I was referring to the concepts of bravado in the movies mentioned.......the tough guy lets kill them all, take no prisoners, bring it on and all the happy horse crap that is an underlying mantra in those movies.
I like Rambo and certain John Wayne movies but I do not defer to them as a means of carrying out certain affairs. However, there are people who actually think using the underlying themes in those movies is productive. Look at that guy from Colorado who was arrested in some forest in Pakistan (I believe it was this country) with a gun, knife, and night vising gogles. His mission was to get Bin Laden all by himself since the US army has not been able to do it, according to him, for the past 9 years. Is this not Rambo type nonsense where one man takes on an army. Please lets get serious.
Anyway, I may be drifting OT and do not wish to de-rail Jona's original post.
