    I think the bigger story is being ignored..
    Chris Kyle,(American Sniper) and a friend Chad Littlefield were murdered by a fellow Iraqi war veteran, 25-year-old U.S. Marine Corps veteran Eddie Ray Routh, whom the two deceased took to a gun range in an attempt to ‘help him with his PTSD”…(seems not to have been a good idea)..

      That is disgusting…
      But not at all surprising..:)

        I wont bother seeing this, but I’m not at all surprised there are those lowlifes that become “inspired” by this or any other lies they see on the networks.
        Trying to find a news story on Fox or Cnn is becoming impossible.

    The movie is nothing more than flag waving war propaganda which Goebbels would be proud of.
    But hey, it’s a big money maker that sucks humongus amounts of cash from the pockets of hateful and violent ignorant American bigots.

    Republican Newt Gingrich fired back in his own tweet, “Michael Moore should spend a few weeks with ISIS and Boko Haram. Then he might appreciate @American Sniper. I am proud of our defenders.”
    First off, Newt and most of America don’t give a rats azz about Boko Haram.
    Second, Chris Kyle was pretty much dead by the time ISIS came around.
    Chris Kyle wasn’t fighting for our freedoms as I keep hearing. What freedoms did we not have because of Iraq? What did Chris Kyle “defend” us from?
    This movie is propaganda to continue to justify the war machine. All those bootlickers calling Chris Kyle a “hero” cuz he shot for our freedoms are fools/tools.

      Chris Kyle defended Americans from killers trying to kill them. He shot them before they shot Americans. He would see an enemy setting up on the roof of a building getting ready to shoot Americans and Kyle would shoot the enemy.
      It was self defense, pure and simple.
      We can debate whether we should have been there at all and probably agree – I think we should not have invaded. But when we go to war, we defend ourselves and that is what Kyle did.

      Kyle was a distinguished American soldier who served our nation honorably and deserves praise for his service.

    Moore is an ungrateful fool.
    His uncle and the troops serving with him were in all probability protected by American snipers.
    A sniper shooting an enemy at long range is no different than an artilleryman shooting an enemy at long range or a bomber dropping bombs.
    This is war.
    There is no rule that says you have to fight hand-to-hand.
    I have known several snipers and am proud of them and their service.
    One is an old family friend who was a Marine sniper in Vietnam. I will be seeing him when I go home to watch the Super Bowl with family.
    Great guy.
    Great American.
