The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)
Hi meeting with Ten Bears is a classic. - JW
Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood) makes his way west after the Civil War, determined to live a useful and helpful life. He joins up with a group of settlers who need the protection that a man as tough and experienced as he is can provide. Unfortunately, the past has a way of catching up with you, and Josey is a wanted man.
From IMDB:
Eastwood's Best
Certainly Clint Eastwood's best complete movie, the story of a man drawn into hell by the inhumanity of others (specifically, the Redlegs and the Senator), who is redeemed by the humanity of others (the settlers, Lone Wattie and Ten Bears) to recover some semblance of a life after the Civil War. Eastwood's acting is economical (but a far cry from the man-with-no-name character he made famous), and carries the story very well, and his directing style is practically invisible (which is exactly what it should be -- if the director does his job, you should never even notice his contribution). The viewer is entirely caught up in the story of the man. All in all, a brilliant bit of film from Eastwood (who clearly learned everything he could from his own directors, and then combined that knowledge into superb craftsmanship of his own.)
It is interesting to contrast the Jose Wales and Billy Munny (from Unforgiven) characters. Wales seeks to regain his humanity through others; Munny - having regained his humanity from being a Wales-like character at the beginning of the movie - descends willingly into a hell of his own choosing.

Can't re-watch it again
I was 13-14 when I watched this movie. It's a long movie if I recall it correctly. I was so moved by it's theme, so I watched it all. I had strong feelings of sadness and sympathy towards little robot David that wanted to be a real child and to have a mom to love him. And that little bear ... I cried during some scenes. I don't ...
This Is Why U.S. & Israeli Air Forces Are the Deadliest Team in the Sky
When U.S. and Israeli pilots train together, it’s not just another military exercise — it’s preparation for wars that could reshape the Middle East. From Israeli F-35 Adir stealth fighters to American B-52 strategic bombers, this partnership represents one of the most lethal combinations in modern air warfare.
In this video, we break down why US Israeli joint air force training goes far beyond diplomacy. You’ll learn how Israeli F-35 combat experience — earned in real hostile airspace — feeds directly into American tactics during elite exercises like Red Flag, Blue Flag, and Juniper Oak. These drills simulate the exact threats both nations may face, including advanced air defenses, underground bunkers, and long-range strike missions tied to Iran deterrence.
We explore how B-52 Israeli air force exercises signal ...
