  • I don't like how it try's to justify what we no know was a bullshit war on bad information. The film infers that the Iraq war was the correct response to 9/11 and that the most important thing about the war was protecting American soldiers while ignoring the lies that put those soldiers in danger in the first place. American freedom was never at risk. That war wrecked America's image and legitimacy around the world, it cost American taxpayers trillions of dollars, and turned us into a country that lies about torture, then endorses and commits it. It never mentioned the occupation leading to mass destruction, hundreds of thousands of deaths, epidemic unemployment and political radicalization that still continues today(ISIS). All under false pretense. It aims to make you think that killing Mustafa is what kept terrorists from invading our local towns or wherever. The real life Chris Kyle was not the modest man you see if the film, either. He bragged in his book about the "savages" he killed. It's gross, ignorant and racist. He openly stated he had no regrets about any person he had ever killed. It really is a typical war time propaganda film. Since propaganda was made legal again 3 years ago, you really have to question what you see in all media. News, entertainment, the whole lot. It really shows off how desperate conservative Americans are find a silver lining from the Iraq war. It was not just, moral or even legal. Instead of dealing with this tragedy, we're just supposed to celebrate a guy who believed all the lies, never cared about the truth, and convinced himself that all of the killing he did was simply the noble defense of the innocent instead of being a part of an illegal occupation that destroyed a country. We need to be real careful about who we glorify in America today.

            • It's appalling how many morons, like that idiotic Michael Moore, could say things about the people of the armed forces who keep me and my family safe from radicals Islamists that want me to submit to their religion that I want no part of. Again, I thank everyone that serves and once served in the United States armed forces.

                      I doubt it's amazing. These kinds of movies are never that impressive.
