in Viêt-nam. An American operation. The Barnes sergeant
became a machine to be killed whereas the Elias sergeant
remains moderate. A Vietnamese village is put bag and to
its inhabitants carrick out. Fearing that Elias does not speak, Barnes attracts it in a trap and kills it. The war
of Viêt-nam seen of with dimensions of the infantryman
without consideration useless: neither propaganda nor
action in Rambo. It hard, a little is outraged, powdered
with "bad conscience", but the film was
presented like an exact testimony, contrary to those
which had preceded it.
