Just a coincidence, but something to be respectful of: There was a soldier, SSgt Arthur John Rambo from Libby, Montana, who died in South Vietnam, 26 November, 1969.

Doesn't there need to be some more on the influence the Rambo character has had in the popular media? The red headband has become one of children's favourite accessories when they play at being soldiers. And the ridiculous amount of carnage in the latter films also came to be synonymous with what Hollywood action movies stood for right then.

I just removed the statement under Trivia about the name "John Rambo" being the "first name on the Vietnam Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery." This would be totally awesome if it were true because of the obvious "First Blood" connection. Unfortunately, the VVM is not located at Arlington National Cemetery, and there is an "Arthur John Rambo" on the wall but he couldn't be the first name because they are listed in order of death, the first being in 1957, and this Rambo fellow passed in 1969.

I just went ahead and clarified the "japanese" spelling of "ranbou" as opposed to "rambo" althought my understanding is that the pronunciation is very similar?Gabenowicki 03:08, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
