I haven't watched Rambo. Well, I feel differently about army vets as a total population than civilian killers.

But perhaps there is a difference to the way we perceive the world. I'll ask you a question in turn and tell you how I feel.

Imagine there are two hypothetical groups of people. One is a group of people who will punch you for "looking at them funny". The other is every world heavyweight champion. The latter has punched more people in the head than the former. Is the second group (far more punching performed overall) or the first group more preferred by you to walk by at 1 AM at night?

In the spirit of fairness, I will answer my question first. For me, I would actively avoid the first group and not be concerned by the second group.

How about military combat vets who were involved in killing in unspecified circumstances in the civilian world?

You should. It's a good movie. The later ones (and most especially the most recent one) are dumb action movies, but the original is pretty good.

I would trust the first group to act less erratically than the second. It's well-documented fact that getting hit in the head as much as boxers (and pro football players) do fucks you up, and makes you violent and erratic.

I guess we've got nothing left but to see whose life turns out better. You do your thing and I'll do mine and may the chips land where they do.

Hey, sorry, man. But I woke up and I gotta say, I'm just not interested in discussing the subject any more.
