      "You fucking idiot! The American-backed Mujahadeen actually had nothing to do with the Al-Qaeda affiliated Taliban!" coming from the same school of CIA-Twitter posting that gave us "You don't think Amazon workers really pee in bottles, do you?"

          This NYT article from 1988 seems to indicate that it was never dedicated to the mujahideen specifically.

          ''Rambo III'' is dedicated ''to the gallant people of Afghanistan,'' and it clearly intends that its politics be taken seriously.

          Of course, it's always possible this article was edited, but it seems like a strange thing to lie about considering how relatively easy it should be to verify.
