Who else handed them those 'handy' Stinger missiles that started swatting down Soviet Hind Gunships and Hip transports?
It was Jimmy Carter that first started supporting them ("moojies"). The Soviets were not military "invaders" in the general sense, they were invited in by the legitimately elected government of Afghanistan. The reforms put forth by the (Marxist) Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, in the 1980â??s, were disliked by Muslims. These included outlawing on beards on men, banning burqas on women, and mosques were off-limits. At least they got that right.
