Yeah has to be the subject matter. AMC has rambo marathons all the time but they never show III.

Probably has something to do with something that happened on September 11th, 2001.

Correct. It basically glorifies the mujahedeen.

When this first came out on dvd, stallone refused to do any commentaries or documentaries for its special features, but did some for First Blood I & II. That tells you everything.
