Great Tribute to a True Hero (who was NOT like a Nazi and who was NOT evil or crazy)

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2015)

I knew a fair amount about Chris Kyle before seeing this, so I wasn't watching it waiting for any surprises (other than creative liberties, which made it even more interesting). This was well done, and I have a new respect for Bradley Cooper that he could play a role like this so well.
What I don't understand are the people who review it or comment on it and say "Oh, he called the people he killed savages" (they were) or how he equates to a Nazi sniper (he doesn't).
The people he killed WERE savages, and what people have troubles understanding (for some reason) is that isn't the same as calling all Iraqi's or all Arabs savages. He did not randomly shoot people - he shot the enemy after studying them and determining there was a threat to the troops he was assigned to protect. That is a big difference from randomly shooting people, as a Nazi may have done.
As for any erratic behavior he may have had afterward (and he did not claim to kill people during Katrina), I think if anyone had to shoot 160 people to protect his troops, and through the stress of oversight every day, they would have some readjustment issues as well. But instead of being grateful, there are those who hate America who insist he was "Psycho" or use other derogatory terms to describe him. I feel sorry for those people who are such shallow thinkers and can't see Kyle for what he was - a great American hero.
