Compared to Rambo’s past adventures, this mission goes relatively smoothly. After hearing the news from Kurtwood Smith, Rambo hightails it to the Afghan desert to save his commander, and in the process, help the Mujahideen fight their Soviet enemies. Guess what? Trautman gets captured by Soviet troops. Rambo demurs, even after Trautman shows him photos of Afghan civilians suffering at the hands of the Soviets, so Trautman goes alone. means to arm the Mujahideen in their fight against the ( eeeeevil) Soviets. Three years after First Blood Part II, Trautman drops in on Rambo as he stick fights for cash in Thailand, and tries to recruit him for a mission in Afghanistan the U.S. Surprise, surprise: Rambo’s retirement didn’t last, either.
This time, rather than jail, he gets accolades plus a pardon, and stays in Thailand to meditate with monks. base in Thailand in retribution for the government’s abandonment of its own soldiers. Falling into the clutches of Vietnamese troops and their eeeeevil Soviet allies, Rambo is freed by rebel Co (Julia Nickson), his love interest, whose death post-escape sets Rambo on a rampage he steals a Soviet helicopter, levels the Vietnamese and Soviet camp, saves the remaining POWs, and wrecks up the U.S. Making matters worse, Murdock (Charles Napier), the government suit overseeing the operation, kiboshes Rambo’s extraction and reveals he never meant to save the POWs at all. The mission only requires some easy recon, but he can’t help himself spotting one of the POWs tied like Jesus to the cross, Rambo defies orders and the mission goes to hell in a ham sandwich. Trautman offers Rambo a pardon if he goes to Vietnam to track a group of U.S. Prison gives him much-needed structure and routine. Moving as the image of Rambo weeping in Trautman’s arms is, it’s not enough for a Get Out of Jail Free card - so when First Blood Part II opens, we find him pulling heavy duty labor behind bars.
