Who has never seen Rambo 3, the action movie starring a 'former Green Beret almost invincible, the plot develops in this way (for the uninitiated):
John Rambo is in a Buddhist monastery Thailand to help in a peaceful community of monks in an attempt to find inner peace.
Colonel Trautman joins him to implicate him in a U.S. operation groped hit a Soviet commando, invaded the territory of Afghanistan, genocide does to the local population. Rambo, however, tired of being involved in absurd wars, decline the invitation of his friend.
When is subsequently informed of the capture of Trautman, resulted in an operational basis the enemy to be interrogated by Commander Zaysen, decided to intervene personally to try to free him.
then undertakes his journey to Pakistan, to find a contact in order to reach without getting noticed, near the Afghanistan. Helped by rebels of the place is able to enter the fort and, after several battles, to recall the colonel, but in an attempt to escape are being met and surrounded by fierce Russian platoons.
Just when it seems that for Rambo and Trautman is the end of some one hundred rebels intervene to help the two to fight against the invaders for their freedom. And in the end
Rambo kills the bad guy in a Russian scene to say the least absurd!.
The film was in 1988, just as in Afghanistan, there were still Russian troops, who retired in February 1989.
But today in 2010 what has changed since then?
I think basically two things:
The first is that the new invaders no longer speak Russian, but many other languages \u200b\u200b(American English, Italian, German, etc.)..
The second is that the Afghans who oppose the invasion of their land are no longer represented as the champions of freedom who are struggling to ward off invaders, but instead as the brutal torturers who kill their own people to protect their lives, all of which are bloodthirsty terrorists who do not want peace, which are Islamic extremists, and so on.
And even more has changed substantially propaganda.
I do not think that there are options to stop this war without a total withdrawal of U.S. and allied troops, which will come from who knows how long! So dear
Rambo because you do not intervene? Remember that those who are now regarded as the monsters you have saved my life many years ago, and you know them you know it is not so, help them to recover their land as only you know how to do!
