QWhy does Murdock betray Rambo?
AFirst of all Murdock intentionally sent Rambo to a camp that he believed was empty, his ultimate goal was for Rambo to take pictures of an empty camp so that he could have documented proof that there were no POWs left in Vietnam and therefore Congress and the POWs families would back off about having to find them. Furthermore if it were discovered that the Vietnamese were still holding POWs Congress would immediately order ground assault and this could push the United States into another war with Vietnam. Essentially Murdock just wanted to be able to tell Congress that he tried to find POWs but they were too late and that all of the POWs were dead. If it turned out that Rambo returned with pictures that showed American POWs at the camp then Murdock more than likely was going to "lose" them or digitally alter them to remove the POWs. It would be his word against Rambo's word (at the time an ex-con) and people were more likely to believe Murdock over Rambo. However Rambo didn't take pictures, instead he took one of the POWs with him and Murdock knew there was no way he could ever keep the POW from telling the media that there were still men out there so Murdock therefore had to abandon Rambo and the POW.
