Ex Navy Viet Nam Vet

Rating: Null/10 (15 February 2015)

My wife and I went out with our National Guard daughter and the Army Ranger who is dating her last night to see American Sniper.
Michael Moore says snipers are cowards. I guess Moore feels that Kyle was being too mean to Muslim extremists like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was killing both Iraqi Shiites and Americans gleefully at the same time. One of Zarqawi's favorite methods of execution was pushing a drill bit through someone's head with a cordless drill) Another film critic says that Kyle is or was a psychopath who just loved mass killing.
But the fact is that of those 160 plus "kills", he probably saved at least 40 - 90 American Marine, Army, and Iraqi lives, especially when he killed people ready to explode bombs and grenades.
I wish I had been young enough to have helped him.
My take: The film is very coherent, and narrates a full, tightly narrated story of what American Warrior families go through, fighting an asymmetrical war on terror.
American Sniper is one of the best War Movies every made.
Too intense for children, but a must see for adults.
