Colonel Trautman, Dead At 76


Colonel Trautman, on right, tells local sheriff "You don't seem to want to accept who you are dealing with. You are dealing with a man who is an expert---with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, to ignore weather. To live off the land and eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam, his mission was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill, period. Win by attrition. Well, Rambo was the best."

Richard Crenna, the only man that could pull off the line "He could eat things that'd make a billy goat puke" in a movie, died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 76. He, of course, was the lovable sidekick of Rambo in the movies of the same name. You could always count on him to jump into frame, tell the bureaucrat in question how Rambo would take a LAWS rocket and turn him into a casserole, and then disappear.
