Carlos Hathcock?Sorry folks. Quantity =/= quality
The "proper"/best American sniper will always be Carlos Hancock
That being said, when it hits these shores I'll likely give it a watch - unless reviews slam it beforehand

Doh! Yes!Carlos Hathcock?
Came from his book, which you need to read. Satellite phone if I remember correctly, he was out with the troops so much he would use down time to call home.Saw the movie last night. Thought it was boring, long, and badly put together. The ending (although overdue) just sort of comes from nowhere. Would not watch again. Most overhyped movie in a while.
From the couple of people I do know who were in Iraq in the military the condition in the bases he was at looked far better than they described- and on the cell phone while in combat? Did that seriously happen?
Did you just fart or did you say something? hmm let me wait for the smell and I'll know, the really foul aroma comes from your mouth...Stfu.
I agree with some of the article, but then again it could not be 100% wrong. If you read the book you understand Kyle did what he was supposed to do. Kill the people who were going to kill Americans. He expresses disgust with the Iraqi's but it is not some jingoistic mind set. He just has no respect for people who are killing each other and flocking to the Iraqi cities just for the opportunity to try and kill infidels.
Gal at work said it was practically unreadable it was so poorly written. Its on my list to check out nonetheless.The book was a very good read.
This. Fawking Seattlites.America hating communist.
Don't generalize too much. I'm a Vietnam vet, and I repaired airplane radios. Never slogged a rice paddy, never fired a shot at an enemy, but I figure I did what I was told, and that was my share. Be proud to be in the company of the people who were the real heroes.I was at a function recently and they asked for the veterans to stand up, if my family had not prodded me I would not have stood up, not embarrassed but I don't consider what I did to be in the same category of the recent veterans, or the Vietnam, Korea and WWII vets.
True.The Middle East tiff isn't even close to WWII. Bullshit the battles were shorter in WWII.
