The clip increasing arms appropriations from Charlie Wilson's War (2007) with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tom Hanks

This has been a year of setback and frustration.
And the Soviet Army, more than at any time since the war began,
Now has the upper hand.
The mujahideen are pinned down.
The Afghan resistance has been sanctified by the United States,
but the support has not been translated into military hardware.
The guerrillas still cling to the Kalashnikov, but it's not enough.
They're waiting in vain for bigger modern weapons
to turn on the Red Army.
The guerrillas survived the raid.
The Soviets now are conducting some of the heaviest bombing of the war.
The Soviets have put more troops and equipment back in.
Communist bastards.
Don't send us rice and bandages,
give us weapons so that we can shoot down their gunships.
It's called the MILAN anti-tank missile.
Can the Afghans win without it? No.
End of discussion.
I would like to have the previously approved sum increased
by an additional 30 million,
bringing the total appropriation to 70 million.
I'd like to introduce the MILAN anti-tank missile.
We've got 300 in the field.
