Some of you have January 25th marked on your calendars with a big circle around the word Rambo with three exclamation marks following. You want to know if John Rambo has been living in peace after helping the mujahedeen rebels in Afghanistan fight off Soviet scum. Life for you must pass all the more slowly in anticipation of viewing how the next chapter of our last American hero's life will unfold.
Has his life on the Thai-Burma border been peaceful for the last twenty years? If there is a need to save innocent lives, will he bear arms again? Does Brian Dennehy still haunt his dreams? The answer is yes to the first question, definitely to the second question, and no to the last question (he doesn't give a damn about Dennehy). But really the answer is a big no to all three, not just Dennehy dreams.
No the real truth about Rambo is a different truth. A reality even Hollywood and Sylvester Stallone's lackeys wouldn't dare touch. Why won't they touch it. I'll tell you why.
The real Rambo aka James "Bo" Gritz aka "God, Guns and Gritz" lives almost in heaven in Kamiah, Idaho. The real Rambo spreads the love of survival skills through his SPIKE (Specially Prepared Individuals for Key Events, where those events were those anticipated to precede the Second Coming) program.
Don't believe me? The real Rambo (Gritz) is a better story than Stallone anyday http://www.bogritz.com/.
So when you're stuffing your face with popcorn come the 25th, just remember the real Rambo has your back. You just need to go to Idaho for your protection from that ol' New World Order.

ok, Louis Theroux. nice blog
did you actually write this?
it's fricking genius.
Well researched too, not many remember that he gave up the soldier's life to build temples near the Thai-Burma border. Good point about Dennehy too, although I don't think you give him enough credit. I think Rambo has at least a passing thought every now and then about his old arch nemesis.
