So Rambo was fighting along with wahabi Islamic extremists?


Right?

A lot of later 'terrorist' groups or individuals were once allied with America. It's a familiar pattern. America sometimes supports the wrong people and it bites them on the azz.

The same sort of thing happened w/ James Bond in The Living Daylights one year earlier.

You mean the people they imported to Afghanistan and trained, like bin laden with the CIA?

btw, read some books on the matter, watch some documentaries, the people involved with 9/11 for example could hardly read the Quran, and were well known criminals.

Anyways like the others said, this is a move of its time, get over it. Then it was the west vs the CCCP. now its west vs anyone with natural resources.

Not all Mujahideen were extremists.
A large majority of the leaders who weren't were killed after the Taliban rise to power.
