I& #39;m on a Rambo binge--

Watching III, now.
(continued) If only GW Bush had been a Rambo fan!

Col. Trautman just told Col. Zaysen:

"There won& #39;t be a victory! Every day, your war machines lose ground to a bunch of poorly armed, poorly equipped freedom fighters.

"The fact is that you underestimated your competition...
(con-2) "If you& #39;d studied your history, you& #39;d know that these people have never given up to anyone.

"They& #39;d rather die than be slaves to an invading army. You can& #39;t defeat people like that!

"We tried. We already HAD our Vietnam!!!"

(He& #39;s talking about Afghanistan.)
(con-3) Ahh... My favorite scene of the entire movie is when Rambo--toughness personified--physically removes a jagged piece of wood shaped like a crossbow bolt from his side, pours gunpowder into the opening, and then lights it on fire to cauterize the wound.
(con-4) I& #39;ve always wondered if that would actually work, in such a situation. Would it sterilize the wound and stop the bleeding? Or, is that just Hollywood stuff?

(con-5) Now Rambo just took out an entire squad of elite Spetsnaz commandos with a bow and arrow and his signature, oversized Bowie knife.

P.S. The Spetsnaz leader looks like an angry, & #39;roided out Tim Tebow.
(con-6) Correction: He *looked* like an angry, & #39;roided out Tim Tebow, before Rambo blew him up with his own grenade. (How embarrassing.)
(con-7) Ah, there went the scene from the picture I used at the start of this thread, when Rambo tried to take out an attack helicopter on horseback with a Molotov cocktail...

... That didn& #39;t work, though. So, he came back and finished the job with a tank.
