"Actually, the first shoulder fired Stinger was launched in mid-1975 under a program that began during the Nixon presidency."

Fine. That still explodes your contention that nothing happened until Reagan.

"You can say what you want to, but the reality is that it was Ronald Reagan, NOT Charlie Wilson"

I don't know who Charlie Wilson is. So what is your point? The fact of the matter is that the Stinger, along with everything described as the first generation of "smart weapons" was fully funded under Carter. In fact, he was the first president who pushed the issue.
