Unlike The Stingers Obama provided known terrorists in Libya, those Reagan supplied to those opposing the Soviets were not used against us. Obama’s were shipped from Libya to Afghanistan and used against our troops.

The Commies were our primary enemy at the time Reagan intervened in Afghanistan (paying them back for their support of our enemies in Korea and Vietnam) and the strategy worked.

During the early phase of the current Afghan war when special ops troops were being brought in from staging areas on Uzbekistan, the Night Stalkers flew higher than any Blackhawk variant ever had or was designed to, with several near tragedies, out of concern that Stingers provided for use against the Soviets would be used against us.

I don't know if any Stingers were recovered or not. Hard to imagine that none were left over or some Afghan warlord hadn't kept a reserve stashed away.
