I did not watch the movie so I will not comment on it.

But I do share the idea that Hollywood needs to put more attention on returning vets who need society's help. Same with those politicians who did not vote to give the vets more support - they need to take a closer look at their actions. This is something, I'm sure, we can all agree on.

The problem is if Clint Eastwood makes the movie about returning veterans the left won't like it. If Michael Moore makes a movie about returning veterans, the rightwon't like it

In this particular instance, I agree with Mikey.
Of course you do, you two share many similar qualities.

You agree with Mikey because neither you nor he have a clue what you are talking about.

Especially in World War Two, from where the "coward" accusation originated, the life span of a sniper in combat was not good. The problem was that snipers were so effective that they attracted counter-measures aimed specifically at them, which could (and often did) include being hunted by enemy snipers, and attracting machine gun, artillery, tank and mortar fire. All intended for one guy.

Snipers are not, were not cowards.

I suggest you read Lone Survivor and Marine Sniper, along with American Sniper.

BTW, Canadians wrote the book on sniping, and taught the USMC how it was done back in the day of Carlos Hathcock.
You have to excuse the nattering class, they have a cursory knowledge of history, and even lessor understanding of facts.

Actually, yes. I'm a master at spotting blowhards
The one in your mirror being your greatest foe.

Perhaps you should visit some forums more suited to your junior high level of inane banter.
Give him some links to the ones you inhabit, like that Beiber forum you love so much.

That usually happens to blowhards that get their *** handed to them repeatedly
Well that would explain why you're here just for the entertainment, lolz.

You think a bolt action rifle is "superior technology"?

lol

Current bolt action rifles differ little from the Mauser Model 98........built in 1898. That makes the "superior technology" 117 years old.

And the *******s he killed were not simply "savages", they were evil savages.
I love my 98. 20yo and still smooth a silk.

I was taught cowards should be sniper targets.
Generally.

GREEN BERET SNIPER: ‘Michael Moore’s A Crisco Sweating Waste Of Space Not Worthy To Be In The Presence Of A Sniper’

Green Beret Sniper, Bryan Sikes, hilariously slams ‘cupcake’ Michael Moore for calling American Sniper, Chris Kyle, a coward.
Mr. Moore-


Good afternoon there sweetheart, I hope this finds you alive and well. You can thank our men and women of the armed forces for that, by the way, and that also includes us cowardly snipers. It seems you’ve found time between licking the jelly off your fingers and releasing your grasp of a bear claw to tweet some junk about snipers being cowards.

My buddies and I got a good laugh over the tweet, so I thank you. For a guy worth $50 million dollars, you sure have quite a bit to bitch and cry about. I guess like a moth to flame, you too gravitate towards things that are popular and in the moment — in this case it’s snipers. Too bad for you that your attempt at being relevant via your 70+ year old family experience has failed. It has only made you look dumber than a bag of hammers. Next time you should try something more original than going after snipers for one reason or another…that was so last month.

It’s typical of “men” like you to criticize the intestinal fortitude, focus, discipline and patriotism of a sniper. It must stem from an inferiority complex or something. But hey, it’s okay cupcake. We snipers are thick skinned and the efforts of world class turds such as yourself to portray us in a negative light only makes us laugh. If you and I were in the same room, I’d throw you a smile and gently pat you on the head knowing you’re nothing more than a mouth breathing, Crisco sweating waste of space not even worthy of being in the presence of a sniper. It’s almost funny how people like you preach things like ‘acceptance’ and ‘not passing judgement’ or ‘labeling people’, but then are the first to do so when a person is in some way dissimilar from you.

So tenderfoot, I leave you with this final thought: what if you found yourself in some sort of hostage situation where you were held at knife-point by some crazed person and they were dead set on making an example of you by bleeding you out on Hollywood Blvd in front of the world, and the only way out was with the precision aimed fire of a sniper? Would you want that coward to take the shot?

Because knowing how you feel about snipers such as myself and your hatred of firearms, I’d probably drop the mag, roll the bolt and go get a Jack & Coke before helping you out.

Very Respectfully,

Sikes

Hmmm, I see a lot of Cannuck in Mikey, lol.

Well, that was rather silly.
Must have hurt reading about yourself , like that.

Only silly people would be offended. Even sillier people would think it was a good article.
It wasn't an article. It was a retort. Maybe you should turn off the puter, go for a walk, clear your head a little. You're so upset you can't even understand what you're reading now.

“Never counted in the "costs" of war are the dead birds, the charred animals the murdered fish, incinerated insects, poisoned water sources, destroyed vegetation. Rarely mentioned is the arrogance of the human race toward other living things with which it shares this planet. All these are forgotten in the fight for markets and ideologies. This arrogance will probably be the ultimate undoing of the human species.”

Somehow, I could care less about a few birds, fish or trees getting bombed.

Hurray for Jordan in their fight against ISIS..

Newsflash, America: Bradley Cooper is not Chris Kyle. He just plays him in a movie.

The "American Sniper" actor came under fire Wednesday when he was spotted in the audience at the 2016 Democratic National Convention with his girlfriend, Russian model Irina Shayk. Cooper was a trending topic on Twitter as social media users were apparently surprised to discover he's not really a Republican after playing Kyle, a conservative hero, in Clint Eastwood's movie about the late Navy SEAL sniper.

twits...

Thanks, Tay, for resurrecting this thread and reminding me once again what a complete and total Richardhead Michael Moore is.

Beyond belief.

You really are an arsehole.

What you don't know about the subject would fill a substantial library...........starting with the fact that THE book on sniping was written by a Canadian, that Canadian snipers are the best in the world (although a Brit currently holds the distance record, narrowly beating out a Canadian), and that Canadians have been the best since World War One, when 8 out of the 12 best snipers in the conflict (both sides) were Canadian.

And if you ever get out of Middle School, and your balls drop, you might be enough of a man to polish Chris Kyle's boots. Although I doubt either of the prerequisites are going to happen.

Maybe a boot licker like you would polish his boots, I'd spit in his face to the cheers of thousands of ruined Iraqi families.
You're human garbage, white supremacist, useless jingoist, imperialist-apologist, you're a part of the sizeable reactionary cancer in society that's in dire need of excision.

Proving beyond any doubt that you are a total idiot. Not that there ever was any.
