WAR ON TERRORISM

TAMIR ESHEL—In recent months the Syrian Army, supported by Iranian-backed Hezbollah and Russian air and ground forces, regained a significant foothold in areas previously dominated by Syrian opposition and ISIS. The loss rate of its armor has also diminished, not because of a shortage of rebel weapons.

And, they desperately want to be admired, respected, placed on pedestals, and be enshrined heroically in history, to inflate their vanity.
