Charlie Wilson's number refers to the amount of funding he secured for the Afghan Mujahideen during the Soviet-Afghan War in the 1980s. As a U.S. Congressman, he played a pivotal role in increasing covert aid, which was reported to be around $1 billion. This support significantly contributed to the Mujahideen's efforts against Soviet forces. His story was later popularized in the book and film "Charlie Wilson's War."
