His Good Ranking[]
Debated Validations[]
- While he does have a very high body count which does make him come off as grey-zoned, it should be worth noting that everyone he has killed has tried hurting or killing him and the people he loves. He even avoids killing his enemies in the first film as he saw it as unnecessary.
- He initially disagrees to aid Trautman's troops in Afghanistan, but it's because after what happened in Vietnam, he genuinely believes he won't be able to help them and it would only be a waste of resources.

What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- While most of his victims are terrible people, he is still far to violent and wrathful too be NPG. A prime example would be pinning Hugo to a wall and ripping out his heart while he is still alive. Another example would be Rambo putting Victor's decapitated corpse on display for his brother Hugo to see. These actions make him a clear cut anti-hero.
- It's also unknown if he showed remorse and felt sorry about killing his victims.
Trivia[]
- While his movie version is IA, his novel version he is based off of is IH.
