In both "First Blood" (1982) and "Apocalypse Now" (1979) two main characters (John Rambo, Colonel Kurtz) suffer from trauma related to their experience as Green Berets in the war in South East Asia. Did this conflict have a special psychological toll on the special forces or soldiers that fought it?
