Here is Schultz’s show monologue about “American Sniper”:Go here to read the entire article and to see Schultz's monologue.
“It humanized the struggle of soldiers returning from combat with post-traumatic stress disorder. It also serves as a harsh reminder that soldiers were sent to war under false pretense — at least, that’s how I took it.
The movie’s success might suggest that Americans are hungry for a hero in the never-ending fighting in the Middle East.
However the real Chris Kyle was far more complicated than the hero portrayed in Eastwood’s movie.
In his autobiography, Kyle described the enemy as ‘savages and despicably evil.’
Kyle said his ‘only regret is that he didn’t kill more.’ Kyle even described killing as ‘fun’ and something he ‘loved’ to do. Simply put: Kyle’s version of the Iraq war was black and white.
There was no room for humanizing Iraqis when he had his finger on the trigger.
To Kyle, if they weren’t Americans, they were the enemy. Unfortunately some of those feelings have spread into our culture.
The public reaction to the movie “American Sniper” also highlights some of the most disturbing consequences of this war: the normalization of Islamophobia and being one of them.
Personally I don't see a problem with Kyle's assessment of the enemy. I don't see any issue with the idea that sometimes you have to take a life to SAVE LIVES!
This is a perfect example of how the liberal elite fail to accept the reality of the world we live in.
Islamo-fascists....terrorists...or whatever you want to call them are bent on killing every American they meet. It doesn't care what your race, sex, religion or heritage happens to be. If you're an American they want you dead.
This type of thinking also explains why we have failed to achieve success in the Middle East. Fantasy trumps reality.
Sidenote: Is it just me or is this morphing from a movie critique into an assault on the character of a man who laid it on the line to defend this country. I'll be following this carefully. I'm leaning toward this being an assault on Chris, but I'll hold fire until I'm sure.
UPDATE: Seems that Moore is walking back some of his comments. Read what the arrogant, fat bastard, lying son of a bitch, dick sucking clown, shit eating mongrel has to say here.
