Red Legs in the Army means artillery but it may be a double entendreIt was an excellent movie. The old Indian was funny.
When I lived in Western Kansas I happened to be in the national guard armory in Dodge City and noticed a sign on the wall. “Professional Red Legs”. I guess they were proud of it.

Western Kansas?
“I guess they were proud of it.”
I worked for a KS company for many years. I can assure you that the cultural divide between TX and KS is very wide. I had no difficulty with my employer, but they never quite got used to my direct manner. They were accustomed to yes men.
And I have been to Western KS. There are some places there that outsiders should be careful asking too many questions about the locals. There were some active militia groups there. (I know some in TX, but they are different)
It has been about 20 years since I made those observations, but I suspect it is still much like that.
