this sounded weird so i looked it up, and it seems to be a sort of mistranslation, iranian soldiers were given a booklet of pamphlets called “Keys to Paradise” along their dogtags https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_key_to_paradise
As a person brought up Catholic I can imagine how that would work
Iranian child soldier: hey Pete, I have a key, let me open the gate
Pete on the gate: sorry dude. That’s a dud key. Only the successors to me get to issue real keys, and my reps on Earth discontinued indulgences since 1667.
Pete: also you chose the wrong religion. You weren’t even baptised. Sorry to say you’re off to purgatory for a few kiloyears (Iran uses metric, right?) to pay for your bad choices, murder, and not getting your dick cut or getting baptised
As a reformed Catholic I’m pretty sure the kids gets what everyone gets: nothing
Wow. That’s such a different kind of lie than the ones we tell people to get them to enlist.
