To be fair they made the same choice German conscripts did in WW2

They didn't stop the My Lai Massacre or punish those responsible

The Vietnam War showes everyone the US military isn't Superman, both physically and morally

Didn't help that the US broke their end of the deal and invaded Vietnam

The deal was an election to decide which government would rule an united Vietnam

US broke it because everyone knew Ho Chin Minh would win the election. The US Army ARE THE OCCUPIERS. Also Racists

The US loves subverting democracy abroad

The US Army lost its moral high ground on Vietnam. Never recovered it

The Vietcon are no different from the Minutemen. Except one is White and the other is Not

I wish I can go back in time to Industrialized the Bronze Age Civilizations such as Egypt, Sumeria, India, China and Peru!

Trump should have died in Vietnam

I am Croatian, we had war back in 90s against Serbs. I have much older cousin who was in that war, every time I see him now he is like stone, people view him as strong man who never cries, he is always in his minds, one time when I was younger this movie was on TV, and this scene. He was siting and watching, out of the blu while rambo had this speech about his friend, I saw tears droping from eyes of cousin, he didnt say anything, just cried (first time I saw him crying). I felt sorry so much I asked him; "what is it..."? he said; this is not movie about american soldier, it's about all of us soldiers, nevermind Croatian, American, Serbian, or anyone...I've lost everything he said... his mind etc... (PTSD), he took my arm very strongly after this scene and said to me; "NEVER EVER HATE SOMEONE because he is serbian or anyone of different nationality, we were all fuc...ed both we and them, it's all bullshit, no one will ever understand except us who been there." I swear... I said; I promise I will not. And I never do. I was 15 when he said this to me, I am 36 now...And I can tell you with straight face: this is not a MOVIE SCENE, all this is authentic speech. Greets to everyone who understands me and especially my cousin who cried on this, greets to all honest people in USA, in Croatia in Serbia, and everywhere.......

@@CroPETROforeverNBA It's actually so beautiful to hear that people who once fought each other - from a war that didn't even happen that long ago - now meet each other to share their traumatic experiences. This means that there is still hope for humanity, all in all, and it's not even that naive for me to say. I've met some people from both Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Kosovo (I'm from Italy) and once I went to a concert with two of them, who didn't know each other yet. We all met at the station, and at first I was worried that they would feel uncomfortable with each other. They both had left their countries because of the war and came to Italy in the 90s. I was so pleasantly surprised when they started behaving like buddies straight away, even sharing the curse words they had in common - that was so fun! Again, thank you for sharing your story 🙂

His pain is so raw and for Truatman to listen to him and not answer him, but silently acknowledge him...is completely powerful. Rambo, as tough as he is, is a man haunted by his past and just wants someone to hold on to. And Truatman understands his pain. I weep so much during this scene.

3:53 Underrated detail I don't see enough recognition over. Trautman is clearly shocked over just how broken John is after Vietnam, and seeing him completely 180 from a rampaging gunman to a traumatised soldier seems to put the entire situation into perspective for him, perhaps even feeling guilt for not being there to help John through the grief and pain of coming back home. A reflection on the abysmal treatment of veterans after the Vietnam war...

Trautman may have emerged from Vietnam better off than Rambo as a commander, but he never seemed to realise UNTIL NOW just how badly the war affected his own soldiers, especially the most deadly among them. He trained John into a ruthless killing machine, but he never quashed just what made him still human. He takes guilt in not being there for his men, and all he can do is hold John as his mind collapses...

I was born three years before the Vietnam War officially ended, but I have an older friend who served in that war when he was barely out of his teens. He served around 1967-1969, I think. Army Rangers. One night I watched this movie with him, and when this part came on his eyes went red with silent tears, his shoulders shaking a little. I could see his face reliving a nightmare from that war. I politely asked him what he was thinking about but of course, he never said, and I respectfully never asked him again. All he could say was: "I know this is just a movie, but I know that feeling, man." Not long after he tried to put a bullet in his head but his wife saved him. He's doing much better now, but sometimes when you look at him - even during video calls, as I now live overseas - you can see a flash of memories across his face. His oldest son now serves on the Army Rangers, and my friend prays each day that his son NEVER goes through what he did. God bless our men and women who serve their country. I'm not an American, but I lived there a long time ago, and I came to admire those honorable warriors. God bless you all, and thank you all for your service 🇺🇸

@Christian Dauz there's too much here to unpack in a simple reply, but as far as trying to compare the Vietnam War to 9/11, it's not even close. There is a difference in the NVA and members of the VC since VC guerillas didn't wear uniforms and were indistinguishable from the civilian population. Thanks to movies like Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, the majority of the world thinks the actions of the US Army were one giant war crime and that's far from reality. My FIL is Hmong and was there and what VC communist guerillas did to innocent villages who wanted no part in the war, were far worse than what the US did and those atrocities continued long after the US left Vietnam and his family was able to escape to the US in 1978. Again, there's far more than can be explained in a reply here, but the gist of the problem US Vets faced was not only being conscripted, but then coming home to a nation who, thanks to the political environment of the 60s/early 70s absolutely treated them like garbage. War crimes were committed by both sides and while that doesn't make it "right" the actions of a VERY few in the US Army are overwhelmingly given the spotlight as if such actions were being taken by every member deployed there

@christiandauz3742

@sargepent9815

@Christian Dauz wrong, we invaded NORTH Vietnam which was a seperate country at the time and the VC werent anything like the minute men since they invaded south vietnam in the 1950s after the French left what was known as Indochina at that time. This was over a decade before the US even got involved. Considering I have family that lived and fought against communist guerillas from childhood through their 30s, you have a severe misguided view on what actually happened amd I can see by your inaccurate statement and bigotry that you're a victim of progressive education, so this is a pointless exchange. BTW, absolutely nothing is stopping you from going to live in Communist Vietnam, so feel free to renounce your citizenship and leave if you're so inclined. In any case, go troll somewhere else bigot.

Strange, my uncle served in Vietnam and never felt much resentment from people when he came back. From what he says, neither did the guys in his unit that he kept in touch with. It feels like it happened at some spots, and in the years since, its been embellished to the point that we currently think everyone in the country treated him and others like him like garbage. He thinks its more of a myth that's been accepted as fact. I mean, he could be wrong, but he personally never felt persecuted. As I said, could be wrong, but he lived it and I didn't, so I have to believe what he's saying.

As for no parades or celebrations, why would people celebrate something they were against? That makes no sense.

Ahead of its time? Soldiers have been showing signs of PTSD since WW1, and I suspect way before that. Back in the day, they called it "shell-shock". Patton, that piece of shit, ridiculed men who came back, terrified, shaking, hiding under hospital beds. People do not enjoy killing other people, and PTSD, whatever you wish to label it as, is a pure indicator of the trauma.

This scene hits me so badly. My friend died from a suicide bomber, we were on patrol in Afghanistan and some guy casually strolled by my unit in the street and detonated himself, one second my friend was there, the next he was gone like he never existed. Here I am years later with scars over my body from shrapnel and can no longer work because of all my injuries. I managed to do 3 tours over there, a few kills to my belt and my final deployment almost killed me. Then I find out the US President gave it back to the terrorists, so we fought and died for nothing.

How many more soldiers needed to be lost or maimed? We weren't there for permanent occupation. Inevitably we were going to leave.

You could see from the ending phases of the war, all top politicians of the Government ran with loads of money. They were corrupt and out of touch with the people. They were cowards.

Growing up, we had a family friend who fought in Vietnam. He came back and joined a biker gang just to have somewhere to belong. He was called a baby killer, murderer, and so many other things upon returning and it hurt worse than bullets ever could. To be disrespected by his own people after risking his life for a war he didn’t ask for. He died a few years ago after battling a disease he supposedly contracted while in Vietnam. I’ve never known a nicer guy. He was a tough, intimidating man with a teddy bear of a soul. He loved to eat frosting with his granddaughters and play with his dogs, but you could always see when those memories surfaced. Especially when the stare would come back.

The NVA made it to the airfield before the planes did and were shooting at the south Vietnamese civilians. The Americans defended the airfield for hours until the planes arrived. When they did arrive they still defended the air field. All of the soilders apparently died to protect the south Vietnamese. My mom said she’s eternally grateful for folks like your grandfather.

He’s an unfortunate man haunted by the horrors of war who can’t adjust himself to the slings and stigmas of civilian life.

My grandpa served in Vietnam. Army. From what I remember of him, he had his issues, but was completely devoted to our family. So to see things like this, where good people are absolutely broken by their past while everyone else just turns their backs on them, and forgets about the hell these men and women have been through, and are still fighting in their own minds years, even decades after they come back, is absolutely heartbreaking. To be honest, I have my own ptsd that I sometimes break down like this, from, even though it’s not war-related. It’s just… people always expect you to move on from your past trauma and carry on like a ‘normal’ person, leaving your personal hell behind, but for many who have had a traumatic experience, you never truly LEAVE that hell. There’s always a part of you that is trapped there, and likely will never truly be free from.
Anyways, like I said, to see how utterly shattered a person can be, from their experiences, it’s absolutely heartbreaking.

he risked his life for something larger than himself. that says enough about who he was that anyone can respect. he didn't just put his life at risk, but his soul and humanity entire, and it's a travesty that people still treat military service like any other job, to leave with a severance package and expected to move on.

I can't undo your grandfather's pain and trauma and how it came about, all I can say is that people like him are a testament to humanity; people willing to risk everything for the people and ideals they love. that's what makes us human, and even if he was scarred till his death, he'll be remembered as someone who gave limb and soul for a cause, and no one can ever take that away from his memory.

This is especially poignant since the Colonel character likely belongs to the WW2 generation of soldiers. When his generation came home after defeating the germans and japanese, they were seen as brave heroes that had valiantly helped save he whole world from evil, almost like real life fairytale knights having been away fighting monsters. When Rambo's generation came om from Vietnam, they were seen as either monster themselves or as essentially a group of fools that had been tricked into fighting a useless war that amounted to nothing and was just a huge waste of human lives. When the colonel came home, people told him "What you just experienced was awful, but you did what had to be done and we well be grateful to you for all eternity". When Rambo came home he was told "What you just exprienced was awful, and what you did was awful, and there was never any point that any of it should happen in the first place. You killed, saw people get killed, and was at risk of being killed yourself for NO REASON". That has got to hurt, in part because I'm sure a lot of young men like Rambo assumed that they were going to be seen as heroes just like their fathers were.

There is a group of women who make "valor quilts" for the Vietnam vets. They get their name called for role call. Presented with a handmade quilt and a long over due hug and thank you. Please contact your vfw to get the information out. I live in Appalachia. My town is small but its almost a Vietnam vet living door to door. I could tell it meant alot to those airmen, sailors, and soldiers that endured combat. My father was a champion hurdler who took a bullet in Nam...............i never knew that until i read the newspaper clipping about his return home wounded in action, awarded medals in combat in an old family veteran scrapbook. My oldman was 6'2 235lbs of a solid steel mountain dairy farmer that strolled tall and proud. I saw him catch a punch and told the guy "you dont want to do this" that man said "your right Bob i dont want to do this" then we all stood there and watched a big old fisticuffs at an Appalachian family wedding. Everyone in town would say he was the fastest man alive. I neer seen him run before i finally thought and thats when i seen it. That slight grimace when his leg lands a step.........but he sure talked about them big track meets he missed so much i seen em all i my imagination and that elephant he seen one time in Asia i heard that story umpteen million times. That must have been a pretty big deal for a hayseed back in the 60s.

In 50 years' time, the concept of free will, will have changed significantly, people will look back on previous generations of people and grasp the horror of what that belief has caused, whilst understanding completely why it had to be that way. The praise WW2 vets got will be seen as absurd as the hatred Nam vets got. The irony is, imagine hating those soldiers so much without having the capacity to empathize with the horror at all, dumb 18 year olds signing up for uncle Sam and seeing their friends die and then getting spit on by morally righteous imbeciles... And yet neither had a shred of choice in their behaviour, or what led up to those events.

A reason precedes all our behaviour, every thought, every action is a response to something else. Show me a person generating action potentials and novel behaviours with no prior priming or exposure to a stimulus from nothing. Brain cells don't generate something from nothing and that is why free will is so god damn stupid as an idea. All it does is make it easy to hate others who have brain injuries, traumatic pasts etc.. And hating them is just as absurd as giving praise to the smartest child in the class room or the prettiest because neither had any control over it.

Sometimes Stallone gets dismissed as an unserious actor. But he's quite an intellect, able to pull off not just the amazing script, but the whole Cinderella enterprise that was Rocky. And here in this clip, in Cop Land, and other places, he shows his range and his tenacity and focus. When he's wanted to, he hits greatness. Hats off to him.

@@ramsaysigmamale Yeah, perhaps that shootout wounding him served him right for mistreating Rambo like that.

@@alternateperez4086 That’s just pathetic, you’d think as a fellow veteran he would have an absolute respect for him but no. If he’d just let him alone and had him just get something to eat, Rambo would have left town in peace without all this chaos and I’m sure the mayor of the town or governor of the state probably fired him for not handling the situation professionally especially how crazy the other officers were like that dude that threatened the chopper pilot.

I don't know why you wouldnt like the US military. Sure there are some internal politics, but those things are the result of human nature.

Don't like the wars? Wars have kept the United States a super power and made it the way it is now. If we'd still be isolated like the old days we'd be nothing. If some foreigners have to be gone for the US to keep its power among the world? So be it. I like the American way of life thanks. It does need a major overhaul from within though, and needing to do that is clean out those in power.

People don't understand that war is apart of life as much as peace is. We will always have wars and soldiers/warriors. War is a part of life. Violence is apart of human nature. Whether for self defense or in assault. We are very good at killing.

I feel for you, Prudie. It was a thankless task. Seems like your dad left behind one set of enemies just to face another group at home. Reminds me of my father when he was deployed to Vietnam for a while. Even as a young child, I knew somehow that he came back... Different. He never opened up about it. Not even once. Whatever thoughts and secrets he had about his experience he took with him to his grave. RIP to our fathers and those that never made it home. May their souls find peace.

From a guy with a draft card acquired in '72, that was just a few months too young, who's seen the before-and-after of folks who weren't and became soldiers in 'Nam, this is the most accurate portrayal of what so many of those go through. Signore Stallone does them respect and hopefully justice in this most potent scene. THX, SS and Welcome Home to All the Vets. Thx

@jacoblitchfield2527

He can act, there is no question about that. The problem is when he allows his abysmal Directing and Writing skills to get in the way and he edits the scripts. The only movie he wrote that was good was the first Rocky. Because of that, Stallone keeps trying to use that power as leverage to change the script with crappy results. Even First Blood, which was amazing was still watered down due to Stallone removing Rambo actually killing anybody and Trautman killing Rambo at the end. It worked somewhat fine in this one (Although fans of the book still hate Stallone for that) but when he edited James Cameron's First Blood: Part 2, then it just came across as silly and devoid of meaning that the first one had. James Cameron hated it so much that he wanted to take his name off the script.

No military movie ever gets it completely right. But this scene does a fantastic job of making the point. Vietnam veterans came home to horrible circumstances. "Somebody wouldn't let us win." That's how I feel about Afghanistan. All the good that was done, now completely undone.
Missing your friends after you get out sucks. I was lucky enough not to ever have something traumatic happen like that...but when you're all spread across the country, you miss that brotherhood. I do have friends who ended their own life just after i got out of the army, and it sucks to know I can't call just to bs with them and talk shit to them anymore.
This scene does an excellent job of depicting the struggles of coming back home. I'm perfectly functional and adjusted these days, but after you get out and you no longer have your brothers by your side, it's really shitty.
