Inglourious Basterds: 10 Things That Would Have Happened Afterwards

8. Lt. Aldo Raine Is "Chewed Out" & Sent Home

Following the infamous swastika-carving episode with Hans Landa which takes place at the end of the film, it seems likely that Lt. Aldo Raine would have met with his boss at the OSS and been reprimanded (or "chewed out," as he puts it) for his deplorable actions - especially since he killed a radio operator whose life Landa had made a deal for. Raine would have shrugged all this off, though, and given that he was partly responsible for having killed Adolf Hitler - and is therefore one of the greatest war heroes ever - he would have probably been ordered back to the United States, to his home in Tennessee. Raine might have refused to do this at first, because as far as he was concerned a war isn't over until it's really over (that is, every single Nazi in Germany is dead). He would have likely insisted on sticking around, but given everything that he knew about Operation Kino - and what he had witnessed on the frontline - it would have been deemed essential that he was taken back to the United States immediately. There, he would have been forced to sign a confidentially agreement denying his involvement in Operation Kino. And then, of course, he probably lived out the rest of his days fighting injustice in the Deep South - a subject that we know he's highly passionate about, given Tarantino's script-based reveal that outlines how Raine got his iconic neck scar: having been lynched by the Klu Klux Klan on his home turf.
