Meanwhile in cookoo land...the Hollywood liberals are starting to protest this movie because Clint Eastwood should not be glorifying a killer. I kid you not... American hero is a killer.
Liberalism is a serious mental disorder.
I wouln't classify him as a killer, though some of the things he states in his autobiography are a little strange. He said killing was "fun" and something that he loved to do, and stated that he wished he could have killed more people.
My grandapa fought in WW 2 in the Battle of the Bulge, which is considered "the single biggest and bloodiest battle American soldiers have ever fought -- in which nearly 80,000 were killed, maimed or captured in an infernal test of courage and endurance."
When I or anyone would ask my grandpa about the war and what it was like, etc, he would say, "I had a job to do and I did it. There is nothing more to say." He didn't go on and boast about how awesome killing was and it was fun blowing people up. (My grandpa was a registered republican and always voted republican).
Obviously, Chris Kyle can say whatever he wants, but whenever I have talked to WW 2 vets, they never say anything like he said. They basically say what my grandpa said. Maybe if Chris Kyle would have reached my grandpas age, he would have thought differently. There is nothing fun about war, in my opinion. People join to protect their country. They join for a cause or a purpose and to do a job. I wouldn't think most would classify it as "fun."
