Should have left Afganistan to the Russians.

Well he was a womanizing hard drinking commie killer I guess.

What ever he was, he was/is a Texan

I’d assume it would be a jazail, but I don’t know for certain.

"Gust and I had two things in common. We both liked killing commies and chasing p*ssy"

Charlie Wilson attended one semester at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, before being appointed to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.[2] While at Annapolis, Wilson earned the second most demerits in the history of the academy (his roommate, Robert Mullen, earned the most demerits). Despite the excessive number of demerits Wilson graduated eighth from the bottom of his class in 1956 with a B. S. in Engineering, specializing in electronics.[3]
Between 1956 and 1960, Wilson served in the United States Navy, attaining the rank of lieutenant and gunnery officer on a destroyer. While in the Navy, Wilson’s commanders reported that he was the “best officer on ship but the worst in port.”[citation needed] Wilson’s exploits in port did not impede his career in the Navy and he was assigned to the Pentagon as part of an intelligence unit that evaluated the Soviet Union’s nuclear forces.[4]

Gust was a cool character. It is a great movie. I saw it when it came out. A few times since. I think i’ve got Crile’s book here somewhere. Yes. Charlie was a great Texan of note.

[mylife]

For me the film was about Gust.
Charlie is kinfda an old school Dem Texan and thats kinda fine with me too.

Mistakes were made, but they had decent hearts.

[RichInOC]

They ain’t making Democrat politicians like that anymore.

[RichInOC]

Killing Commies and chasing tail? They definitely don’t make Democrat pols like that anymore.

[Carthego delenda est]

I agree regarding Gust.

Wonder why he went back leading up to 9/11...

[Liberty Valance]

That is a fact.

Dunno, I would have backed Massoud, If Massoud had not been assassinated the Taliban would have never gotten power.
