We Shaved our Comrades

They told me that you ruin everything. Each time that I would go to the frontiers, I would ruin everything and I would make many jokes with the fighters. In fact I would do that to boost their morale.

Only one day had been left to the military operation and I was an authority in the supplies. In order to make the fighters happy and to boost their morale for the military operation, I announced to the supplies personnel that they should shave their head so well.

Since the fighters had been surprised by this announcement, they criticized and they would say: “Why should we do it?”?

I also considered a solution and I said: “Shaving heads should be done because the other war veterans can detect the supplies and preparation personnel so easily.”? All of them accepted and then we shaved the heads of all the personnel. The first one was martyr Mir Kamali.

On the next day, we were getting ready to take part in the military operation. When one of the commanders observed that the supplies and preparations personnel have shaved their heads, he said: “Why have you become like this? Who said you should shave your heads?”?

When he said this, the other personnel showed me and I said: “I demanded it, aren’t I the head of supplies and preparations personnel? So I thought it is better that our personnel to shave their heads, as a result the other fighters can distinguish them better.”?

Of course it was good too. Those fighters who had shaved heads would be considered as the supplies and preparation personnel and they would be detect easily by the other fighters and the helps and assistances would be done better too.
