This Althist is largely based on "Rambo: First Blood" and focuses on Vietnam War veterans returning to the U.S and facing hardships from people and authorities.
The return[]
In 1975, upon returning home to the United States, Vietnam War veterans had come with failure but also patriotism, being able to fight for their people and country. However, much to their shock on the arrival, they begin to be harassed by demonstrators and angry mobs. Also, it gets hard to find jobs and places to live, and the police make it even more harder by arresting the veterans without any reason. By April 1975, 200 hundred war veterans were in prison cells and mental homes for no reason or justification. Soon the heroes begin to lose their patience and confrontation seems a necessary step.
Fighting back[]
Returning from the war, a man named Peter Simmons is arrested on suspicion; again, there is no evidence or justification for the arrest. Simmons breaks and fights hand-to-hand, and escapes the Sheriff's office and heads to the nearby woods. The police with 15 men head to the woods with chained dogs and, using his sever guerrilla tactics, kills a few of the police, and the rest flee.
