Many of you many not remember the "Soviet-Afghan War" because you either were not born yet or you were children when it occurred. My most vivid memories of this war was the Soviet Union Attacking the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan with Tanks and jets and helicopters and wiping them out. They were losing the war until Representative Charlie Wilson from Texas decided to help them with hand held missiles. Then people like OSama bin Laden were given the hand held missiles and they shot so many helicopters, jets and tanks with hand held missiles that it drove the Soviet Union Bankrupt (among other things). So, likely if you want to experience what happened then watch the movie "Charlie Wilson's War" with Tom Hanks in it.
