I'd even welcome a "Rambo V" if they ever thought about it. There's nothing more I could add to how great the "Rambo" legacy is. This was a very interesting "Veteran's Day" for me. These movies are all very important to what are Hollywood "must-haves.". Plus you get a documentary on Ronald Reagan and his take on his admiration of the John Rambo icon. How we went in to get the Russians out, but then left the country poor, devastated, and helpless which allowed the Taliban to finance it's future in away that promoted the "axis of evil" yet to come. I'm not backing Bush. You get to hear from former special forces agents and retired Vietnam vets and what their take was and what missions they've participated in while in Vietnam.
I didn't mean to drift here, but John Rambo represents a very important icon in pop culture. But, what I really found interesting is what the war in Afghanistan was all about. He still failed our nation in many ways (the economy, poor war planning, securing his re-election by tampering with the voter ballots in Florida, supporting the profiting oil industry, etc). (Remember, it all began with Saddam Hussain, which is no longer a concern).
As a hero, and as a man in great emotional pain. But, what really makes this collection better than all the previous box sets is the sixth disc. The loaded "special features" DVD.
Don't get me wrong. These documentaries were a wealth of information of subjects about war that many of us never really understood before, and therefore, never fully understood why Bush keeps this war alive in Iraq. but I wish he never started this war the way he did.
