I feel like the scene was WRITTEN with the redneck wrestling with him and going for his weapon and then the General trying to protect, maybe even upholstering it, and he's the one holding it and the redneck is going after it, and then the General accidentally fires the weapon.
But how it was DIRECTED, in order to have the audience be more sympathetic is to have the Redneck get a hold of it, and even fire it. But I felt this was tedious in that logically all of the General's boys would backup (I'm sure a few of them would lay witness to that struggle) the fact it was the redneck at fault.
I do agree the General would have gotten arrested, but as another poster said, DA and cops would figure out what actually happened after interviews and an investigation.
But yeah, The General shouldn't have had his gun safety off, round in the chamber, maybe that's why he took responability, because he let his sidearm be taken from him by a drunken civi, and he improper condition of the weapon. -

I'm surprised as to how much guilt, weak, and remorse General Bache felt afterwards. He's a military man who has probably killed others in all his battles. Bache should have defended himself and implicated the townie and declare that he was totally at fault - not himself. And it's too bad that the other townie got killed.but tough. He brought it up himself.

Watch the scene again. The shot that kills the kid doesn't come from Bache's gun, but from far away.
The "redneck" (who's actually highly educated, probably French) and Dwyer are staging the entire thing. Moreland knows this from the get-go, but doesn't figure out why until his conversation with his "father" (who, of course, is not his father, but a fellow Mossad operative). -
