Great disservice to Chris Kyle and all Iraq war vets!

Rating: 1/10 (23 January 2016)

My review of American Sniper. As many of you who know me, both liberal and conservative Facebook friends may has guessed, I HATED this movie. But what most of you'd be wrong about is why.
JUST HORRIBLE! I think the movie does a great disservice to Chris Kyle. He along with the Marines he served with are made to look inept. The combat scenes written for these guys have them hesitating all the time, or worse yet, unable to sense any real danger. Here is the recounting of one totally ridiculous scenario;
Sent to find the second in command of the head terrorist in Iraq, known as the "Butcher," they are fully armed and ready to take on this evil enemy right? Yup, so they break into the Iraqi home of a family. They quickly subdue the 50 year old man, wife and kids. Okay fine. Then they show them a photo of, "the Butcher." The family of course knows nothing. Upstairs the Marines go, full metal jacket like, and set up the stake-out. With what you might ask? .. A camera, and there the photo-journalist waits along with Chris and other Marines.
Enter the 50 year old Iraqi family man, "hey, you guys want some dinner?" Of course young Marines and Navy Seal Chris are totally into a good meal and so very hungry so all seven of them head back down to the dinning room where Mrs. Iraqi has made them the Iraqi equivalent of Thanksgiving dinner. (photo-journalist stays upstairs with the camera of course.)
Low and behold here comes Walter Cronkite, hey guys look at this cool photo I got of the "Butcher" going into the villa next-door!" Wow cool says Navy Seal and 7 Marines, now we know where he is, let's eat! BUT the plot thickens ...
Good old Chris Kyle is no silly Marine, he notices something odd about their friendly Mr. Iraqi guy. He has CALLOUS ELBOW! Now every good sniper knows callous elbow when he see it, so Chris very politely excuses himself from the feast to use the little Navy Seals room. And what does he find is seconds? The STASH of AR-15's rocket launchers, IED's and ammunition, he's got the guy, he is no Thanksgiving day turkey, he's a terrorist!
Back to the table, "what should we do with him boys?" (scene change) Iraqi guy is pushed outside his quiet terrorist family abode, he walks pensively across the street to the "Butcher's" door, politely knocks, and guess what? A bunch of the terrorist neighbor guys are very unhappy, (it's after 10 pm) and they come out shooting.
All the while the "Butcher" quietly leaves through a tunnel under the backyard fence! NOW PLEASE, even Don Knott's in Mayberry NC would have seen that one coming! (Google it kids)
The entire movie is like that, completely silly. But what really topped off the disingenuous nature of this FARCE is using real combat vets at the end of the movie along with actual footage of the tragic funeral of Chris Kyle. It totally disgusted me using these guys and that footage to make money.
Many people loved this piece of trash. Chris Kyle and the Marines who fought and died in Iraq deserve much better than this garbage!
