CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Charlie (Tom Hanks) gets more money and weapons for the Afghan struggle against the Soviets. The Afghans begin shooting down Soviet helicopters.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Produced by Tom Hanks, written by Aaron Sorkin, and directed by Mike Nichols, this adaptation of George Crile III's incendiary bestseller tells the remarkable story of the Texas congressman whose efforts to prevent the Red Army from overtaking Afghanistan eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union while simultaneously fueling the rise of radical Islam. In the early 1980s, a hastily assembled army of Afghan "freedom fighters" achieved the remarkable feat of fending off Soviet invaders despite the fact that the odds were overwhelmingly stacked against them. At the time, Texas congressman Charlie Wilson (Hanks) was a key member of the hugely powerful House Appropriations Committee. Illuminated to the specifics of this remarkable war by a high-profile Houston socialite, Wilson spearheaded an effort to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons and training to the Mujahideen with more than a little help from brilliant but prickly CIA operative Gust Avrokotos.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend...at least until our enemy is defeated and that friend once again becomes an enemy, who I've now supported and armed.
There is no permanent enemy or friend..... My freind its just a matter of time. And you armed him because you wanted russia to be apart and then attacked the same friendly country.......
The Taliban and mujahadeen are two different things though
@@zach7372 np they are same mujahedeen is a general name who fights against his enemy and talibAN is a group of mujahedeen but with the name taliban.
Sometimes terrorists become friends of U.S God damn murica lol
Sad really it was nice when we got along
We armed the Mujahideen tribes that were all fighting against the Soviets. When they weren't fighting the Soviets, the tribes would sometimes fight each other. When the Soviets withdrew in 89 the entire country of Afghanistan had a civil war with every one of the tribes fighting each other for control of the country. That's how the Taliban came to power in 1992.
Finally, someone makes an accurate statement (as accurate as possible) and does not engage in speculation.
+capnhands The Taliban were also backed by Pakistan's ISI, who were working with the CIA throughout this war. They gave most of our weapons to a guy they liked named Galbudin Hekmatyar, who is currently a top member of Al-Qaeda. He made a favorable name for himself among Islamist extremists as a young man when he burned a woman's face off for trying to learn how to read. Pakistan lost control of the Taliban and they went rogue. They were simply too insane for anyone to control, even the Saudi Salafis.
To be fair, mostly crazy people would decide to fight the Soviets anyway.
The Taliban came into power in late '96, not '92. The Pakistanis rightfully backed them for the simple reason that they stabilized the region...instability in Afghanistan destabilized adjacent parts of Pakistan.
Also the whole war lord thing led to tribes being raided and war lords from Northern Alliance would take young boys for "bacha bazi" and make them dance, wear girl clothes and make-up then rape the boys.... Taliban outlawed bacha bazi so that helped them gain power... Also that Sharia fear helped.
Yeah 15 years later they personally came down to the Pentagon to deliver their thanks and return gift!
hahahaha nice joke
I always find that hilarious.
@x_ Zeath To be frank I don't know much on the matter as much you do. However, from what you say I must ask how is it possible that with American aid the Mujhahids were able to drive off the mighty Soviet army but failed to eradicate internal state actors (Taliban). This is not possible unless considerable fraction of Mujhahid shifted to Taliban
died laughing
First glance I didn't even get the joke, because there's actual photos and videos of the mujahideen in the White House getting congratulations!
Now we'll never get to know what the Soviet pilot thinks about monogamous relationships

This scene really brings down the film. So cheaply done.
even funnier is that borat was the one firing that last missile.
That funny afghan fighter, has probably been at war longer then you've been alive.
@@ourgreatsurrenderinchiefjo4245 I thought he was an actor, didn't know he was the mujahideen from Afghan war recruited for a Hollywood movie 😂😂😂
And that kids, is the story how the taliban was born.
It's not that simple shithead. OBL's group was a small clique of the over all resistance. Not all of the mujaheddin were part of that.
donnsald trump Yeah it is that simple. Many of them may not have been part of the Taliban, but the power vaccum combined with having a shit ton of now heavily armed tribes after the Soviet's withdraw was the perfect setting for exremists to seize power.
Austin McMahon I've actually changed my opinion since I wrote that. The whole thing was fucked the second soviet troops arrived. They destroyed a lot of afghanistan's infrastructure and didn't give much of the local government to work with after they left. They practically set the country back by several decades.
Not really..but yeah of course,lot of former ''Mujahideen'' entered to the Taliban, but who really pushed the creation of the group were Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.All with the false indifference of the American government (the same crap with Al Qaeda)
Now we are the Russians

Just hours ago today 12 US soldiers killed in a bomb blast,
Wow, the pilots dialogue in Russian sounded spot on. Rarely Hollywood movies get their Russian right. Usually it's with a heavy accent or just sounds unnatural. Good job!
They hired native speakers I assume.
You know if Tom Hanks was good in The Terminal?
The actor that play the Hind pilot is russian
Only the first guy says "28 44", and the subtitles show "20 24". But yeah, it's awesome to hear actual Russian from Russian characters in a movie.
The actors Pashto and Dari isn't amazing but it's a good try
I remember reading about the actual first shoot down. There were two guys and a US advisor. They saw a 3 heli squadron. The first guy got his tone and fired. The missile was a dud and only launched about 50ft in front of them then landed on the ground. He turned around and gave the advisor a disappointed "wtf" look. The advisor was freaking out that they Mujahedeen were going to lose confidence in the systems right away. The second guy launched his and it plowed straight into the engine compartment of a Hind. The thing lost control and crashed. Lots of congratulatory celebrations happened and the advisor breathed a sigh of relief. From that point on there was a back and forth between the Muj and CIA advisors about how many Stingers they were allowed. Even back then the CIA was aware that the Muj might turn the weapons given to them on Americans in the future. Fortunately the old Stingers used a gas cooling cylinder that expired over time which is why you never saw any when we arrived recently.
Talibanes:*no hay pedo,compraremos los cilindros en china 😅😅
1:40 I can just imagine the guy in the white going home to his parents like
"Mom, Dad, I saved the village today!"
He didn't. After such thing Soviet army usually launched ground operation and didn't end it till all mudjaheds are dead.
@@alexsoklakov7454 Maybe at first, but they eventually drove the Soviets out of their country. Losing free control of the air seriously hurt the Soviet ability to provide close air support to their ground troops - a great equalizer versus the Mujahideen.

@@StraightEdgeSieghart They technically were, against a hostile invading nation that frequently attacked their people like this.
The only issue was that they never forsaw the anti-western factions coming on top in the following Civil War, who would strike outwards in terrorist attacks against the US and Europe.
@@openthinker6562 DRA asked for Soviet assistance against local jihadist warlords. The americans took it as an opportunity to force the Soviets to overspend by funding the Mujahideen(China, Pakistan and the rich Arab countries were also involved). The irresponsible funding of an extremist ideology led to the problems we have today, not just the US but the whole world is suffering from it.
@@StraightEdgeSieghart True. The main issue was that after the Soviet-Afghan war, Afghanistan had a civil war between a coalition of Arab groups against a single leader who wanted sole rule. Long story short, single dictator guy is winning, various extremist groups emerge in the chaos, a very specific anti-western one attacks the twin towers, the rest is history.
And then, 40 years later, one of these guy's kids blew me up with a 40 pound IED. Isn't the life cycle of the state department's interventionist conflicts grand?!
Did the Taliban fly to Afghanistan from the moon in 1992? Until 1992, the future Taliban all fought with the Soviets as part of the Mujahideen armed groups. There they gained combat experience, and then created an independent movement. Therefore, all the stories that the Taliban have no relation to the Mujahideen are complete lies. Just a large number of American residents and especially those whose fathers and children died in Afghanistan it is very difficult to understand that their relatives were killed by those who were taught to shoot by American instructors. Unfortunately, this is a fact that cannot be refuted.
@@gridfilm9551 the Taliban were former refugees of the war who were trained and educated in Pakistan and came to Afghanistan in the 90s

we are the only Nation in the world with whom you have a negative trade balance in service sector. maybe if you outsourced your invasions to Indians you would be more successful.

0:45 The Hind helicopters shown in some clips have jet exhaust baffles mounted that mixed outside air with the turbine exhaust before exposing it directly out the rear. This was an adaptation made after the Stinger began to cause problems, since before the heat signature of the engines was out exhaust ports on both sides of the helicopter, directly above the troop bay.

History repeats itself
Yep
It doesn't, but it rhymes.
In a documentary, I saw that after Russian pilots knew of the Taliban's possession of stinger rockets they opted to fly low as they found out that stinger missiles can't be fired pointing down.
hot sands obsly. however you cant attack properly that way.
@@kuzakani4297 True they did that primarily to avoid stinger attacks.
They did flew they missiles low until they installed flares.
The introduction of the Stinger missile in 1986 to the Afghan mujahideen had, and even Massoud admitted, an exaggerated effect. While Soviet aircraft were indeed shot down by this surface-to-air-missile, Red Air Force pilots were quick to learn the weaknesses of the Stinger. For example, the Stinger is ineffective against low-flying aircraft, and so Soviet helicopters flew low to the ground. Soviet airplanes and helicopters were soon equipped with flares which caused the majority of the Stinger missiles fired at them to miss their targets. If anything the Stinger missile was an effective psychological weapon. Even still, it remains a fact that the Soviets lost their fontline strike aircraft at a lower rate than the United States was in Vietnam.
Michael Ojeda A
Very true
Low flying made them vulnerable to AA fire.
Really? I genuinely didn't know this? How where the Vietkong shooting down strike aircraft. Igla's I presume?
Forcing the helicopters to fly low is the objective of using MANPAD, you take out the advantage of a high flying gun platform
And now they use that shit against us.

Seriously, I feel like this comment section is gonna go down hard
I knew a guy who was a jump master in the Middle East and he told me how we still have to deal with those homing missile launchers given to them by the CIA. There doesn't have to even be missiles in the launcher, all that they have to do is lock on to an aircraft and the aircraft is required to perform evasive maneuvers, which also caused entire missions to be delayed because of it.

ukraine-russian conflict R ference
Now Mr. Zelensky has his own gifts to kill some Russians
Through Unconfirmed Reports it is said the first Operational use of FIM-92 to shoot down Aerial targets was not in Afghanistan but 5-6 Years earlier in 1982 in Falklands during the Falklands War where it was used by an Angry SAS commando to shoot down a low flying Pucara' Ground Attack planes of the Argentinian Air Force. Angry because the Handful "Yankee" Weapons supplied to the Elite SAS soldiers were put to use without proper training or Utility as the Sole SAS trainer who knew how to use them died in a Helicopter Crash and at that time the Sole Commando was watching his comrades strafed by the "Argentinian Flying Tank". So he picked up shouting and cursing the launcher as it unexpectedly homed in on the exhaust of the Pucara and Moments later "Poof". The Plane was damaged beyond repair and crash landed on the Argentinian Airfield killing both the Pilot and his WSO (Weapon System officer).
Yeah, largely true story. D Sqn SAS had a Stinger and some Pucaras popped up. I don’t think they were attacking anything though at that time, I think they’re airbase was being shelled so they got airborne.
D Sqn had been put in near Darwin-Goose Green overnight to ‘hold’ the Argentines around there and stop them moving to SAN Carlos Water - where the British amphibious landings started on May 21st. They basically dug in and made a lot of noise, firing a lot of ammunition. They suffered no casualties (I’m not sure there was even any response).
Anyway, by morning the HMS Ardent was shelling the airstrip at Goose Green, so two Pucaras took off. They flew close to D Sqn who, job done, were heading to the main landing area.
Some SAS guys grabbed the stinger, they were brand new and no-one really knew how to use them, they pressed a few buttons and got it working, “How’s this work?” “What does this button do?” etc etc. It seemed to respond when they aimed at a Pucara and fired (I guess it must have been fairly similar to other missiles, some standardised NATO thing maybe).
Missile hits Pucara, pilot ejects (not sure whether he survived or not?).
They tried shooting down the second Pucara, but as they didn’t know how to use the thing they didn’t charge the reload enough, so the missile flew off then fizzled out and thumped into the ground and the second Pucara got away.

There's nothing like expecting a cake walk and getting a struggle for survival.
yeah lmao happens everytime an american hops in a stryker only to get vaporized by some fertilizer in a barrel.
What struggle? they died immediately (unless you mean the war itself)
"Struggle" in arab language mean "Jihad".
@@pahlawanpahlawan7682 Struggle means Kifah, not Jihad.
@@alexm566 kifah is another word for jihad btw. Kifah not also mean struggle, but its also mean fight, strong and hardworking , in other word mean jihad.
US : gives stingers to Taliban to counter the Russians in the air
Russia : gives Taliban some RPG`s to counter Americans on the ground
Taliban :
war, war never changes.
The stinger missile in real life was not the devastating weapon this movie would have you believe. The Soviets found it slightly irritating. It did not have some awesome kill rate and the Soviets figured out pretty quickly how to counter it.
I love how soviets are depicted as total evil manslaughters. I wonder how popular a movie will be today if US soldiers in Arghanistan were depicted same way....
I really don't want to write a whole essay about this, you can do your own research. But anyone who seriously thinks the war crimes of coalition forces (discounting the NA) comes even anywhere remotely close to the indiscrimate massacres of civilians, forced expulsion and ludicrous numbers of targeted rapes commited by the Soviets is either ignorant or a fool.
The coalition isn't blameless, backing the NA and affiliated warlords has led to a lot of civilian suffering. But US and allied troops never committed atrocities on the scale the Soviets did.
Alexander Afghanistan civilian casualties in 10 years: around 750 000
Iraq War civilian casualties 2003-2007: up to 1 million
Not comparable you say? Soviet actions in Afghanistan are civil compared to the war crimes committed by the American coalition in Iraq and Afghanistan. Take your own advice and do some research.
@@Alexander-tu3iv the invasions and rampant killing of populations since 2001 By US and NATO are being termed as a holocaust of Muslims
@@brotpros2306 Civilians casualties in Afghanistan were about 2 millions with over 3 millions refugees. Iraqi casualties were mostly due to sectarian war between shiites and sunnis, in particular Zarqawi's Al Qaeda in Iraq. Get your facts straight.
LoL now I bet those Soviet veterans are laughing so hard all day long
Especially after losing 20 000 young men there, and many, many more mutilated for life, , it was a very funny thing. Russian mothers are still laughing.
When I first watched this scene, my first thought was... Who was the American chucklehead that proclaimed September 11, 2001 as the "death of irony"?
Dying to see the sequel to this little gem
A movie that explores the aftermath of supporting the Mujahideen? I can't wait for that to be shown on the big screen.
Agreed oh wait it won't cus when you fight America you are no longer "Freedom fighter" you are instead "terrorists"
Ukraine ver
They were called as The Holy Warriors / Freedom Fighter / Good Guys when these Taliban were fighting against Soviets, Western Hypocrisy in Nutshell.
Чарли Уилсон тоже фанатик, с красными коммунистами всю жизнь воевал.
CZcams knows what it’s doing
You know its fake when they don't yelling allahu akbar when the missile hit the target.
Great idea giving your future enemies stingers

Funny how the start is today accurate

If I've learned anything from Syria, there's not nearly enough "Allahu Akbar" for this to be legit...
Alright Mehmet Allahu Akbar! Now aim that Allahu Akbar! Stinger at helicopter Allahu Akbar! and then pull the trigger Allahu Akbar! So we can Allahu Akbar! Shoot it down and then shout Allahu Akbar!
Throw a few Inshallas in there for good measure.
@@bartdr5146 Mehmet is a turkish name. You should have said something like mohammed bin jahar
Russia was laughing their balls off when we left there. They got theirs in the end too.
2:46 Oh hey, I thought Che was dead
It's this a real event
this seems to be working out well, I see no possible bad outcome here
We'll see.
And look where we are now in August 2021.
Pashtoons are just another breed, you just cant defeat them if you want simple answer.
Are these the same Afghans that later killed us troops?
Yes 😂😂😂😂😂
some of them and some of their sons
This video perfectly describes the feeling you have while playing Battlefield 2042.
Mmm no.
Gorilla Warfare is extremely effective. Most people do not understand how powerful gorilla warfare can be.
Isn't it called guerilla warfare though? A gorilla is an animal 😅
The secret is not to directly engage enemy forces.
And now the game is over
Technology failed
Faith won
funny thing american repeat its story in nams (vietnam)
He says under a CZcams video showing how American technology helped the Mujahideens...
@@theanglo-lithuanian1768 but reality how Taliban use western tech to defeat
The Western 🤣
that’s proper russian language and good acting. a rarity in an american movie.
Welcome to September 11th 2021, Taliban takes oath today 😂🇺🇸
Dude mixed up two missile names together lol
Give weapons back then. Now give up 😂😂😂
Great book. Really gives you a great idea of how the government actually works
Haha, all these weapons were eventually given to al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or the Northern Alliance at some point.
Clinton called and backed the rebels trying to overthrow Assad freedom fighters too, later became ISIS. I love the US and it's amendments but please stop doing that it's getting old and always backfires lol
And the US then allied with the northern alliance to fight the taliban. Last I heard we're fighting the northern alliance while negotiating with the taliban as part of a legitimate government. Who knows what side anyone is on over there?
FSA's made up from hundreds of groups, the ones U.S trained and later on pledge their loyalty to ISIS was the bad picked and even Turkish Intelligence did warned CIA about their radical ideas but still U.S involved them in the Arm and Train program.
YPG would be the best example for this Mujahideen and Taliban thing. Right now YPG is freedom fighters just because they 'fight' against ISIS but now they are working together with Russia, it is matter of time that U.S will start calling them Terrorists.
@@atomic_toaster420 Pakistan makes a copy of Stinger called Anza Mk 2. That's widely in use by Taliban.
@@atomic_toaster420 I didn’t blame US on that regard. But yeah, it’s hilarious even after this they gave $78 million as Aid to them
Ain't no fun when the rabbit has a missle launcher
Every peasant with a rifle, and stinger, lol.
This must be where Kojima got the idea for MGS V
Stinger missile has already around on metal gear on ps1.
It was in mgsv named as "honey bee"
In several places around the world, CIA set up training facilities with video display screens (high powered TV projectors) to train the Mujahedin how to use the stinger missles.
