I would say US commercial made and 70s or 80s.

Full uniform photos would be helpful. What is a “John Rambo” vibe? Hollywood’s made up portrayal of a Vietnam vet?

Twenty eight stars.

My only frame of reference for theater flags are WWII AAF flight jackets… star count was largely representative/symbolic only…

 

which led me to think this was a theater made flag, that and the vets sister was adamant about him wearing it in Nam..

buy the jacket not the story…it is a nice M65 with a good date👍✌️🇺🇸

It’s early VN-made - circa 1846.  Mexican War.
