Asstalk, Dave:

en.wikipedia.org

"Production of the FIM-92A began in 1978 to replace the FIM-43 Redeye. An improved Stinger with a new seeker, the FIM-92B, was produced from 1983 alongside the FIM-92A. Production of both the A and B types ended in 1987 with around 16,000 missiles produced."

Which means, all the DESIGN work was done under Carter.

"The first Stinger was fired in Afghanistan in '86. "

So? It was first fielded in 1981.

"To suggest that Carter had ANYTHING to do with funding it is absurd."

Only to the ignorant.
