[Imam Khomeini while stressing the need for the discipline in the army said:]
Discipline in the army is an essential thing. In the early stage of Islam too it was the same. But the only difference is the conduct of the commander which must be human and Islamic. The staff will obey such a commander too.
[Imam Khomeini remarked that big powers are hollow, void and empty. He added:]
We should not have a least fear or worry of the outer appearance of the big powers.
