Here, Stallone himself answered ten questions from his fans. One fan Dr. H from Los Angeles offers insight into the mind of an average American. He asks why Rambo doesn't fight a real enemy in the latest Rambo movie, "I always assumed that if Rambo returned he'd be taking on the real villain of this day: extreme, radical Islamist bastards hellbent on worldwide jihad...they are clearly the bad guys in the real world right now." But in this film, Rambo finds his enemy in "a hellhole beyond your wildest dreams."
The latest film takes place and was filmed in Burma. A place that "has had the longest civil war in global history."Stallone chose Burma after finding out that "Soldier of Fortune magazine said Burma was the foremost area of human abuse on the planet." But this American movie fan wonders where the "real enemy" is, like the blond haired blue eyed Al-Qaeda recruits they reported about on Fox News? Before closing Dr. H completes his ignorance with a cliche, and questions Rambo's intentions, "Has he become politically correct?"
Stallone gently puts things into perspective, "The phrase ‘politically correct’ is basically a euphemism for bold face lying because unfortunately, lies keep society functioning." That is what is going on in America today, and Stallone goes even further, "The day we have our politicians actually tell us the real truth, we’d have anarchy in the streets. So we’re told what they think will pacify the masses."That is a powerful statement from Stallone, loaded with truth about what is really going on, could all these years of playing John Rambo taught him about the military industrial complex and the plans of the New World Order?
Let's see, in Rambo he unveiled the plight of the soldier returning home from the war Vietnam War, to a country that didn't understand or care to understand the affects of the war. We are introduced to a man that the army turned into a fighting machine. Rambo II was filmed in Vietnam, where Rambo went back to find POW's, and the government purposefully leaves Rambo and the POW's behind. And of course there is Rambo III where he joins the mujahedeen who are fighting the Soviets, consistent with what was really going on in the world, "During most of the 1980’s, the CIA secretly sent billions of dollars of military aid to Afghanistan to support the mujahedeen–or holy warriors–against the Soviet Union, which had invaded in 1979." Playing Rambo over the last twenty five years has clearly brought truth to Sylvester Stallone. He is awake to the lies that the politicians are telling us, and he believes that these hidden truths are powerful enough to cause chaos on the streets of America. I look forward to the next installment at Ain't It Cool News, perhaps Stallone will reveal some more truth.
I never saw Rambo III, but I can't imagine that Stallone would have portrayed the truth of the Mujahadin or the Tallaban. These bloodthirsty fundamentalists had no interest in truth, only in asserting their views on to society. They were illegally funded by the same politicians who lie to the people. They are the fertile ground that led directly to the 3000 deaths on 9/11.
Of course 9/11 hadn't happened then, but who these people were and how they terrorized the people was known and available to be known. Was that portrayed in RamboIII?

No matter how slow or dumb Sly Stallone may sound he is a far brighter soul than anyone even remotely associated with our government. The constant lies from both parties have made it so that we will never really know when they do tell the truth. They probably have no idea as to when they are truthful either. Their dispicable actions are affecting our entire society. Corporations and their CEO's have become the robber barons of this century. These same corporations have acquired almost all of the media that made up our "free press". Now we have our news filtered by liers for liers. The lies are just as bad as the news that we do not get to hear or read. The major question now is how can we weed these vile miscreants out of our government and society itself. We need a real John Rambo. The best I can come up with so far is to vote out most incumbents and push for major reforms to the operation of our government. Items like term limits for the Congress and the Supreme Court, separate voting for the Vice-President, and any rules we can get to erase partisan politics. Monitoring elected and appointed officials money accounts would go a long way towards deflating the leeching lobbiests and help enforce ethics required of a Democratic Republic. We, the People must endeavor to educate ourselves as to candidates and propositions alike without any regard to partys. Voting is not only a right it is a responsibility. We are as much responsible for this mess we find ourselves in as the criminals that are doing it. Ignorant voting and lack of voting has brought our once great country to the brink of recession/depression and worse. If we can reverse this sad trend we may have a chance at saving this noble experiment in human freedoms and liberties.

In the latest Rambo of the same name, he goes into Myamar to save some missionaries. (google Fern Holland)
Oklahoma lost a special missionary to the women of Iraq, because of Bush's decision. The lose of words of my last two attempts is an error common to the Internet, using colored backgrounds with white words. Sorry. This may still have the same problem. If not, look up Fern Holland, who Bush helped kill.
