90% of Americans didn't know that the CIA trained the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan in guerrilla tactics specifically so that they could fight a very long, drawn-out, expensive war without end.
And of course NONE of the idiots like you knew that there was a COLD WAR going on when training fighters against the Russian invasion.
But people like you that love the Soviet Union wanted those Mujahedin (idiots like you don't seem to know how to even read an dotted line indicating a spelling error..!! so why would you even know history!) fighting for their country against the invaders
needed all the help. By the way A DEMOCRAT provided the Mujahedin with stingers!
Charles "Charlie" Nesbitt Wilson (June 1, 1933 – February 10, 2010) was a United States naval officer and former 12-term
Democratic United States Representative from Texas's 2nd congressional district.
Wilson is best known for leading Congress into supporting Operation Cyclone, the largest-ever Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) covert operation which, under the Carter and Reagan administration, supplied military equipment including anti-aircraft weapons such as Stinger antiaircraft missiles and paramilitary officers from their Special Activities Division to the Afghan Mujahideen during the Soviet war in Afghanistan. His behind-the-scenes campaign was the subject of the non-fiction book Charlie Wilson's War by George Crile III and a subsequent film adaptation starring Tom Hanks as Wilson.
