==Military Overt and Covert Activities==
AIG’s financial infrastructure supported U.S. military and covert objectives, particularly in Southeast Asia and Latin America:

Vietnam War: AIG insured U.S. assets in South Vietnam and provided cover for CIA operations, as noted in The Politics of Heroin. Its ties to figures like Nguyen Cao Ky, implicated in heroin smuggling, suggest complicity in CIA-protected drug networks.

Latin America: AIG’s operations in Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia during Condor aligned with U.S. support for military dictatorships. Coral Reinsurance’s links to ADFA and Stephens indicate a role in funding covert operations, possibly including the 1980 Bolivian “Cocaine Coup,” where Gladio operative Stefano Delle Chiaie and Klaus Barbie collaborated.

Afghanistan: AIG’s ownership of a large fleet of cargo planes, noted in Crossing the Rubicon, suggests potential logistical support for CIA operations during the Afghan-Soviet War, though evidence is speculative.
