I'm pretty sure they don't live fire on the set, hell, Brandon Lee was killed by a blank iirc.

What better way to enhance the realism than to start using real bullets in the movies. About time they got some guts.

Very Fine People On Both Sides, Lee Was The Best General

newtboy says...

Good question, but no, because they all renounced their citizenship when they seceded and joined the confederacy. Most petitioned the federal government and had it returned after the war, but it seems Lee's paperwork was misplaced and he died no longer an American citizen and without a pardon for treason.

Edit : there's a parallel today with those who joined Daesh renouncing their citizenship...just because no one recognized the Islamic state doesn't mean they're still citizens of the countries they abandoned and went to war against. Those people are traitors to their countries of origin, but not citizens of anywhere.


Also, you bring up an interesting point....since the confederacy wasn't recognized, neither is the rank of general they gave him, right? If the nation was illegitimate, so is any rank they offer....so logically he was never a real general either. We don't say Daesh military ranks are legitimate.

If the US never recognized the confederate states, then wouldn't they say all the people in the south are still US citizens? Lee was a general, and an American, just not a general for the USA.

Dumb Donny doesn't even know Lee was never an American General, and died a failed general of a failed state, a traitor to the United States, and non citizen, not pardoned for treason until 1975, at which time his citizenship was also restored.
Full disclosure, I'm distantly related to Lee according to my mother, who's a hard core genealogist.
