Sheriff Teasle hated Rambo because he represented a threat to his own power base. both were veterans, but Teasle was ruler of his own little fiefdom and wanted to keep it. Rambo’s escape made him look bad and so he had to ‘eliminate’ that insult to his own overblown ego.

HE’S BASED ON A REAL-LIFE WAR HERO. Murphy—who later suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder, which also inspired Morrell’s characterization of Rambo—tragically died in a plane crash in 1971.

John Rambo

Rambo finds trouble in Hope When he returned home, though, he found America less than hospitable to Vietnam veterans, and he spent the next five years struggling as his post-traumatic stress disorder from the war went untreated.

In a climactic ending in the town where his conflict with Teasle began, Rambo is finally hunted down by Special Forces Colonel Sam Trautman and Teasle. Rambo dies satisfied that he has come to a fitting end. Trautman returns to the dying Teasle and tells him that he has killed Rambo with his shotgun.

John Rambo joined the United States Marine Corps at age 18, making it into the Infantry and being stationed in South Vietnam. He is later accepted into the US Army Green Berets, making it through training easily and was staioned in North Vietnam and Laos.

In the early 1970s, Stallone was often destitute, and even homeless, while struggling to find work. An accident during childbirth left part of his face and tongue paralyzed, giving him his distinctive snarled expression and slurred speech.

Baker Team was the codename of John Rambo’s special forces unit in the Vietnam War, headed by Colonel Sam Trautman.

He clearly had a large Marine EGA tattoo (fake for film) on his chest. He also played an an Army Vet in the Rambo movies. Men like John Wayne were actually deffered because their PR in movies did more good than them serving, so I’ve read.

Sistine Stallone

The bottom line is he never served in the military despite having a high draft number, nor was he ever charged as a draft dodger. I don’t think Stallone was a dodger, strictly speaking. He might have taken overseas jobs to avoid if the need came up.

Beverly Park

Stallone was born in Gioia del Colle, Italy, to Silvestro Stallone (1883–1963), a barber, and Pulcheria Nicastri (1890–1973). He was one of eight children. His family moved to the United States from Italy in 1932. Stallone served in the US Army during World War II from 1940–1945.

Sylvester Stallone

Up until 1982, Stallone’s films were not big box office successes unless they were Rocky sequels, and none received the critical acclaim achieved with the first Rocky. This changed with the successful action film First Blood in which he portrayed the PTSD-plagued soldier John Rambo.
