Iran-Contra. Reagan sold TOW anti tank missiles to Iran, used that money to buy weapons and illegally send those weapons to the Contras. You can watch the congressional investigation on youtube. Oliver North was the key fall buy, but Admiral Poindexter and the retired general (I forget his name) had to testify and I think went to prison. Also, the weapons sent to the Contras were flown out of Mena Arkansas (while Clinton was governor) down to Illepango. On the return flight cocaine was brought back and distributed in mass via the military bases leading the crack epidemic. The money from that was also used for other black operations. George "Poppy" Bush was VP, and poppy was not about him being a father or grandfather.

How much of a difference did the BGM-71 TOW make in the Iran-Iraq war?
