Brian Dennehy was only 15 when the Korean war ended.


I suppose that's why the Korean war backstory wasn't fully investigated in this movie.

I don't think it's a stretch to imagine Teasle being 3-5 years older than the actor playing him.

Either put on these glasses or start eatin' that trash can

Also, First Blood takes place in 1980, not 1982. I always imagined Teasle as being about 50 in the movie, so born around 1930. Korean War was 1950-53. Totally believable for me.
