So is Bush going to involve us there so we can spread democracy? I mean afterall we are helping those Iraqi citizens.

No we'll just bury our heads in the sand and pray that everything will be OK. After all we aren't the worlds policemen and the rest of the worlds problems NEVER effect us in any way.

DougDubya of course the worlds a toilet. However no one said we aren't allowed to flush.

Well, now that you put it in cleaning terms...

where's that scrub brush to wipe off the stains?

I don't even know if there was a plot. I didn't care to check. You just gotta turn off your brain sometimes and be entertained. I was entertained. I went in with the right frame of mind, and came out smiling.

Well said. This movie was highly entertaining and a big step up from Rambo 2 and 3. I may see it again on the big screen.

Stallone, at least when compared to other celebrities, is a conservative.

I don't know where the pictures thing comes from. With that, you prove to me that you are quite insane, and completely lacking in any integrity. You know it, I know it, and that's all that matters.

Why don't you use that "excellent" health system in Canada to get yourself on some major-strength anti-psychotics.

You need them.

Saw the movie last night. The dialogue was horrible. The gun play was AWESOME. They should fire their military advisor though. I can't think of a single sniper who would tote a .50 cal Barret into the jungle. Also, can't imagine a team of Mercs going into a hostile area with 4 different rifles/shotguns with no ammo/mag commonallity. Throw away the fact that the movie totally disregarded logic in selecting weapons for the characters (perhaps their were some add dollars involved in that decision), and the movie really was good. I thought I was going to hate it for the first 15 minutes when there was only snake wrangling and crappy dialogue, but when the shooting started, I quickly found the edge of my seat. I think I was litterally pumping my fist in some parts like I did to some of the original Rambo movies I watched as a kid. Lot's of fun.

It ain't a Rambo movie if it doesn't have some big, honking knife to co-star with Stallone. Say what you will about the quality of the various films, the Rambo franchise got a lot of folks interested in knives back in the 80's. Pre-Rambo, knife shows were pretty boring a lot of the time. The custom makers seemed to be in a never-ending contest to see who could come up with one more variation on a Loveless-style drop point. Collectors showed and obsessed over having every last variation of the Case Peanut. After Rambo, things got more exciting. Combat and survival designs started showing up in numbers...some of them bizarre. Pre-Rambo there wasn't much in the way of combat folders, either. Hate Sly as much as you like, but he is part of the reason companies like Benchmade and Spyderco have been so successful.

It’s an action flic. You’re supposed to suspend belief and just enjoy the movie. Besides, have you ever seen pics of some SEAL teams in Vietnam. They carried a mixed bag of weapons. It was their preference.

fivepaknh, read my post carefully. I said I enjoyed the movie. It would have been better in my mind, however, had it been more realistic. Also, the fact that the SEALS do it doesn't make it the best idea. In a firefight folks are going to run short on ammo. Most teams, even SEAL teams, have some mag/ammo commonality. That way when your weapon runs dry, I can just toss you a mag.
