Excellent interview! Features a lot of stuff that was not in the movie
Blown away by how measured, calm and intelligent he was. 1 year before his death....
Charlie Wilson is a good man. People forget that much of the Afghan's we sided with would became the Northern Alliance, which we assisted in over throwing the next totalitarian threat, the Taliban. And yes, there were many of those that replaced the communist government with an Islam theocratic one. Wilson and the government had no way of knowing this. Wilson meant well.
Charlie was soooo cool
Thanks, I never thought of myself as cool.
reading about this guy in C. Johnson "empire trilogy". Highly recommended.
After Soviet left this is the man who left Afghanistan in what it is today.
Did you bother to read the book, watch the movie, or even watch this video until the end?
Charlie's the man!
Thanks! I did what I could
MR CHARLIE WILSON ♥️ SIR IF YOU HAVE PICTURES VIDEOS WITH FRIENDS PLEASE SHARE AFGHANISTAN PESHAWAR THANKS FOR HELP POOR PEOPLE'S
You are welcome, I did what I could so.
Charlie did it
Talk about the superb book, not the simplistic movie.
The movie accomplished a million times more than the book.
@@77-ty7gb accomplished what
Charlie Wilson was a Democrat, but Reagan approved of his work. Joanne Herring is the great heroine, she was wealthy, a socialite, a fund raiser, but unlike Hollywood women she did something that really helped children, she made a difference. She just didn't show up to "save the rain forest" or add silly comments to climate change. Her humanitarian achievement, is perhaps unmatched in her time. She was not a politician but accomplished far more than those who were. This was a great group of real Americans who made this happen, and saved lives of thousands of Afghans. And she did this all behind the scenes, not part of an institution, just using her natural gifts of personality. This, along with Reagan, helped end the Soviet Union. Now Obama is allowing Putin to move back into eastern europe.
The end of the story is, Sowiet and USA made the IS Taliban and on and on....Europe have now big problems, Its horrible now...to spend money for school, for humanity, and on and on...they are not interested.....just for weapon....and Jesus told us: , "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
We need to start supporting the Northern Alliance again.....NOW.
is he still proud today ?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc
unlike the wisdome of Ang San Su Kyi or Nelson Mendela, this man just poured gasoline on a fire instead of trying to stop the war. he's probably responsible for just as many civilian deaths in Afghanistan in the 80s as the soviets were. i hope history learns from his disregard for human life.
Personification of Evil
Oh you are being to harsh on Russia.
