American movie, for American "hero" in an American war, what could go wrong?

Rating: 5/10 (20 January 2015)

I was very intrigued with the trailer, mesmerized to say the least. The movie was another thing.
When I was the USA I met this Chris, he was no hero. Just a guy with a rifle and a sense that he was right.
For most of the patriots there is no room for the idea that Kyle might have been a good soldier but a bad guy; ()or a mediocre guy doing a difficult job badly; ()or a complex guy in a bad war who convinced himself he loved killing to cope with an impossible situation; ()or a straight-up serial killer exploiting an oppressive system that, yes, also employs lots of well-meaning, often impoverished, non-serial-killer people to do oppressive things over which they have no control.
()Or that Iraqis might be fully realised human beings with complex inner lives who find joy in food and sunshine and family, and anguish in the murders of their children.
()Or that you can support your country while thinking critically about its actions and its citizenry.
I'm even surprised to see that people vote it "Best of"...
Well what do I know, I'm just an European.
