It is easy to talk trash about someone who is unable to defend himself.Kyle was a racist. And a sociopath. and a Liar. But, man, they made him look good, didn't they?

Its OK though to shoot a little kid or a woman from ambush who cannot defend themselves. In fact for folks like you that is downright heroic.....Facts are not your friend on account facts have a "liberal bias"....It is easy to talk trash about someone who is unable to defend himself.Kyle was a racist.

Throughout history, soldiers always identified the enemy among themselves with some kind of epithet such as: Union soldiers were called "Bluebellies," Confederate soldiers were called "Rebs," in WW II the Germans were called "Krauts," the Japanese were called "Japs," in Korea and Vietnam the enemy was called "Gooks," we can go back to the era of Genghis Khan when the Tartars were called the "Dog Headed Tartars." Nowadays, in the war in the Middle East they are called "Ragheads." Does this make the soldiers racist or is it the fact that they face death every time when they face the enemy, therefore, they dislike the enemy? Maybe those who have never been soldiers, especially in war zone, can identify with the fear and dislike of death with sharks, crocodiles, alligators, venomous snakes or spiders. Maybe the same underlying factor causes some people to fear guns and want to ban gun ownership.It is easy to talk trash about someone who is unable to defend himself.Kyle was a racist.

It's easy to trash talk someone who put his racism, lies and sociopathy in printed form for everyone to see.
Now, if Eastwood had actually filmed the book Kyle had written, I don't think you'd have liked him so much.
I suspect that you confuse the concept of "cover and concealment" with "ambush." You never consider counter-snipers which necessitates cover and concealment. You leave out of consideration that in this present war there are no front lines neither are the enemy combatants in uniforms for easy identification.Its OK though to shoot a little kid or a woman from ambush who cannot defend themselves.

hysterical leftists over a frikkin movie

He kept soldiers like you alive by killing people you didn't seeGlory wasn't fact checked? i'll bet dollars to donuts i can find several websites that will document the historical errors in itIt's a movie, not a history. Glory was not fact checked, but errors certainly existed in the narrative.
Take all the criticism with a pound of salt, folks.
i haven't seen the movie, but everything i've heard about it seems to point to it being a somewhat disturbing film that should make everyone question the price of war for the individuals involved
that said, i do have a problem with chris kyle, and that the movie, again from reports, seems to gloss over his very large and very real character flaws.
i also have a problem with the right-wing deification of the man.
I'm not Deifying him. (did your shift button break or are you just an inconsiderate dick?)
In fact, I'm not even 100% sure I like Snipers, even our own
I am a Veteran. A Former Soldier. A Combat Infantryman
Not an assassin.
But...... Anybody that puts on the Uniform deserves credit. I may not agree with what he did, but I'm not going to put him down for it.

I love the people who go nuts over a movie like The American Sniper.
The ones who rant about this and that, rant about the right-wing nut jobs that go to watch it and whatnot.
The lefties are really just pissed the movie blew out so many other feel-good bullshit movies they put out.
Face it ... If the movie scores $200 million the opening weekend, it is just a testament to the left's failure to make heads or tails of what at least 50% of Americans find both interesting and entertaining.
Haven't seen the movie myself ... Will wait for the DVD to add it to my collection.
Rant, hate, try to disavow the movie ... It doesn't matter as long as it is entertaining.
Some Americans don't get their marching orders from movies ... The same Americans that don't have to be told what to do by the movie industry or provided for by the government.

"Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding."
You don't know shit about snipers. Or special forces.What the fuck is a navy seal...a baby sitter? Get real, dude.that's the thing, kyle was not and should not be regarded as a 'positive influence'The left can't afford any positive influence in this country anymore.
he was a skilled sniper, but that skill set alone shouldn't make him anyone's hero
Kyle was most certainly a positive influence for his fellow soldiers he kept alive by his skills. I do agree that he was not a hero. Hero is a sobriquet that is bandied about far too
frequently. A hero knowingly places himself into a situation that he knows has a good chance of killing him. Usually to save someone else's life, though not always. That is what a hero does. Anything else is just their job, which they can do well or poor, but it's just their job.
No, a Navy SEAL is a incredibly well trained commando. Their job is to infiltrate by land, sea or air, engage and destroy the enemy. That's it. If a SEAL enters into a building full of bad guys to extract a comrade, and he knows he has little chance of surviving it, that is heroic. Merely shooting people is not.
Iraqis are not my enemy...they never were...I never bought into that lying bull shit you all feasted on and continue to feast on..Throughout history, soldiers always identified the enemy among themselves with some kind of epithet such as: Union soldiers were called "Bluebellies," Confederate soldiers were called "Rebs," in WW II the Germans were called "Krauts," the Japanese were called "Japs," in Korea and Vietnam the enemy was called "Gooks," we can go back to the era of Genghis Khan when the Tartars were called the "Dog Headed Tartars."

What he dis was save lives. What have you done that even comes close?was he a positive influence, or did he just do a job that benefited them?that's the thing, kyle was not and should not be regarded as a 'positive influence'The left can't afford any positive influence in this country anymore.

in other words, did his actions and example make them better soldiers and people? i would guess not.

No, people who are good at a job will rub off on those around them. It's called "modeling" and is a well known psychological principle. Championship teams are created the same way. There is always a person, or persons, who are catalysts who make everyone around them better.
did he? seems like his family has made money on the book - and that's okay - but let's not pretend it was a non-profit endeavor for him.I hope Chris Kyle's wife gets some of the money it's generating. I know that Chris dedicated the book sales to the families of killed Seals.The more popular the movie is the more hysterical the left gets. Which means the more popular the movie gets.
Saved lives and killed terrorists who deserved to diehe was a skilled sniper. what did he do that was heroic?He is to the men who came from from Iraq because Kyle was there taking down your heroes.[
that's the thing, kyle was not and should not be regarded as a 'positive influence'
he was a skilled sniper, but that skill set alone shouldn't make him anyone's hero
what the fuck was Kyle doing in another country killing its civilians...WTF was that ?Saved lives and killed terrorists who deserved to diehe was a skilled sniper. what did he do that was heroic?He is to the men who came from from Iraq because Kyle was there taking down your heroes.[

I did not even hint that I agreed with the Iraq War. So do not spin into that direction because I won't bite on that lure. I have never agreed to tip the balance of the region by taking Hussein out.Iraqis are not my enemy...they never were...I never bought into that lying bull shit you all feasted on and continue to feast on..Throughout history, soldiers always identified the enemy among themselves with some kind of epithet such as: Union soldiers were called "Bluebellies," Confederate soldiers were called "Rebs," in WW II the Germans were called "Krauts," the Japanese were called "Japs," in Korea and Vietnam the enemy was called "Gooks," we can go back to the era of Genghis Khan when the Tartars were called the "Dog Headed Tartars."
