God bless Chris Kyle for everything he did for us, and God dam you, Michael Moore, for all you stand for
Maybe you are one of the lucky ones who has already seen the blockbuster and one of the all-time box-office record holders, American Sniper Clint Eastwoods film adaptation of the life of Christopher Scott Chris Kyle, released on December 2014. Kyle, is considered to be the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history, while accumulating 160 confirmed kills, out of 255 probably kills.
As a matter of record, I would also like to commend Eastwoods proactive choice of bringing Kyles story to the big screen as otherwise his legacy could have been lost in an unending compilation of unsung heroes who passed us by if yet seldom noticed or acknowledged by the rest of us; by all of us who should live forever indebted to these champions of liberty to whom we owe nothing short than our freedom no ifs or buts about it.

I have no problem with the movie, just the expectation.
Having served for decades, I would find a complete lack of profanity absurd. Beyond that, it wasn’t rated R for f-bombs and I certainly wouldn’t expect to take my minor children to see it.
Please hand me that ammo can over there. Thank you.
Boy, I hope so...
I don’t think there’s a knife sharp enough to cut through that thick neck of his’.
Saw it today. Crowded Theater. Silent as the credits rolled. Powerful. Focused on the man’s devotion to his country. The opposite of what passes as a hero today.
I don’t think Chris Kyle or Sarah Palin deserve that sort of put-down.
Even if the Pats are not guilty—which is doubtful.
I hate seeing people get shot but I love all types of movies——even with shooting.
The swearing is just part of the military experience.
You’re missing a great film.
.
great link thanks watching it now
I wasn’t talking about profanity at all.
And you know far better than I the message that I found valuable in the movie.
Thanks for your long years of service.
I saw it at the Cinerama Dome on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood - packed theatre and people cheered at the final credits -
What's wrong with this picture?
Do you think you can do that?
OK but first I gotta get a Jim Carrey disguise.
I hear 10 times that many f-bombs at work every single day and am immune to them. My Wife, however, could never sit thru that.
Just returned from watching American Sniper.
Never been to a movie theater as quiet as today.
Powerful movie ... a must see.
Kyle salutes Hathcock in his book as the greatest of all time.
I think Hathcock may have been the greatest marksman, maybe the greatest sniper.
Simo Hayha has to be right up there with the best.
Carlos is still my hero. (as if I'm worthy to clean either of their rifles.)
We went to the 12:30 show on Friday afternoon and while it wasn’t packed, it was quite full for a 12:30 show.
