"Taking a life is never right"


Michael Burnett says to Rambo "I have to report this. I know you think what you did was right, but taking a life is never right."
What a pathetic thing to say after what they just went through, or what do you think?

What a buckload of ego behind that statement...

Dumbest line in the movie.
I guess even self-defense doesn't qualify.

I wanted to slap him after that.

I think the point is he is a total hypocrite because later in the movie he kills that soldier.
At some point Rambo says when pushed killing is as easy as breathing. How about that?

I love the shocked look on his face after he bashes in that soldiers face with a rock. Like "oh no, I've become everything I've always protested against! He was right...when you're pushed, killings as easy as breathing! IRONY!" lol
