I'm more offended by the fact they remade the film at all! If they hadn't, it wouldn't be an issue.
Same with The Dukes of Hazard - no confederate flag on the General Lee...
It's like pulling down the statue of Lenin in Red Square after Russia adopted 'democracy.' Let's all pretend the past never happened.
BTW I used to fix Tornados on 617 Squadron in the mid-'80s...
I guess you didn't really watch the film then, as in The Dukes Of Hazzard (2 zs) the Confederate flag is painted on the General Lee about half way through, and is an important plot device.
