#1 These are already 15 years old. What's the shelf life?

#2 Stingers are quoted with a shelf life of 10 years. Propellant degradation. But that number is like milk's Best Before Date and does not mean the missile won't work, especially if stored carefully. Also the batteries have to be replaced, but that's not so hard to jury rig.

#3 I think we oughta send a few $$ (Or build them some infrastructure) as a reward for doing the right thing.
