[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I saw both Selma and American Sniper and I enjoyed them BOTH.  I think it is stupid to compare the two and I certainly would not criticize anyone for seeing one over the other.  Frankly, I would hope that people would see both - they represent different experiences about being American.  It is annoying that folks are always drawing these dumbass ideological lnes in the sand.

Interestingly enough, [b]I am the DW of an Iraq vet and I would identify myself Liberal to Moderate.  I am guess I am the oxymoron in the room. TBH, the thing that bothers me about Kyle (even before the movie) is his bravado about killing.  Granted I am comparing him to my DH who has never mentioned how many folks he killed and would get downright insulted if you asked him. [/b] He took no pride in it and towards the end of his deployment realized that the enemies were men sent by their leaders to fight for an ideal.  My DH does not glorify his time in Iraq and would not allow anyone else to fawn over him because of it.  He did what he was ordered to do.  [/quote]

Same here. My DH is a retired SEAL officer and never have I heard him glorify what he has done during operations. [/quote]
