jul 13, 1988 - Afghanistan
Description:
Reagan supported and trained the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, since they were an anti communist group that sought to overthrow the communists in power. This was an example of the Reagan doctrine, a "promise" put in place to support any group willing to overthrow their communist leaders. Soviet forces withdrew from Afghanistan after pressure from the Mujahideen.
