John Rambo was born on June 7, 1947 in Bowie, Arizona to a Native American Navajo father (R. Rambo according to the last film) and a mother (Marie Dragoo of Italian descent. However, in Rambo: First Blood Part II, Marshall Murdock states that Rambo is of Indian/German descent.) Rambo graduated from Rangeford High School, and then enlisted himself into the United States Army at the age of 17 on June 8, 1964. He was deployed to South Vietnam in September 1966. He returned to the U.S. in 1967 and began training in the Special Forces (Green Berets) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. At some point he also receives training in flying helicopters. In late 1969, Rambo was deployed back to Vietnam. In November 1971, he was captured by North Vietnamese forces near the Chinese-Vietnamese border and held at a POW camp, where he and other American POWs were repeatedly tortured. Rambo escaped captivity in May 1972, but was then re-deployed.

Upon his return to the U.S., Rambo discovered that many American civilians hated the returning soldiers, and he himself was subject to humiliation and embarrassment by having anti-war hippies throw garbage at him and calling him "baby killer". His experiences in Vietnam and back home resulted in an extreme case of post-traumatic stress disorder. At the same time, inner questions of self identity and reflectiveness cause Rambo to lash out at society rather than handling difficult situations in a "civilized" manner. This is where First Blood picks up the story.IMA SCATMAN NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!!!
