Humor, whether in war or in non-war is a known and an intellectual career and its influence on the spirit of the people is limitless moreover; understanding the brevity in it depending on the maturity as well as cultural intelligence of community. This category, with all its sensitivity is a kind of output ,backtrack and farce occupation but, in the war , makes a mockery of that is in fact kidding villainess and impurity and laughing at death and it was due to religious education and human dignity and self - health , though some behavioral tricks deputy to the person existed in them like sewing the bottom of the clothes of Imam ( some one who stays in the front and the others say the pray behind him) to the blanket of the barricade or saying the words changeably at the pray time, in order to kid the imam … that even the apologize was postponed to the night of war operation . The emergence of this phenomenon among the fighters in the first place, goes back to the Iranian national and ethnic structure that facing them goes back to that ifs and buts that the accent is involved ; so you are expected to perceive the mirror of humor opposite to the ugly face of the issue and , the fighters of this nation will not be exempt because, the issue was beyond the ethnicity and nationality of this nation . On the other hand, placement of the going –to- the- front community, in an homesickness which friend and stranger were moaning and suffered and helped to the eloquence of this kind of language .
The more bearable issue here was the daunting atmosphere of killing at war that required reinforcement of the morale and double hummer; especially for that ambitious class of warriors that due to a their low age didn’t have much acquaintance with philosophy of Jihad and martyrdom in these conditions, a spectrum which were more intelligent and experienced, created a mixture of humor and criticism of the life situation and the rest also retold it. For example of a journalists demands a fighter a message for the people back the front ; he brilliantly answers: First of all, I am younger than adults , Secondly , my messages to people is that they do not solidify the rear of the front, don't let that , God forbid , falls and breaks meanwhile, do not let alone the imam , even if get on and go Tehran.
The other is that somewhere in the region that they found a defaulting, shortcoming in doing the duties something unpleasant in the manner of a responsible man or friend and co- stronghold were observed somehow they laugh at them. Those rootless politics tries, by intentional negligence, to bury the rich culture of fighters’ society where the origin of pure Islam was steeped in the Champs of those areas.
If we page over the press excerpts of that period, we will find that the pretext of the existence of red lines and due to the pretext of war, what destruction they have committed. Certainly, we can say that if the fighters of the front, of the behind the scene issues, according to the troops were aware “tell what you should say and don’t say what you shouldn’t” of that time. The humor was more apparent among their words. On the other hand, as they thought of themselves owe to Islam and Imam, and watched that the house is destroying and is at war
left the world and rushed to line of jihad. In this regard, significant books of fighters’ memories were studied that an extracts of them is included in this article that is dividable in several categories. However, we have briefly expressed two stories, first those that the author has been personally involved in the war and has transferred his humorous points around easily. The book of Lovely War" by S. Tajik is evidence on this point, and as if this friend has been bound in order to strengthen the spirit of others, rears these senses of humor in him although somewhere forcibly has been directed into a kind of satire. At noon time, everywhere was quiet! Just the pleasant bray sound of mine had plunged the region into itself. "Tajiks: Warm breath! Louder please!! Even Iraq's mercenary brothers also heard the sound. They were sensitive to this sound and they thought I mimic them! Therefore, sometimes were firing a lot of bullets at me.
Loveable Saeed Tajik p 337
In 65 years when a newspaper reporter, of the 14 army command of Imam Hussain (RA) Shahid Kharazi asked for interview, that passed away dear, it with this excuse that “you write the war big but don't you write it true , “refused it. Or the book of “Barefoot War," BY Rahim Makhdoomi who has been of present writers at war conditions with the expression of society involved in fighting poverty, conservative humor of the situation has made roving warriors on the work of homesickness of fighters.
Abdul Rahim says I have worked since childhood so did my father as well as my mother. My brothers and sisters have worked, but I do not know why we have never satisfied! Why most of those who do not work are always satisfied.
"The book of “ the stornghold smile " by M. Syvandyan are also of those works that the writer while in the heat of battle, has been a true witness, according to Sohrab, a needles taste in this phenomenon has helped so that this writing makes it more desirable. The memory has been recorded as “animals". In an operational area of Karbala 3 located in the Persian Gulf the mosquito was screaming and according to children here they bite from outward the Putin , too. The stronghold’s worms were finished. Some one screamed. In order not to break his heart, we gave him a little toothpaste. He rubbed them his head and face. In the morning he saw no traces of mosquito bites on her face. In the morning when we saw him, there was not any trace of mosquitoes bite on his face. It was clear that the toothpaste had deceived both mosquitoes.
Other categories the interviewer tried to talk is to investigate the author's mind and his object to achieve it. However, the success of the work largely depends on the acuity of mind and taste innate politeness interviewee.
"The eyes of mustard" the memories of war veterans; Ismail Jamali is such an example of this type whose pattern chosen as "references”. We were writing in the in the exit hall in the note book of museum, the translator or journalist spoke. He came toward me as well as the museum authorities with the camera. After thanking trustees and journalist, I said, you have tolerated a lot of troubles, but I was not an interesting Museum, one of the men in charge of the museum said: “this is one of the unique ones” I said in a coldblooded manner: perhaps for the British and the Europeans , but for us is not something new. It is for seven years that we, Iranians, are dealing with them , and each of them every day make several children orphan and leave a few young woman without husband so, the journalist wordlessly turned the microphone toward the mouth of people and then, he repeated my words, too and the children{soldiers} began to laugh .
In the book of “lane of paintings” of the memoirs of Sayyed Abulfazl Kazemi, the commander of Maisam battalion of 27 Muhammad Rasul Allah we have brought an excerpt as “the captures” . He has brought Haj Hussein Allah Karam, Mr. Rahim in order to monitor the master performance of the soldiers. Faraj Isfahani was in charge of the prisoners. The Shirts Iraqis had removed the shirts and telling Hey Khomeini (RA) . Esfahani knew Arabic, practiced them to say "Oh Ali help of God or Akbar Kollah Dooz". When Mr. Rahim came , seven hundred people in a voice said” Oh Ali Nasro Allah or Akbar Kollah Dooz Mr. Rahim’s eyes rounded in surprise and said “What are they saying?
In this article, the author has tried to provide a list of humor-likes briefly or a type of comic titles drawn above so that the reader watches both getting more familiar with their sense of humor, depiction of the lives of soldiers and their interact in the scene of war and experiences the strategy of their work over twenty years of Time.
