This board is getting kinda stale, so I thought I'd heat things up a bit.
My theory is that Rambo was an excellent soldier, for numerous reasons:
1) He was a definite force multiplier, no need to discuss how many enemy troops (police) he took away from other duties. A fundamental role for SF.
2) He drove on, no matter how smoked, damaged or messed up!
3) He was trained in every weapon immaginable, and could change magazines so fast, most 'untrained' civilians would not even notice.
4) He fought to 'free the oppressed', especially in Hope, BC. Where the town was run by a dictator and controlled by an evil security force.
5) He had very good improvisational skills and could make a field expediant anything.
6) He instilled fear in his adversaries, enabling him to accomplish tasks normally only attainable by a Bn of men.
7) He was an excellent recruiting tool. I'm sure after his heroics were immortalized waves of young recruits joined the army trying to be like him.
8) Contrary to popular belief he was not a boistrous, obnoxious, arrogant, aggressive criminal, he was mearly a veteran, trying to go his own way in life.
Some may say that Rambo types are not needed in the military, I say we need more of them, bring em on!
heh heh
