I do not like these Seal guys writing books.
Very concerned about loose lips with these Seals.
And The Gov
These are ongoing Ops.
One of my pet irritations with Hollywood war movies is the fire and flame associated with explosions. Kids have come to expect it without knowing that genuine military explosives produce practically no flash. Gasoline is cheap and it seems Hollywood has an abundance of it to jazz up explosions.
Hubby and I just came from seeing it. Sold out theater and when I was over you could hear a pin drop. I felt a little shell shocked. Clint Eastwood deserves an Oscar for this one. Bradley Cooper was fantastic but Michael Keaton will probably beat him out. Age factor probably. Loved the pictures and footage at the end, a fitting tribute. Plus a nice reminder that we are still fighting evil over there and in many other places around the world too.
BTTT
Well, now you know.
My point is this:
If Protestants are going to insist that there’s no connection between the name “Rock” and the statement that “upon this Rock I will build my Church,” then it is incumbent on them to explain how Jesus could have been so stupid as to create an opening for the Catholic Church to drive a truck through.
What I know is that your tin foil is on too tight.
Omg
You betchya.
seen it
agreed , absolutely must see
In this too, just as an aside, google or youtube Chuck Mawhinney, who had 103 confirmed and 216 “probables” across 16 months in Vietnam.
what exactly did Kyle shoot ? was it mainly 300 WinMag , or other cals ? Greater than .308 no?
Welcome home, Brother.
Haven’t seen the film yet, but in a tv advertisement for it, I noticed the wedding-reception scene was filmed on the north side of Amphibious Base in Coronado with Glorietta Bay in the background, which to me, seems authentic enough.
I read some blogs and some things from Chris Kyle before he was killed. I remember the posts and outrage at the news he was killed on Sniper Central and other web sites. There was a lot of talk about Ventura's libel lawsuit at the time over the book and even more after Chris death. There was some conspiracy stuff floating around as well concerning Obama and the where this nut came from that shot Chris. Many believe it was not just a nut case random shooting by the supposed Marine with PTSD.
It is a movie worth seeing and does a good job portraying the military people and families I know and why such families make choices to serve our great nation, because these are the ones who really do still believe there are something's worth fighting and dying for, even what is left of the good old USA.
I don’t know how they depicted it in this movie, but in the book he prefers the .338 Lapua.
He killed Randy Weaver’s wife. He was charged with manslaughter but of course the case was dismissed because of Clinton and his cohorts. He was also involved in the Janet Reno-led Waco massacre.
