You mean as opposed to Myanmar for the 2009 Rambo and Mexico for this year's upcoming Last Blood?
... He wheels Rambo into a small sad looking two bed room at a state run Veteran's home. ..."
At least John is in a state that still has a veterans home. Indiana with a population of six million & a estimated 450,000 veterans has a single facility, funded by the state legislature to currently accommodate under 200 veterans. But John could not qualify for a bed in the Indiana Veterans Home. Those with a history of mental health problems are refused admittance as the state legislature does not fund any mental health workers for the staff. Back in the autumn of 2018 a friend of mine met a hysterical wife at the facility. Her sucidal husband had been refused admittance, no psychiatric staff. After several phone calls they got a bed at the federal VA facility in Muncie Indian, a 90 minute drive away. The other two Fed VA hospitals closer, in Indianapolis and Danville Illinois had no beds available in their psychiatric wards.
John Rambo had better settle in Ohio. That state has a much broader and deeper health system for veterans, and the general population. Texas is even better. If you go to the web site Military.com and then the page for State Veterans Benefits < https://www.military.com/benefits/veteran-state-benefits/state-veterans-benefits-directory.html > you can compare the benefits each state offers. those leaving service can plan their post career career accordingly.

Typo.Actually the Rambo film that was set in Myanmar (Which was titled Rambo) was actually a 2008 film that was released on January 23, 2008 just to clarify that detail.
that is so sad.. because well. its ohio but it is sad that one would even have to think that way - vet or civiAt least John is in a state that still has a veterans home.

Didn't even know about the Myanmar movie !
I would like to see a scene where Rambo is told that he didn't rescue POWs in the second movie but they were drug traffickers instead.
The myth that were still American POWs left in Vietnam after the Cease Fire left a very toxic feeling in the American people and gave false hopes to the families of MIAs to be conned by gritters who said that they were raising money to find them.
This is like " born on the 4th of july" on steroidsHonestly the best thing a Rambo film could do is place it in a VA center .. want to put the spot light injustice and craptastic bureaucracy that's the war right there. don't need violence or other things.. just the sad tale of how things are in America and how people are treated like cattle and dirt.
also I would have Rambo make a speech about how he is disgusted by the idolization of soldiers and war in our modern world. that many were drafted before .. but those who served.. served with out the need for a thank you and how the over the top lip service being paid to soldiers now is great, it doesn't mean anything since the actual treatment is junk by the government the served.
that would be fitting .. have him wearing medals .. signed pictures from democrats and republicans ( don't want to be partisan .. )
The constant bombardment of for our troops and vets is the biggest bread and circus thing since .. well its for the children crap. None of it is true and in reality the government doesn't give a rats shamolie about either, let alone the kids.
Rambo dies of cancer related to agent orange or asbestos at the end, his funeral with very few people to witness is simple.
