I saw it Friday night, great movie. Accurately portrayed events unlike some other movies such as The Hurt Locker. I am eternally grateful to our veterans.

Scott, Will pretty much hit it dead on the head with his comment. It was an amazing movie with the perfect amount of war/combat scenes and real life experiences that didnt involve the battle field.

Pat I'll pm you my questions on a couple of scenes. I have his book since my B-day in July but have yet read it. Guess I need to get busy on it.

I highly recommend reading American Gun too if you get the chance...its the history of the United States in 10 Firearms and its a Chris Kyle book. Pretty cool book.

The movie's action scenes looked pretty accurate, but I keep reading about how Chris Kyle is a liar controversy and it actually isn't based on much fact. So eh, idk, still liked the movie, but brings back memories some would rather forget.

Well I think that's debatable too, I'm an OEF vet and I really don't think we should be there in the first place. So much time/money/lives wasted. And take for instance the scene where he has to kill the child and mother. Imagine a brother was left behind, or saw it happen. He's probably fighting for ISIS right now. All this is highly debatable, but I think the whole ordeal is doing more harm than good. After reading one of Ron Paul's books, American Revolution? We just shouldn't be there, we have enough problems in our own country. And I don't buy the whole Chris Kyle "better to fight them there than here" BS, after the Patriot Act BS we can stop most terroristic threats before they even start.

Dont disagree...but the politicians started the war and voted for the war. Soldiers were told to go over there and thats exactly what they did.
I also agree that we need to take care of our own yard before we start looking into somebody elses...our country is a disaster right now but we're still trying to police the world while we have a wide open border.

..the thing is "they" have taken the fight to us here (and the "westernized" civilized world), ...and continue to do so (..most recently paris...)... it's a war of ideology and way of life... kyle did his job, and did it well, ...that's what matters...
...I've got a signed copy of his book "American sniper", ...good read

Last few nights the history channel has been airing a series of shows about snipers. Weapons, tactics, and re-creations of some of the more incredible engagements from snipers from throughout history. Some incredible stories. One story I hadn't ever heard, but it's pretty badass about Sgt. Ed Eaton. We've all heard about Carlos Hathcock, but this guy's pretty amazing

saw it Sunday with the wife......meh.....it was ok. It got better as the movie went on but there were a ton of holes/jumps in the story and kinda awkward moments. Didn't seem well written, edited, or directed. It felt like they rushed through a lot of it to get to combat scenes.
