At some point he also receives training in flying helicopters. In late 1969, Rambo was deployed back to Vietnam. In November 1971, he was captured by North Vietnamese forces near the Chinese-Vietnamese border and held at a POW camp, where he and other American POWs were repeatedly tortured. Rambo escaped captivity in May 1972, but was then re-deployed.
Upon his return to the U.S., Rambo discovered that many American civilians hated the returning soldiers, and he himself was subject to humiliation and embarrassment by having anti-war hippies throw garbage at him and calling him "baby killer".
His experiences in Vietnam and back home resulted in an extreme case of post-traumatic stress disorder. At the same time, inner questions of self identity and reflectiveness cause Rambo to lash out at society rather than handling difficult situations in a "civilized" manner

mind an idea of joining the ongoing war in Vietnam. In 1969, after
numerous adventures, he was able to join US Army and was trained as an
RTO. In 1970 he came to Vietnam and was assigned to 7/402d Infantry

2nd Lieutenant Jethro Gibbs [UK] Medic

Jethro Gibbs was born in the Bronx at the end of the WWII, orphaned at an early age, his mother died in childbirth, and his father was killed in action during the Korean War.
He was brought up by his Grandparents, Ely and Jenny. Ely was a medic during the Great War, his stories of saving casualties under fire inspired a young Gibbs to join the US Army Medical Corps..
Up until the Vietnam war, Gibbs had had an uneventful career, most of his postings had been to back-water bases.
As Gibbs was a city-boy, he revelled in the freedom of the countryside where he was based, he was taught tracking and hunting and became quite the sharp-shooter.

As the Vietnam conflict gathered momentum, Gibbs applied for the role of Combat Medic, and was finally given a posting overseas.
Gibbs arrived in-country and found himself based miles behind lines away from the action he so desperately craved.

The final straw came when a returning medic let slip the meaning of REMF, Gibbs was incensed and demanded that he be allowed up to the front lines to do what he was trained for.
He was originally based aboard CasEvac Helos, until one aircraft he was aboard had to put down behind enemy lines. Gibbs helped the infantry soldiers hold off waves of attacking VC main force, his determination and grit did not go un-noticed and the Army SGM of the rescue team put in formal request that Gibbs be assigned to his unit.

'Be careful what you wish for' is what Gibbs tells eager FMJs during his R&R jaunts back to Saigon, 'You just might get it'.

In the field, Gibbs puts his medical skills to good use, seeing death as an occupational hazard and the deaths of his squad-mates as a personal slight on his professionalism.
Often berating his teammates for not taking care of themselves, not drinking enough and not wearing their steel helmets. It is said that he would have ran halfway down the Ho Chi Minh trail to revive a fallen comrade.
Gibbs is a non-smoker, but carries a pack in his head-band, for those cases where nothing can be done except for a last smoke.
Although for wounded soldiers, many have been very glad to hear his catchphrase 'Tender Loving Care!' and Gibbs doesn't have to buy many drinks for himself come R&R.
Gibbs is a slow moving, cautious soldierwho puts his sharpshooting experience into practice, repeating the mantra 'One shot, One kill'.
He often berates his teammates for not taking care of themselves, not drinking enough and not wearing their steel helmets.
In his spare time, Gibbs likes pina coladas and walks in the rain.
