Definition

  • The film character John Rambo, played by Sylvester Stallone, became an icon in the United States during the 1980s. A former Green Beret, Rambo's manly assertiveness represented the conservatism and aggressive global interventionism of the Reagan era, as well as a widespread rejection of the liberal policies of the 1960s and 1970s.
