I think Clint Eastwood is:

Creating Art
Honoring Service
Exploring the consequences of battle
Expiating his own vigilante devils

I don’t sense that Clint is trying to dishonor Mr. Kyle or the military.

I don’t watch docu-dramas about real life warriors anymore.

Portraying anyone on film in an entertainment format is a hard if not impossible thing to accomplish.

From a boot recruit to a GO, the experiences men at arms face from day one till the end, is a whole ‘nother animal than a non-military or naval type can ever really appreciate.

Any one of a million in uniform has a story full of wonderful and horrible things, in perspective, the lives of heros ar eno different, only more visible.

I think the young private of Army or Marines or seaman or airman has as much a story as anyone else, self included.

To really know why and what warriors know, ask a person young or old why they DIDN’T enlist or commission in the armed services.....

God bless sour troops

Sometimes a movie is just a movie.

Is Chris Webb the one who said they were using snipers to kill looters in Louisiana?
