Funny how Jude Law didn’t face angry liberals for his portrayal of a sniper in ‘Enemy At The Gates’.. Selective indignation

It is not pro war. It portrays the horrors of war and the impact on those that fight them.

Only a real idiot is pro war. You avoid wars by being strong. It’s is appeasers like Neville Chamberlain, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama who get us into the really big wars.

Because killing a man a mile away with artillery fire is not being a coward?

It is not pro-war. We did not start the war. There is a very good reason we went to war and if that reason had no happened there would have not been a war.

Too bad Moore’s dad didn’t die instead of his uncle, America would be smarter, and thinner.

I haven’t seen the movie yet but it doesn’t sound like it’s political at all, and if it’s not explicitly anti-war and anti-Bush that makes it “pro-war” as far as the d*ckheads are concerned. What a sorry bunch of worthless *hits. If anyone had any doubt that leftists don’t passionately loathe American soldiers, you can put that to bed.

Went to the sold out 450 seat IMAX 4PM showing today at Tysons Corner. I find
it hard to believe either one of those POSs actually watched it.

At the end of the movie, no one moved or got out of their seats till after the first
credits rolled and no one made a noise the entire time the movie let out. It was
as if you were leaving a funeral.

So what was Moore’s uncle getting ready to do when the sniper took him out? Set up an IED to blow up an American task force? Attack an American force with RPGs and machine guns? Chris Kyle was doing an over watch mission. His mission WAS NOT to just shoot people. If you read the book, you could say that he was actually an ANTI-sniper. His mission was to IMMEDIATELY remove any threat that was preparing to kill Americans soldiers and Marines. Hey fatso! Watch the movie or read the book before you open your big mouth! You shouldn’t bad mouth what you don’t understand or have any clue about.

To me it’s neither. It’s telling a story about a guy in war. Just like “Hell Is For Hero’s” or “Alvin York” or any other war story. Maybe “Patton” could be but still .... now a movie like “Yankee Doodle Dandy” starring James Cagney can be deemed patriotic. I don’t think Americans are pro-war. We’re brought into one like WW1 and WW2, we fight and then just want to go home back to a normal life. I feel that Germany could be used as an example of making films that were pro-war. IMHO

The Answer Remains what it was on September 12th, 2001.

I understood that then I was only 13.

Its no more pro war patriotic.. the saying a movie about a doctor struggling to save a children by cutting off a cancerous limb is pro cancer and amputation...

the world is full of ugly choices that you have to stand up, face and make a decision on...

this is one man’s story of just such a struggle

Mr. Moore tweeted that his uncle was killed by a sniper in World War II 

Considering Mr. Moore's total lack of veracity and penchant for saying anything for the shock value of the attention that it gains him, . . . . Has anyone with the knowhow bothered to fact check this statement of his?

Always wondered about Christian Science Monitor.

It's not Christian.
It's not Scientific.
It doesn't Monitor anything.

This movie doesn't speak to me as either “Pro-War” or “Pro-Defender”, but as “Pro-Warrior, and depicts the trials and tribulations that our warriors endure while under fire.

Enough of the PC term “defenders”. These young men are WARRIORS”, and that term should NEVER be looked upon with disdain nor scorn from the left and PC crowd who want to direct the narrative in this country over every single “nuance” that they can contrive.

Bravo to our warriors!

Took my son to see the movie tonight. Sold out and managed to catch the next showing barely. Damn good movie and patriotic. Same deal after the movie. No one said a word and it was if we all were leaving a funeral. Very sad but made you proud of our troops that served in the war.

Is ‘American Sniper’ pro-war or patriotic?

It’s neither. It’s about a guy who risked his life to defend civilized human beings from sick ass Islamic mofos that Democrats support because they too are sick ass mofos. We got vets who gave their LIFE, vets who were maimed for life and how does the Democrat party and their voters return the thanks? By putting a sick ass Islamic mofo into the Oval office who gave everything they fought for right back to the enemy and not only that, helped them become even more powerful than before.
