With a few exceptions... Like Audie Murphy, Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin, Capt. Kangaroo, and a few others.
Yep.
Profound.
Charles Durning and I believe Charles Bronson, James Arness and maybe James Garner, David Niven, ,
Kris Kristofferson graduated from Ranger School. Bronson was a tail gunner on a B-29 in the Pacific. Durning was awarded the MOH for Normandy but I do not knwo the details. Eddie Arnold of Green Acres was plucking men out of the water around Tarawa.
That can’t be true. He’s not near handsome enough. [/quote]
Nor modest enough. His singing is highly suspect too.
He wrote some good ones though.[/quote] Sunday morning coming down.

Stallone was/is a draft dodging coward who hid out in Europe as a coach at a private girls' school during Viet Nam. "Rambo" is a figment of some screen writer's imagination!

He wrote some good songs. But his singing SUCKS. ONLY Country singer worse than Willie Nelson.

Kris Kristofferson was also a helicopter pilot. [/quote]

I read somewhere once he nearly got court martialed for stealing one of the Armies helicopters and landing it on Johnny Cash’s lawn to get his attention and to give him some songs he wrote.

"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." (William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830s.)
IMHO The movie started out much better than it ended.
Consider the premise; human trafficking, a heroic Mexican Journalist (a whole bunch have been tortured to death for speaking out) and an aging Rambo finally in over his head.
Ends with a wildly improbable finish, even by Rambo standards.

Watched it last week. Okay for a action flick I guess but a much overly used story line.
Seems like when a couple of such movies turn out to be money makers others usually jump on the bandwagon and make similar versions but with a few different twists.
In defense of today's actors, there hasn't been a real modern war lately for them to have served and later become a movie star. I guess its possible with Iraq and Afghanistan, but not like when everyone shipped off for WW2. Even Vietnam vets are in their 70's now.

In the meantime I'll accept a list of actors who AREN'T socialist douchebags.

Half of the ones listed are dead. Plus they listed Ann Coulter as a “Conservative”. She’s a rabid anti- Trump hating turd.
