Hollywood and society's fetishisation of soldiers has always creeped me out.

At least they aren't political. /s

That must be why the second movie ends with this conversation:

* Trautman: You don't belong here, why don't you come back with me?
* Rambo: Back to what? My friends died here, and a piece of me did too.
* Trautman: The war, the whole conflict may have been wrong, but damn it, don't hate your country for it.
* Rambo: Hate? I'd die for it.
* Trautman: Then what is it you want?
* Rambo: 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!
* Trautman: How will you live, John?
* Rambo: Day by day.
It's almost like he still has PTSD and knows the country doesn't give a shit. He doesn't even go back to the US until the end of the fourth movie because of it.

Isn't that saying people should love soldiers
