Its so damn funny that before 1980 USA was the fiercest supporter of Iran 's Shah Pahlavi , while Moscow backed Saddam Hussein with weapons ,
After the Iranian Revolution with Khamenei gripping the power , both Mosocow and Washington did an 180 and changed allegiances that we see to this day.

So the war starts , Saddam battles Khomeini , meanwhile Iraqi kurdiah Peshmerga battle Saddam the latter preventing weapons coming from Iran. In mirror , Iran also battles PKDI , the equivalent of PKK but in Iran.
Until this book i thought only Turks tried to decimate their kurds...think again.

It is dead funny that the start of the war caught Iranian High Command totally rejecting the West , hailing it as the Great Satan (Iraq and Saddam Hussein being the Small Satan - Usa's pawn) while totally adopting the military apparatus , equipment and even battle formations according to British and French models , which made the military technicians job's alot harder to repair or refurbish damaged mechanized units.

Adrian is 2% done with Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War
This book looks like its going to be way more epic than the movie:

It was 3:32 PM when the chalk (delta) leader inside the lead Black Hawk , Super Six Four , heard over the intercom the soft voice of the pilot, Chief Warrant Mike Durant, clearly pleased.
Durant announced, "Fucking Irene".
And the armada launched , lifting off from the shabby airport by the sea into an embracing blue vista of sky and Indian Ocean.

UFC competitor , navy seal, thai kickboxer, PCP freaks, bikers , killers, i tell them not to make me hurt them , most listen , some don't and get hurt.But i'd fight any of that list any day rather than another methed up 300 pound naked woman who had that smell...that rotten cheese smell that really obese people with poor hygiene have, combine it with the smell of rotten fish, no adrenaline , im ready to gag.

Getting to the interesting stuff, which is, the effectiveness of martial arts in not getting frozen when starting to take damage out of nowhere.

So far besides the syntactic sugar , Elixir is a piece of cake when you are coming from Erlang it seems.
