About This Quote

Here, Hawkeye is referring to a scene from the 1969 movie 'Heaven Has No Fury' staring Clint Eastwood. In the movie, a Union soldier is found praying to a picture of Jesus. As this scene played out, Hawkeye says "Jesus" instead of "Him." This small change in wording captures the theme of the movie, as it depicts how many men fighting for the South had trouble accepting the notion that Jesus was a man who died for their sins and rose from the dead. In reality, many Southerners considered Jesus as something more than a man who was crucified and resurrected. They considered Him as a great warrior and a prophet.
