first drop of blood

From Rambo's eagerly-anticipated trip to Oregon to find a comrade in arms to the shooting that happened after he met the bully sheriff. Scene after scene unfolded before his eyes. I don't know what Rambo went through, but from his painful recollections I can feel a small part of the unbearable, helpless, hysterical roaring he had at the police station at the end.
"I remember a kid in Saigon, holding a boot box and asking me if I want to clean my boots? I said I don't have to, but my comrade Joey said let's do it. I went to get the ale, and the box had lead wires in it. He blew up his body. It's all over me. I want to separate but I don't want to, you can't imagine my comrade in pieces on you. My friend is in pieces on me! I wanted to get help, but there was no one. I The equipment that once ruled millions on the battlefield, can drive submarines, can drive fighter jets, and now I can’t even find a job at a gas station after I am discharged.”
I read this sentence and I had mixed feelings at the time . . I've never been in the military, but I know there must have been a lot of pain in the military, especially at that time.

First Blood quotes

  • Trautman: In Vietnam, you can bet that Rambo and I got pretty confused. But we had orders. When in doubt... kill!

  • Deputy Lester: Listen, Will, you sure picked one hell of a guy to mess around with. This came over the teletype a few minutes ago: John Rambo is a Vietnam vet. He's a Green Beret, Congressional Medal of Honor. Guy's a war hero!
