I recently watched the movie American Sniper, I personally loved the movie because I have read Chris Kyles book and researched his military service and the movie (with the time they were given) told the story well. Knowing how some people in this country are i knew there was going to be some recoil and such on this heroic, touching story and of course Michael Moore comes out and has to state his ridiculous and frankly annoying opinion on this movie, he stated on twitter "snipers aren't heroes" as well as implying Chris kyle was a coward and invader. Tragically Chief petty officer Kyle is not here anymore to defend himself so many other veterans, friends and brothers in arms have stood up for him including Dakota Meyer, the second living marine to serve in Iraq/Afghanistan wars to receive the congressional medal of honor. much respect to Sergeant Meyer like always and much pity towards Mr. Moore.

above is a link to more specifics on what Dakota Meyer's response was
I can't believe that Moore or let alone anyone could possibly say what he did. It is ironic that he is calling Meyer a coward while Meyer isn't even alive because he was in war something so far away from cowardly while Moore sits on his phone cowardly and makes a tweet so rude. I just want to know why Moore felt the need to make such a harsh comment. Why he felt the need to express it so much that he knew how much backlash he would get. Maybe he just wanted attention. I just think that he should have kept it to himself because of the subject.
ReplyDeleteMichael Moore makes me mad. I want to see that movie it sounds like a very moving, inspirational film. Too bad not everyone can look at the positives in things and instead lash out on all snipers rather than appreciate the sacrifices that they make for our country.
