    American Sniper

    Very good movie. 4 stars out of 4 stars.
    Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.

    Re: American Sniper

    Very moving. The GF and I (well I held back, she didn't) tears at the end. To see the real footage of the funeral procession. Theater was silent as we left...

    Great job in showing the emotional side of the pressure.

    I KNOW I should have done this sooner but starting my contribution to the Wounded Warrior Project. Whether you agree with war or not, these men and women are doing what they are told to do, that should be enough to make you want to help. God bless them.
    How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!

    you should see it Vet, as hard as some of it is to see. Agree with you regarding war. we've both been there, but if for nothing more than respect, its worth paying the $12 bucks to see. I read the book. it was outstanding. the movie--although not as detailed for obvious reasons--really brought Kyl to life.
    this is bull****

    A very good movie. One thing I wish they had done differently- when Kyle was pictured starting his 4 different tours, it would have been informative if the date had been put onscreen as well. It always helps me put things in perspective when I think about what I was doing about that time.

    I finally saw it today.

    Very hard for me to get to the end. It brought back a lot of memories.

    War is worse than hell, and you had it worse than I did. At least we were given the resources in the dessert.

    True. It doesn't really matter what your equipment is when you're in contact.
