoud in shades.

What’s this, a Rambo reunion convention?
Joe Boxer commented:
What is this?
Trent commented:
You will learn to fear the pugil stick.
Who do they have as their publicist? Because I want to hire them.
Chad commented:
My first thought is it’s American Gladiator vs. Chewbacca.
Then I realized it’s an Iranian parade…so Iranian Gladiator vs. Mullah Chewbacca.
Mike commented:
Ok. Iranian Gladiator, sponsored by Adidas!!
Chisum commented:
FINALLY!
Red State/Blue State Gladiator Match!
Kevin commented:
Just for clarity, those are snipers wearing ghillie suits, while not something American forces would consider parade garb you have to understand that the Irainian forces would not be push overs in a shooting war. They would certainly lose, but there would be a fight to be had as well.

“Hey, Bubba, hold my beer. You still got that propane torch? Watch me have some fun with these Woolly-Buggers!!!!”
DINORight commented:
The top pic is of soldiers in ghilly suits: white for snow/mountain camo, beige and green for land. The pugilists look like Red vs. Blue soldiers. These guys, wearing modern gear, remind me of Nazi soldiers on parade, or Stalin’s troops marching for his review.
What are they gearing up for?! Can you say annihilation of Israel?
And Obama wants to make nice and negotiate with the likes of these totalitarian fascists!!??
I’ll say it again: 2012 can’t come soon enough.
Rick commented:
Oh sh_t! Iran has recruited the Rock’em Sock’em robots to ride a massive heard of resurrected Wooly Mamoths to fight the infidels. We’re f___d now.
Opaobie commented:
Thoughtful of them to wear their own body-bags…complete with tie straps….
Adirondack Patriot commented:
One of these years, Mossad will have some of their guys dress up as a wooly worm, take out two or three real wolly worms, mingle in with the wolly worms with loaded rifles, march in the parade, and . . . you do the math.
Inshallah.
pamlinson commented:
Looks like a Yeti convention. Hope somebody brought deoderant.

LOL.
You made my day.
averagemelon commented:
I wonder how pugil sticks fend off sniper rifles? And the wooly suits look pretty warm in the desert heat…..
John Difool commented:
I guess the main objective of the Iranian Joust Brigade is to keep the enemy pissing their pants laughing while the guys in the ghillie suits sneak up behind them.
Alana commented:
Rock ‘em Sock ‘em robots – lol
Oldsailor commented:
I didn’t know cousin IT was Iranian.
Opaobie commented:
Thundering in the background, swelling Ahm-in-a-jihad’s heart with pride, is their fierce, fighting, march song…..
Warthog commented:
Aww, they left out the pictures of the mechanics parading with their toolboxes or the nurses in their white medical burkas blowing proudly in the breeze…
Andreas K. commented:
It would depend on how the fight would work out. In today’s politically correct world, Iran would not be fought with the full might of the US military employed. Thus it would be costly.
If it would be fought properly, like a real war, Iran wouldn’t withstand a day.
The pugil stick is also employed by, for example, the USMC. The fights with it are a good tool to bring out the fighting spiring in Marine recruits.
The ghillies aren’t field ready. Nobody would go into combat with such clean ghillie suits. German KSK and our Jagdkommando tend to drag their ghillies around with their vehicles for a while, then apply everything else that’s needed. And the white ghillies are a bit pointless in snow. We don’t even use them in our Gebirgsjägers. Pointless.
citizenjane commented:
I like how all of the colors of people are represented in their Wookie portion of the parade. I didn’t expect Iran to be so sensitive. ~~~it’s a small caliphate after all~~ ~~~it’s a small caliphate after all~~~ C’mon! Everybody!
Opaobie commented:
As the flight of four American jets rolls off the perch and starts down the chute with targets in sight:
Lead, “If you’ve got ‘em smoke ‘em!
gus commented:
I thought Opie was going to make friends with these guys. Maye next term.
David_V. commented:
Yay, the circus finally came to Iran. Wait, what was i thinking, Iran is a Three Ring Circus.
David_V. commented:
You know why their is no animals at this circus, they can’t stand the smell of these people.
kansas commented:
They invited Ringo to the parade. Damn nice of them I’d say.
Betsy Ross commented:
Whoa! It’s like Star Wars the B movie version…
Muffin commented:
Is that what they make the military women wear? I guess if those are the choices I’d take the black burqa. Black is slimming. Woolly wear is, well, not.
Reaganite Republican commented:
Nuke their little Halloween party NOW, Bibi
Trick or Treat, Ahmed!
Andreas K. commented:
By the way. The Japanese are doing similar things in their parades. And they have MANY of those.
As seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz0s3icITjQ
And here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNVqyV5PWgs
Plus live fire excercizes where people can watch, most famously at Mt Fuji. Pretty damn cool.
Neo commented:
Damn, a resurgence of “Rock’em Sock’em Robots”
Ginger commented:
Wonder how hot thay are under those cute little costumes? hahahahahahahaha
Uggy parfait commented:
Iranian’s have a sense of humor? Or are they serious? Do their cannon spit-fire lego-blocks?
donh commented:
I did not know Badmood Akmydhimitax was such a fan of the Star Wars trilogy… http://www.adliterate.com/archives/clone%20troopers.jpg
Kevin commented:
I hate these bastages as much as anyone can as well, but the quickest way to lose a fight is to dismiss and undersestimate your opponet, no matter who they are.
greg commented:
What is so special about a Gilly suit. Every turkey hunter has to have one from Cabeloes
Josh commented:
Those aren’t Ghillie suits and those aren’t soldiers folks!
If you would just do some research, you will see that this the parade is where Iran unveils and celebrates their successes in science. The first picture reveals a new breed of Iranian sheepdogs while the third picture is the new line of Jihadi underoos to be sold only in the middle eastern markets. Ahmadinejad’s Jihadi Underoos comes with padded gloves and padded pugil sticks so that you can practice beating up Jews and Westerners on your little sister or your mother, without actually giving them permanent brain damage. If you look at the wonderful sword shaped sticker on the side of the box, it says that the detonation chord and explosive charges are sold seperately. You can’t put all of the fun in just one box.
Seriously folks.. do some research and find out where these pictures come from, before you go and assume that these pictures were taken on Army day. Ahmadinejad is a fashion genius as well as a man of peace who knows what it takes to be the new bully in town.
Derka Derka!! Muhammed Jihad!!
Spike commented:
These guys are f’ng Morons …are we supposed to be intimidated by this military parade, they look like jackasses parading around like that
citizenjane commented:
They have protective padding. BEWARE!!
Somewhat Reasonable Voice commented:
I’m just glad they didn’t march the proctologists. What they would be carrying would be a visual I don’t need. Perhaps camo enema bottles?
vagabond trader commented:
That first pic reminds me the floor needs to be mopped and the maid just quit.
uggy parfait commented:
The first photo appears to be a racist tableua of Asians and Italians. These monkeys are wearing ‘spaghetti camouflage’ hopeing they can sneak into Grandma’ MommaMia & Daddie’ Italian eatery and steal a pot of noodles, stealthy-style.
conservativeczar commented:
If I were Prez, I would drop a tactical nuke on that parade.
No One Ever Called Him Barack "Leadership" Obama commented:
I have to say the latest style of “hairy burka” is even more absurd than the traditional full-repression burka…
Bill Sheldon commented:
It looks like a cross between a Star Wars convention and a gay rights parade.
Redpillpatriot commented:
You guys are too funny.. I almost p@ssed myself reading the comments… and seeing the pictures..
Big L commented:
“Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully~”
Remembee the Palestinian troops would dive thru rings-of-fie and tumble ony to rise up and LUNGE! that was a great hit/
Then there was the palestine car-swarm wherein the swarmers would grab hands full of still-
smoking flesh.
MWTexas commented:
Everything about that parade is cartoonish.
Look at the big hats those officers next to monkey boy are wearing. Straight out of the Jessica Rabbit movie.
The viewing deck for a military parade covered with flowers?
Rock ‘em Sock ‘em robots with shin pads?
