 Today, for "Veteran's Day", I watched this whole Rambo box set November 12, 2008
There's nothing more I could add to how great the "Rambo" legacy is. These movies are all very important to what are Hollywood "must-haves."
But, what really makes this collection better than all the previous box sets is the sixth disc. The loaded "special features" DVD. You get to hear from former special forces agents and retired Vietnam vets and what their take was and what missions they've participated in while in Vietnam. Plus you get a documentary on Ronald Reagan and his take on his admiration of the John Rambo icon.
But, what I really found interesting is what the war in Afghanistan was all about. How we went in to get the Russians out, but then left the country poor, devastated, and helpless which allowed the Taliban to finance it's future in away that promoted the "axis of evil" yet to come.
This was a very interesting "Veteran's Day" for me. These documentaries were a wealth of information of subjects about war that many of us never really understood before, and therefore, never fully understood why Bush keeps this war alive in Iraq. Don't get me wrong. I'm not backing Bush. He still failed our nation in many ways (the economy, poor war planning, securing his re-election by tampering with the voter ballots in Florida, supporting the profiting oil industry, etc.) but I wish he never started this war the way he did. (Remember, it all began with Saddam Hussain, which is no longer a concern).
I didn't mean to drift here, but John Rambo represents a very important icon in pop culture. As a hero, and as a man in great emotional pain.
I'd even welcome a "Rambo V" if they ever thought about it.

I was surprised that English subtitles weren't included in the first 3 Rambo DVDs as the 4th Rambo includes English captions. A waste that captions were missing for a re-packaged box set of Rambo.
