Good Movie - KYLE IS A HERO!

Rating: 7/10 (6 February 2015)

Chris Kyle joined the Navy in 1999 because he wanted to protect his country. He had no say in whether or not the US went into Iraq. What were the US troops sent to Iraq supposed to do? Refuse to defend themselves? Refuse to protect each other? In reply to user Qrobur, It's pretty obvious that when Kyle refers to the enemy as 'Savages', he's referring to the insurgents, not Iraqi civilians. In my book, if you kill people by sawing their heads off, setting them on fire, chop the hands off of thieves, plant IED in areas where their Iraqi countrymen can and do accidentally trigger them, stone women to death, trick little kids and mentally disabled into strapping on a suicide vest, use your countrymen and/or children as human shields you ARE A SAVAGE! To everyone bashing Kyle and the movie: Why did you watch it? You had to know what it was about before you watched it! With approx .01% of the US signing up to defend it, those who do are all heroes! I am grateful that they have the guts to. Having to patrol and constantly have on their mind that the next step they take could blow off their legs, or get them shot in the face (as has happened to their friends) is a level of stress that most people will never have to endure. I for one, deeply appreciate their guts, selflessness and sacrifice!
