Warlords or Cops? The Roots of Institutional Distrust

Is Rambo a masterpiece of poetic screenwriting? No. Is Rambo a crucial piece of the cultural canon and a snapshot of the US opening the Pandora's box of institutional mistrust that was born of the Vietnam war? Undoubtedly.

Would Rambo be leading the #DefundThePolice movement today? Maybe.

Beyond understanding a historic war that forever changed modern warfare, at the core of Rambo is an anti-institution, pro-individual philosophy.

If you understand Rambo, you'll understand the way war changes both a country and an individual.
