Former Texas Rep. Charlie Wilson dies at 76

My favorite line from the movie.."Ya can teach 'em to type but ya can't teach 'em to grow titties."



RIP Congressman Wilson.

Our courty has lost a MAN who tried to show others thatlife can be fun all the while being a true patriot who really did give a damn for and about his fellow man.

And:

"If I open this, is saren gas going to come out?"
"I don't think so but just the same, open it over there."

On a more serious note.
To me, the entire point of the movie was right at the end when the committee wounldn't give any money to build a school. If they had, perhaps the recent history of the region would be different.

The Russians would have been defeated anyway it just would have taken longer. The USA wasn't the only assistance that the Muj recieved. ;)

You do of course realize the Soviet army was there at the request of the Taliban right ? Soviet union is gone, yet the Taliban remain.

My bad. My point was the Evil Soviet empire didn't invade Afganistan to annex it as our media and goverment reported but were requested by the goverment in power at that time..
