Let me just say that Rambo is the best combat vet I've ever seen. Period!
Pure fighting machine with only a desire to win a war that someone else lost. If winning means he'll have to die, he'll die. No fear, no regrets... and one more thing, what you choose to call hell, he calls home.
I don't think you understand. I didn't come here to rescue Rambo from you.
I came here to rescue you from him. Don't push it, I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. Let it go. You want a war you can't win?
Are you telling me that 200 men against your boy is a no-win situation for us! You send that many
don't forget one thing. What? A good supply of body bags. Now Rambo was the best, period!
You don't seem to want to accept the fact that you're dealing with an expert
in guerrilla warfare. With a man who is the best with guns, with
knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore
weather. To live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In
Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period!
To win, by attrition. Now Rambo was the best.
To win by attrition. The best. Period!
You could get a second Medal of Honor for this.
You can't keep running John. You're free now. Back to what? My friends died here. Part of me died here.
The war, everything that happened there maybe wrong, but damn it, don't hate your country for it.
Hate? I'd die for it. Then what is it you want?
I want, what they want, and every other guy, who came over here
and spilled his guts and gave everything he had, wants!
for our country to love us as much as we love it... that's what I want.
Rambo was the best, period!
The best.
Period!
You may try, but you can't get away from what you really are. And what do you think I am?
A full-blooded combat soldier. Not anymore. I don't want it. That's too bad
because you're stuck with it. Period! Let me tell you a story John.
there was a sculptor and he found this stone, a special stone. He dragged it
home and he worked on it for months, until he finally finished. When he was ready he
showed it to his friends and they said he had created a great statue. The
sculptor said he hadn't created anything, the statue was always there.
He just cleared away the small pieces. We didn't make you this fighting machine,
we just chipped away the rough edges. You're always gonna be tearing away at
yourself until you come to terms with what you are, until you come full circle.
