Original Note:
The US did this in Afghanistan, providing unrestricted arms to repel the Soviet invasion. Congress passed a resolution saying, ''It would be indefensible to provide the freedom fighters with only enough aid to fight and die, but not enough to advance their cause of freedom.'' https://www.nytimes.com/1988/04/18/world/arming-afghan-guerrillas-a-huge-effort-led-by-us.html
