Charles Wilson

During the weekend I went to see the movie Charles Wilson War, I did not had any expectations for that movie but I was surprised by the story.
The whole movie is based on true story and it how a US Senator Charles Wilson help the Afghan people to fight the Soviet Army during the Cold War.
It is an impresive story, but what makes me think is that is everything is true in the movie (sometimes things are not so real), this guy really helped changed the world.
Here is some information I found about him
Charles Nesbitt "Charlie" Wilson (born June 1, 1933) is a former United States naval officer and former Democratic United States Representative from the 2nd congressional district in Texas.
He is best known for leading Congress into supporting the largest ever CIA covert operation, which supplied the Afghan Mujahideen during the Soviet war in Afghanistan. MORE
