What if the title was German Sniper instead of an American?

Rating: 3/10 (13 January 2015)

In 2002 President George W. Bush said in a speech that the leader of Iraq Saddam Hussein was connected to the attacks in the US on 9/11/2001 that killed over 3000 people.
The reason for attacking Iraq changed several times in an attempt to justify a war Bush had talked up since the day he took office including WMD's (that were never found), and saving the people of Iraq because Hussein was killing his own citizens (which happened ten years earlier)
We were told the US would be seen as liberators and "welcomed as heroes" by every high ranking US official.
We of course now know all this was a complete lie.
Now picture this: A film about a German sniper in WW2 who is full of the patriotic stuff of god and country, breaking a record for killing Polish civilians who dared to fight back against an invading army who took over their country for no apparent reason. This soldier is patted on the back for killing children and women and touted as a hero. He has no remorse and even says he enjoys what he's doing.
That wouldn't be such a pleasant film would it? But what if we added that the German had a wife at home who loved him and a baby on the way? What if he had a younger brother who was in the war too that he could worry about? What about a scene where another German soldier thanked him for saving his life back in Poland?
This would be a great film, for a propaganda piece in 1942 but today, to anyone who is not blindly patriotic and full of the hatred of all things Muslim it comes off as cruel and out of touch.
In the film the Iraqi "insurgents", who would be known as "patriots" in Poland during WW2 are portrayed as all being ultimately corrupt because they don't welcome their invaders with open arms and help them kill their own friends and families. They are called evil and savages because they just don't get that Americans are there to somehow help them by destroying their country.
We are supposed to feel sorry for him later when he develops a conscience of sorts although never admits he was part of a crime.
Kyle was well known for his outright lies about his life including his claim that he killed 30 Americans in New Orleans during Katrina from the Superdome's roof, killing two men who tried to steal his car and of course knocking out Jesse Ventura in a bar. That last lie cost his estate $1.8 million dollars after his death.
In the end Kyle is killed on a firing range, shot down by a fellow soldier much in the way he killed 160 people in Iraq.
He is hailed as a hero, with flags waving and lots of tears, but I wonder if his name was Matthäus Hetzenauer instead of Chris Kyle would we feel the same?
"I couldn't give a flying F about the Iraqis." "I hate the damn savages" said Kyle in his autobiography.
