The Outlaw Josey Wales

[Water Rat]

I was watching The Outlaw Josey Wales the other day for the gazillionth time but never noticed that they digitally blackened out the Confederate flag in the beginning of the movie when he joins the Confederate Army. I guess I shouldn't be surprised nowadays.

They do stuff like that to keep stupid people happy ,just pretend an entire section of history never happened .

[Robhuntandfish]

cause someone thats offended by that would watch that movie anyway ...... PC sillyness.  Great movie though.

Saw plenty of the Stars and Bars flying down south last month .

Just an observation not endorsement.

I believe it was Stalin who said something like "If we erase the past we can determine the future".

Fun Fact: My cousin Jack was in Pale Rider. Hes one of the deputies, the one that stumbles out of the alley with the bullet hole in his forehead

History is often written by the victors as the saying goes .

These same folks want to make  Columbus and everyone else disappear that they don't like  from history for what ever reason  eventually they probably would blow up Mount Rushmore if they could .

That’s pretty cool having a cousin in the movie. He played the role of the deputy very well. The video above is probably my favorite part of the movie. Thanks for sharing.

Just a little bit of a correction for this thread.  Josey Wales never joined the Confederate Army.  He joined "Bloody Bill" Anderson, who was part of the Missouri guerrilla rebel militia.  They fought with the South, but were never Confederate soldiers.  They were partisan rangers.  That's why they were never given any status by the North after the war and were shot on sight, just like happened in the movie.  They were all considered war criminals.

They did not fly a Confederate flag when they rode.  Their flag was simply black, sometimes with Quantrill's name written on it in large letters.

The film got the flag right.
