Episode notes
Rambo’s PTSD and Aimlessness
- John J. Rambo is a special forces veteran and a tortured Vietnam POW featured in the first Rambo film.
- The movie portrays him as a traumatized and aimless bum struggling to find meaning after the war.
Vietnam Veteran Spitting Myth
- The myth that Vietnam veterans were spat on and resented is false, with no recorded instances.
- This myth serves to vilify anti-war activists as aiding the enemy, obscuring the true nature of the conflict.
Moral Reality of Vietnam War
- The North Vietnamese were morally justified, unlike the corrupt South Vietnamese regime backed by US atrocities.
- Recognizing this challenges the simplistic villain narrative and justifies the anti-war stance ethically.
