[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 76137659, member: 123415"] The "official designation" may only have come from 3 political rivals, however, prior to some of the politicization surrounding the US taking out Qasem Soleimani, the IRGC was viewed as a problematic organization by people on both sides of the fence in the US, as well as several in the international community. [URL="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/12/its-become-a-monster-is-irans-revolutionary-guard-a-terror-group"]'It's become a monster': is Iran's revolutionary guard a terror group?[/URL] [URL]https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-irans-secret-war-in-syria[/URL] [URL="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35806229"]Why has the Syrian war lasted 10 years?[/URL] [URL]https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2020/01/04/what-is-irans-revolutionary-guard-corps-that-soleimani-helped-lead/[/URL] Left-leaning and moderate media outlets shared many of the same concerns back in 2017 with regards to the activities of the IRGC. It wasn't until Soleimani was taken out, that people started to "rush to their political battle stations" so to speak. The IRGC being "just a part of the Iranian military" shouldn't necessarily give them a pass. The SS was technically "just part of the German military", yet they were rightfully shunned from polite society and many had to flee and live in exile after it was over. [/QUOTE]
