In case you're confused this is a reference to a Rambo movie that had this lovely dedication.

Its funny, because it actually didn't have this. (Or, literally this)

Original sources from the time of the movie's release, 1988, state that the film is dedicated to the "gallant people of Afghanistan".

The edited end-card was made as a joke, back in 2004, and circulated so many times online that it eventually became headcannon.

That's an interesting fact, but honestly it might as well really have had this endcard, since the movie openly glorifies the mujahedeen anyways.
