In "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," Butch says, "Outlaws have 3 things going for them." Which isn't one?

In the 1969 film, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", Butch says: "We got a lot of things going for us... experience, maturity, leadership." Butch has made this comment at a send-off party for the piano player leaving the local saloon. The musician has enlisted to fight in the 1898 war against the Spanish ("Remember the Maine"). There is no focus on whether or not this former saloon performer will need to possess a survival instinct once he is involved in any actual fighting.

There are some indicates in the film that Butch has always wanted to be called a hero. If he and Sundance also join the military and fight in the Spanish-American War, he believes that they would have a real opportunity to become true military heroes. He thinks that because they have survived as outlaws they can survive as soldiers. Under their existing circumstances, enlistment was out.

In 1901, they had $1,000 rewards on their heads and the Pinkertons were on their tails. Both fled to South America with Etta Place (Sundance’s companion).
