"These Gentlemen are the Moral Equivalents of America's Founding Fathers"

Remember when Reagan brought a group of militant Afghan rebels into the White House? Of course you do! I mean, he compared them to the likes of William Whipple, William Floyd, William Paca, William Hooper,William Ellery, and, of course, William Williams. You'd literally have to be a moron not to remember this, or at least, not remember learning about it (like I did when we discussed it in great detail in my AP American History class in high school). Anyway, Ronny was balls deep in a fake war with the USSR. Even though he had space lasers that protected us, he felt it was necessary to run up his ridiculous deficit even more (~$180 Billion in 1985) by arming a bunch of extremists to the teeth. So he invited the Taliban over for some cinnamon rolls and decaf coffee, and sent them packing with a bunch of weapons.

"We, uh, we called that the stinger. They...they don't let you use that no more."
Rondo gave them a bunch of hand-held surface to air missile launchers called Stingers. The CIA was like "You stupid old man. Those things are way to dangerous to give to a bunch of rebels... wait... a THOUSAND?! You gave them a THOUSAND?!" After the US's ill-attempts to get them back, they're still used by Taliban rebels today. Oh, and they're also found all across the middle east. They've got Reagan's fudgy fingerprints all over them. Nobody can accurately pinpoint the number of American casualties caused by these SAM's, but I can calculate that it is somewhere between a butt-load and a crap-ton.
