Because of this opinion piece, I'll go see the movie this weekend. I'll buy two tickets. One for me and one to help ticket sales...and maybe I'll mail the ticket to RS.

I wish someone would refer to me as a killing machine with a heart of gold.

Marine, you're a straight up killing machine. But that's not all you are... you're a good man with a heart of gold. God bless you and God bless the United States of America!

Did we just witness a moment? lol
agreed though...
Unfortunately, there are people who are consumed by their own political beliefs. Chris Kyle was a decorated vet, and this movie was about HIS experiences. To overshadow Chris with questions about the justification for the war or digress into questions about the war is ridiculous. I went to this movie not to be entertained, not to validate or invalidate my beliefs, but to honor Chris and watch his story as well as support his family...that is it.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

I thought American Sniper was much more interesting, entertaining, and fulfilling than Lone Survivor. It may be that I liked the LS book more than the LS movie, and I have not yet read AS, just watched the movie.
In a world where fantasy is often more exciting than reality, Clint did about a good a job as you can with this biography.
I will definitely be reading the book. I hope Chris lives up to be as good a man in the book as he was in the movie. I am in awe of his many sacrifices and concept of duty and patriotism.
My wife and I dug the scene where Chris' wife listens in (helplessly and confused) on a firefight. While on the phone from Afghanistan, my wife has heard a car bomb go off, small arms fire, and what sounded like heavy machine gun fire (it was a helicopter hovering overhead). She really freaked out when she heard the helo, thinking I was under fire. I was glad I was there to explain it all. I was actually a little annoyed that the movie did not take the time to show Chris calling the wife back to say he was ok. My only other problem with the movie was when he was playing with that six shooter at the end of the movie...pointing it at his wife. It seemed out of character to treat a gun that carelessly.

^^ yeah I had no idea what was going on with that scene? At first I thought maybe it was his sons toy gun or something....
I saw the movie today. I believe it is a great tribute to a great man who served his country with high honors. The only part that set me off a little was when they stated at the end that Chris was later killed by the veteran he was trying to help. I wish they would've included Chad Littlefield's name in there since he was also killed that day. I know it was a movie about Chris Kyle, but I don't think it would've taken anything away from the movie had they given an honorable mention to Chad Littlefield.
The character of a man can be judged by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
agreed
