"First Blood" is Fake

First Blood is the story of the sheriff of the town of Hope (played by Brian Dennehy) and his infamous treatment of a Vietnam-war veteran that subsequently drove him into insanity and resulted in the violent mutilation and death of hundreds of people in many subsequent movies.

The whole premise of First Blood is based upon the drifter Vietnam veteran John Rambo. Throughout the movie, various references are made to the war and to John Rambo in the war - how he was awarded various medals for his heroism during the war, the places he'd been, the men he'd worked with and commanded, the equipment he'd used.

The key word here is "veteran." Veteran means survivor, i.e. someone who was in the Vietnam war and survived. Come on! There were no survivors of the Vietnam war! Every single person in that war died! FAKE.
