Based on this account, I suspect these Hazaras are probably glad to get off the line and return home, with whatever portions of their incomes they have stashed away.
The Afghans are promised Iranian citizenship and salaries of $500–$800 per month in return for fighting (usually a 3-month-long deployment to Syria).[2][18][1][24] Many are illegal immigrants/refugees[18] and/or criminals who choose recruitment over imprisonment or deportation,[24][27][25] though the Iranian government generally claims that they are religiously motivated volunteers.[2][33] Iranian media has claimed that the Iranian military provides Liwa Fatemiyoun fighters and their IRGC officers with Hashish to raise their morale.[34]
Though some Afghan sub-commanders of Liwa Fatemiyoun are veterans of several wars, including the Iran–Iraq War and the Afghan Civil War (1996–2001),[2] new recruits of the unit generally lack combat experience.[3] The recruits are given just a few weeks of training, armed, and flown to Syria via the Iraq–Syria–Iran air bridge. These soldiers are used as shock troopers, spearheading numerous important pro-government offensives alongside Iranian, Iraqi, and Hezbollah troops. Most of them operate as light infantry, although some receive more thorough training and can work as tank crews.[35] Parts of Liwa Fatemiyoun have been trained by the Russian Armed Forces.[2] As the unit is often used in those war zones where the most intense fighting takes place[2] despite its sometimes inadequate training,[3] observers believe that Liwa Fatemiyoun fighters often act as “cannon fodder”.[2][3] ]
Thanks for that post
