In Rambo movies, the disaffected (and slightly tweaked) Vietnam vet John Rambo dispatches terrorists with guns and explosives, all extensions of his &#8212; and America&#8217;s &#8212; manhood.

Two new films screening at the Human Rights Watch [...]]]></description>

A few weeks ago, I posted my thoughts about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Namely, I don&#8217;t understand what we&#8217;re doing there.
