For anyone who even cares, Teasle wasn't corrupt per se, and the movie dedicates about a 2 second shot to it, but he fought in Korea and won a silver star and a meritorious service award, both for outstanding gallantry in combat. The medals are on display in his office and as a fellow soldier he doesn't understand why the vets from Vietnam are so hosed up compared to him and his own war buddies. Granted, he's trying to flex his nuts or whatever at Rambo for acting like a pussy, and he's still a dick, but I wouldn't say he or his office are corrupt.

When the gently caress have commies been afraid of rotary aircraft? 1917? Does he mean rotor wing? Is it a rule that gung ho military types cannot have any clue about any military topic they try to talk about?

Yeah, that's one of the coolest things about First Blood.

Shame about the sequels.

iirc, the movie was supposed to end like the book with Trautman executing Rambo at the end of the film. Michael Douglas pulled out of the Trautman role when they changed the script to keep Rambo alive.

Or maybe the front says Hitler and they're counting that too.

Edit: Actually, there's a nonzero chance a dude wearing that shirt also has a belt buckle with his name on it, so that'd bring the total up.

Also because I was looking for some joke I might have missed I googled 'Rotary Pinochet' and discovered that Pinochet was apparently a member of Rotary International lol

I've been noticing more and more of these big vertical videos/gifs popping up in threads, they are a pain to view when browsing the forums on my not-overly-large computer monitor. Is there a plugin or a forums option or something that shrinks them down to a reasonable size so I don't have to scroll up and down to see the whole thing?

As far as I can tell it's because image hosting site Imgur.com changed something a few months back on how large they display .gifv files and because .gifv are displayed with {url} tags on the forums instead of {img} tags they can't be resized easily like regular image files so we're stuck with whatever size Imgur chooses to display them at.

If we changed the file type from .gifv and imbed it as a .gif it'd be real easy to resize it but it's a 25MB file.

If you have an image resizing extension (like SA Last Read) you can set the maximum vertical size of images.
