#1 Wouldn't any stingers given to the mujihadshit in Afghanistan in the 80s be non usable by now? I. Mean the batteries or something has to be dead by now. Hell I have to charge my phone 3 times a day.

#6 Stingers need batteries and refreshing of the cooling liquid fairly often. Most are not usable after a couple years if they don't have maintenance.

#7 It's the uncertainty factor: did they get new batteries? Were the missiles reconditioned?

That's what keeps anti-terror team leaders awake at night.

#8 Why would they be carrying non-working Stingers along with weapons that did work? Also, Benghazi in 2012 supposedly interrupted delivery of weapons to anti-Assad forces. That's only four years ago.
