I am now and always have been (since i was a wee thing) been fascinated by the Vietnam war and the soldiers and others who served there. I remember buying 'Rambo' in a store in an airport, before it was made into a movie, and reading it on the plane and loving it. In the book, he dies in the end, and it was very solemn and very fitting and i cried.

The movie was actually pretty good, comparatively. One of my other favorite post-war movies about Vietnam vets is 'Heroes', with Sally Field and Henry Winkler and a just-starting Harrision Ford. Excellent stuff.
