Why didn't he just join a PMC and go kill mudpeople for a few million dollars?
Was there even a decent conflict going on at the time?
Too late for Congo, too early for A'stan part I
Rhodesian Bush War, lots of white mercenaries took part in that one.
My father was in ‘Nam and was offered a job providing security for some big oil companies in the Middle East. He told me that if he had taken the deal he would have made more in a month then he did his entire service time in the Army.
Why didn't he start a youtube channel like all the other speshul forces dudes?
He's a green beret attached to MAVC-SOG, not some gossipy seal b***h
The whole story was about him wanting to die. A strong and healthy man who could kill a bear with his bare hands... Of course he could have find a job in a minute... But he didn't want to live
he couldn't even hold a job parking cars
No he couldn’t Rambo was an unstable moron. Consider the first movie takes place in like 1983. Rambo was still going full moron until the 2020s. He’s an insane moron. The war truly buckbroke him in the cruelest way but the truth is he was always a psycho.
This was during the time when a lot of Nam vets got fricked over. He ended up doing various jobs for the government and having a comfy life, so it wasn't all bad.
>This was during the time when a lot of Nam vets got fricked over
Maybe they should have, I don't know, WON THE WAR.
The interference of the politicians and the domestic backlash back home ensured that victory was never a possibility.
>Victory
You were never going to kill every single Vietnamese fricking shit, Mark.
If the army was allowed to conduct the war properly instead of having their hands tied by the politicians it could have turned into a Korean War pt. 2 situation. In that case South Vietnam might be a country today. Instead the politicos and the traitor hippies forced the war to end in North Vietnam's victory.
what do you mean "properly"?
The US should have viewed troops in Vietnam as a permanent necessity, sort of like they're viewed in South Korea. If they didn't have that mindset they should have never agreed to help South Vietnam at all. Instead the politicians thought they could have it both ways and eventually leave, kind of how they viewed Iraq and Afghanistan. In all three cases the results were disastrous for the regimes left behind, with the Iraqi government only existing today because Obama sent troops back in after Bush pulled them out.
no one cares about actual history but the vietnam war had ended for about a year. during that small peaceful time we withdrew everyone and only promised south vietnam that if the north broke the treaty, we would give them weapons. so when the north broke it a year later, congress didn't supply the south with anything after ford had asked them to.
No one bothers to remember that US involvement was to help defend from an aggressor and think the win condition was conquering all of SEA or something
both objectives were failed so there's really no difference
Black person, none of these wars were being fought to "win". Ask yourself who stood to gain the most.
Zoomers, everyone. You are a fricking moron.
Yea. That's a hot zoomer take.
You'll never win a thing when it was israelites who made you get involved and israelites who sabotaged it from the start so it was never possible to be won. They just wanted an excuse to get all the patriotic men and even a few morons over seas while they pushed Marxist gay shit while dosing everyone with LSD.
Meds
Christ I hate uneducated zoomers. Pay attention in school little gay. If they even teach Vietnam War in school anymore
Why didnt he start a podcast?
People who are actually the real deal don’t start self help podcasts.
>looking at you wes watson
This was back in the day when veterans were treated properly. With disdain and abuse, now every homosexual who jerked off on an aircraft carrier for 4 years lets you know he was in the military and cucks worship him.
Not these days. Even cuckservatives are finally turning
Oh nooo, found the pedo
Good job anon
Wont do shit, cant do shit, is shit.
I don't get it
>Everyone loves the military nowadays!
>t. dude nowadays who hates the military
Based, thats how I treat "veteran" mobiks.
>Oh nooo I've lost my legs in donbass
Cry me a river b***h, I didnt ask you to fight.
>half a generation of men go off to war
>you all acquire the same skills
>you come home and realise everyone has the exact same qualifications as you bar a few medals and stripes
How could this happen?
you can learn quite a few different skills in the military though depending on your role
>killing people with small gun
>killing people with bigger gun
>killing people with even bigger gun
>killing people with explosives

Have you ever even heard of an MOS?
Is it like CoD?
No. It's a tier of job for applicants to the Military.
He learned nothing and also Rambo is clearly low iq, he’s like 75 and still assmad about Vietnam and still killing hordes of people, the guy is a moron for sure
> military
> learning skills
its literally rote learning for specific actions
like yes, we learned how to assemble a machine gun nest in three minutes, the frick is that gonna help me to do in a job market where the most common job title is "product owner"?
Homeless vets were a big deal in the 70s, all the drug use among soldiers in Vietnam led to them being worthless frickwits when they got out. It's still a bit of a problem today because you get a lot of morons with no long term planning skills who join the military, but it's less of one because the US military works to get vets jobs in order to avoid the bad press.
I heard that you if served in the army, you can get various security jobs in USA.
Certain government jobs are legally required to give preferential treatment to veterans while hiring, and many corporations that are run by ex military guys will also mostly hire military.
That's cool, I guess it wasn't like this during Rambo's times?
Or is it just fantasy.
Veteran's preference was a thing in the 70s, but many people didn't take advantage of it for many reasons (drug use, no longer wanting to be associated with the military, etc). Rambo was meant to symbolize that kind of person.
This is what I liked about the first movie, Rambo was an actual person.
Later he became a propaganda spouting G.I. Joe.
Unless you're working for a celebrity or politician, most security jobs just involve open carrying in front of a bar or 7/11 to prevent blacks from loitering outside of it
Not ideal but still better than living like a vagabond imo.
Is it really illegal to walk in the US?
Yes?
Car-centric state, with 12 lane highways pretending to be towns.
you get the point?
Criminally good scene, the perfect end to such a unique movie.
Though maybe he should have shot himself instead to save us the mindless diatribes that were the sequels.
>hmm yes, that's a very interesting CV you have here Mr Rambo, but as a Mom&Pop furniture depot, we don't see how we can incorporate your '5 years making napalm rain over VCs' into our talent pool.
He was building traps from trees, surely this qualifies into making him a carpenter.
Jigsaw's apprentice
First three are being rerleased here in restored 4K.
Hopefully we will get more classic Hollywood in cinemas due to the strike.
First one is a serious drama, but I ccannot wait to watch the latter ones in packed cinema filled with fans. Will be a fun night. Yes, we will clap.
At what scene do you expect to clap? Will you stand while clapping?
He's going to clap his meat to the jailhouse shower scene.
>Not just going to be a cop and beat/shoot Black folk.
At the time police academy was like a week to boot.
I thought most of them hated cops
>any baby boomer ever was 'a highly trained elite operator' in Nam
I'll press D to doubt
Thats realistic though. You see a lot of SOF guys becoming fitness instructors or motivational speakers, because on the civilian side there's not much else they can do. The contracting ship kinda sailed in the late 2000s, there's still plenty of work but you're competing with half a million other GWOT vets from every other white country. I have to imagine it was even worse in the 80s when you couldn't just sell operator-themed Tshirts on Instagram.
Yeah he should have become a cop, fighter, truck driver or cliffhanger.
he probably raped women and children in nam anyway
garbage in, garbage out
>He did le heckin raperino!
he should have todl the sheriff he was looking for a job. he likely knew the town inside out and could have helped rambo out.
>sheriff gives you a ride to the edge of town and tells you to get lost
Hey I'm looking for a job can you help me out?
Or
>I need a former brother in arms to sit down and pray with me
Should have learned to code in COBOL

Moral of the story
Never join the fricking army
Yeah that was the problem, did you even watch the movie?

>genius level iq (it's been tested)

He probably suffered from anxiety and PTSD which prevented him from seeking and attaining gainful employment.
>hire someone who isn't capable of holding a job parking cars to pilot your bombers and drive your tanks
>wonder why you lost the war
Why are the americans so stupid?
>americans so stupid

What does 'chan' stand for in americaneese?

I have no idea what you're referring to.

>developing PTSD from fighting a light infantry jungle war where most of the time you're chilling in a secure base eating BBQ and when you do go out to fight you rarely get subjected to even light mortar fire and never bombed from the air or attacked by tanks and even if you're wounded you can be airlifted to a hospital in Germany within 10 hours to be fixed up by professional surgeons
Americans are the biggest fricking pussies on the planet.
REMINDER:
John Stewart has done more for american military veterans than all of the republican party combined.

>In a speech riddled with strong language, Stewart criticized Republican senators for speaking in support of veterans, but then voting against the bill that would increase spending by more than $300 billion over the next decade and dramatically boost health care services and disability benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan.

>“We got out of 20 years of war and the Pentagon got a raise,” Stewart said during remarks at the War Horse Symposium in Chicago on Thursday. “I can’t figure out how $850 billion to a department means that the rank and file still have to be on food stamps. To me, that’s fricking corruption.”

NOOO YOU CAN'T JUST VOTE AGAINST HECCIN WASTING TAXPAYER MONEY ON NONCONTRIBUTORS!!! YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR YOUR DOLLARS TO GO TO THE HECKERINO WELFARE LEECHES!!
I went to college under the GI Bill, and dropped out due to mental illness connected to war and now receive help for, and I owe the VA money for tuition, but others in this country are getting student loan forgiveness. How about you go after the leeches that haven't contributed as much as me?
>NOOOO YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR A HECCIN ZOGBOT LIKE ME TO LIVE!!!!

But why aren't you concerned with the far larger population looking for handouts. Are you by chance not acktually concerned for which you speak.
You're asking this to the people that don't want handouts for the people you're describing lol. I don't know what the frick you're trying to say.
I'm saying: you're all the equivalent of tiktok thots shaking their ass for attention.
Thank you for clarifying because what you actually said in no way expresses that sentiment. Maybe college would have helped.
Maybe you not being raised by Hollywood, would help you not to have histrionic personality disorder.
Breh are you mad at the Hollywood types for not giving a shit about you and giving gibs to everyone but you, or are you mad at Johnny Reb who doesn't want to pay into anything because it's all going to everyone but you? Kinda sounds like you just want gibs
It kinda sounds like you just want attention.
>I went to college under the GI Bill, and dropped out due to mental illness connected to war
So....... you're literally human garbage? And you expect me to have sympathy for you? A mentally ill piece of trash thinks he's entitled to my tax dollars? What the frick?
>haven't contributed as much as me
>fragile homosexual thinks his "anxiety" is a real medical condition
>"waaah the scary gun noises gave me ptsd i need someone to wipe my ass for me now"
>Republicans sabotaging ZOGbots and the gay American empire
Why are you making me like them?
You mean John Leibowitz?
>leftists thinking giving more tax bucks to corrupt thieves will fix it.
You're an embarrassment
He was a draftee who had daddy issues. The only surprise is that he didn't transition.
He had plenty of skills, you disingenuous moron. You clearly didn't watch the first 20 minutes of the film, since that wasn't what it was about at all.
In the book , he is evil.
Maybe he just wanted to downshift.
Damn, he's literally me (except for the 'elite operator' part
many such cases
why didn't he just re-enlist?
Why didn't he join a search and rescue team?
It's not about skill, it was just a time where a large portion of the nation turned on veterans and worked against them returning to society. It was a huge problem after nam and the current American "respect the serviceman" attitude was born out of what happened after vietnam.
Thought that was because libtards wouldnt hire him, he was "le cancelled" in polcel speak.
why is nobody talking about blue light
