The Rambo Story Finally Explained

John Rambo has been fighting his battles on the big screen for nearly four decades. And now, we’re going to take a look at his tale, from First Blood to Last Blood, and explain his action-packed story.

What little we know of John Rambo's early life is cobbled together from various references he and other characters have made to it over the course of the four films so far. He grew up on his dad's horse ranch, then was drafted into the U.S. Army at the age of 18. After nine months of training, he was deployed to Vietnam, where he learned how to be really good at killing, and how to tie a wicked headband.

Rambo became a Green Beret and continued working in deep cover and reconnaissance missions until he was captured by the Viet Cong after an ambush and became a prisoner of war. For the next several months, he was tortured along with his comrades from Baker Team. Fortunately, Rambo managed to escape the POW camp. He returned to military service, but the deep trauma he'd suffered began to show through in the form of a nervous breakdown, leading to him eventually being honorably discharged.
