    I admit to looking up the answer to #3....very interesting....I was way off base on that one, thus it remains unanswered.

    I don't know... but, shouldn't fucking dickhead Rambo be trying to fix the fucking shit he did to us the last time? I mean, the fucking asshole helped fucking Usama bin Laden in Afghanistan and trainned the Mujahadeen who turned into the goddamn Taliban.
    Shouldn't that stupid fucking asshole be back over there, trying to fix his massive fuck up... instead of going after the goddamn gooks, again?

    Yeah... from what I can tell... looks like he's back in the jungle, cutting down slanted eyed people with twin .50 cals. The goddamn terrorists are blowing up shit and crashing planes into our building and he's back to killing the yellow man. Rambo must really hate the gooks.

    Well... if it comes to that... I'd much rather see a run of 'Rambo V' to 'Rambo MMCLVII' than have that tool run for public office... we're just stupid enough to elect him.
