Troop Leader: Here we say that the freedom is in your hands, so if you go against us, so go your hands.
M'Ed: This my country, man. We here long 'fore you came - long after you gone.
Danny Archer: I'm here to see Commander Zero.
Commander Rambo: I am Captain Rambo.
Danny Archer: Hey, I've seen your movies, huh.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, the bad guy with a red beret tells the kid about the consequences of voting. He extends his left hand with a paper in it. In the next angle he is holding a machete. Then in the next one, he is back with the paper.
Question: Kind of a silly question, but why do the rebels kidnap children and train them to fight in the war? Wouldn't it make more sense to take the adults since they are stronger and more skilled?

Answer: Adults may be physically stronger and more skilled, but that makes them harder to capture and more dangerous to their captors as they would resist and attempt to escape. Children can be indoctrinated to their cause and are more easily intimidated into being compliant. If they're killed, it's easier to kidnap more.
