The real american sniper was a hate-filled psycho.

Ha.

The very schmucky racist shitstain that said nobody would remember Maya Angelou after she died is now reduced to name-dropping her in an attempt to make a point. Effectively remembering her.

Now that is amusing. Kazing!

I served in the Army for over two decades. I served when it was not popular to be a soldier,because we were in an unpopular war. I wasn't in combat arms but combat support. I was it the Signal Corps,the commo guys who could put up a 100 foot antenna tower in the middle of a German forest or on top of a Korean mountain. I never kicked in a door nor collected a body count. The only time that I fired my weapon was for a warning shot. We worked in snow up to our waist,in freezing temperatures and heat over 110 degrees. Sometimes we went 36 hours without sleep,went without meals or showers and slept on the ground,and used a hole dug in the ground for a latrine. We made sure as much as humanly possible that "the message always gets through"whether that message was from a general or a sergeant. We worked with obsolete equipment sometimes held together with 100 mile-an-hour tape and bailing wire. The job wasn't exciting nor heroic but necessary.
So where is our movie,Mr. Eastwood? The one about all those guys and gals who do a hard dirty unglamorous military job? The ones that never get books written about them,nor collect the medals the combat arms soldiers get. But without us that combat soldier would not get the ammunition,food,water,medical supplies and the many other things that they need. The combat photographer whose weapon is a camera which can be far more deadly than a rifle. The mechanic who works hard to see that the vehicles are working properly,the truck drivers who carry the beans,bullets and bandages up to those who need it.
What's that you say,Mr. Eastwood? Americans would never go to see a movie like that?No body bags nor body counts,no blood spatter nor slo-mo Dance Macabre as dozen of bullets hit a human body? Heroes with glinty eyes,larger-than-life ,soaked in the blood of their enemies.
I am afraid I'd have to agree with you,Mr.Eastwood. 'Mericans wouldn't pay good money to see ordinary people doing less-than heroic things,no matter how interesting or well-scripted that movie was. They want Heroes in the old school way, the Spartans holding the Pass,Travis drawing a line in the dirt at the Alamo,Audie Murphy standing on a burning tank destroyer fighting off the Nazis. But for every hero there are thousands of us,not asking for glory nor medals but just asking for a small amount of recognition.
Maybe a five minute short,Mr. Eastwood?

You answered your own question, didn't you? It wouldn't earn out its cost. So, it would have to be done as a low-budget documentary. Not Clint Eastwood territory.

That kind of movie has been made several times but they are usually about the military in peacetime, such as "South Pacific" or "From Here to Eternity." When set in wartime, they are usually light comedies, such as "Operation Petticoat" or "Kiss Them for Me."

I just have to say that American Sniper made me think of the tremendous stress on military personnel in those type of situations. I was a mess in the theater I can't imagine what I would be like if I had to walk a mile in their shoes. That is why I am so thankful for the courage of the men and women who serve in the armed forces. I am sure the things that happened would change a person if you had to live through it.

what other stupidity do u support?

I work with an Ex-Ranger that was in Iraq & Iran and he was at least one of the snipers for his...UNIT? Anyway he said he hated killing little kids and woman but as he said it's not like he had a choice.

(He was in on the taking Bagdad too.)


The enemy soon learned Americans were very reluctant to kill them and loaded them up with explosives had them charge or try to get close to solders and detonate the charges.

So, he said you yelled "Halt" in their language and if they didn't you shot them.

He said he had no problem dropping the hammer on anyone who was acting strange,suspicious or grabbing or holding a weapon or something that could detonate a bomb.

The main stress was all the attacks and shit blowing up. He has to deal with that even now.

He wishes he could go back but his health and the army won't let him.

how would this fag feel if his kids, wife and relatives were killed for no reason at all?

I don't need to, that's what he wrote in his own autobiography. Dude snitched on himself. Either way the world is better off without him. Martin Luther King is a hero. Malcolm X is a hero. This dude is just a straight up deadbeat psycho thug.

Have your read Chris Kyle's autobiography? Quote what he says that substantiate your charges against him.

Martin Luther King was guilty of plagiarism for much of his writing in college, including his PhD. thesis. His womanizing was politically dangerous, and unacceptable for a clergyman.

Malcolm X was a convicted felon and a hate mongerer.

31M40. First it was Radio Relay and Carrier Attendant,then it was changed to Multichannel Communications Specialist. In today's Army the nearest would be 25Q.

Yeah I hear ya, they re-jiggered the MOS system years ago, it's hard to keep them straight nowadays.

The 40 suffix meant you retired as an E7, right?

 

[contrifan32]

I was always under the impression that war meant killing the enemy before they killed you or your fellow solders. I don't see the difference if you killed them from 1000 meters, 10 ft. or from 22,000 feet.

[Setanta84]

Martin Luther King was guilty of plagiarism for much of his writing in college, including his PhD thesis.

First, the fact that this keeps coming up as the major go-to for people who still want to go the 'MLK wasn't all he was cracked up to be' instead of trying to co-opt him in a ham-fisted manner with the 'MLK was actually a Republican*' always screams 'I really want to say the nigger couldn't write or talk as good as y'all are saying but I know that's a dead end.'

Secondly, he was a respected student at Morehouse, Crozer, and Boston University. You don't cross over from black to white higher education institutions in the goddamn 1950s if you can't back up your place there.

MLK may have not properly cited something here or there--he was a college student working before the advent of word processors, it's not unlikely that he may have been like most college students and procrastinated here and there and didn't properly proofread and then completely retype it from scratch--but serial plagiarists do not graduate from college and they don't get into grad school. The man had intellectual merit.

His womanizing was politically dangerous, and unacceptable for a clergyman.

You try being the leader of a pro-labor, anti-military, anti-consumerism, anti-prejudice movement today, let alone the 1950s and 1960s.

The man had J. Edgar Hoover personally write to him and make the argument that suicide would be the preferable end for him if he cared about his family.

The USG pried into every aspect of his life, which is why there is even evidence that he cheated on his wife.

He constantly received death threats.

When they finally killed him, the autopsy revealed that he had the heart of a geriatric, likely due to stress.

And guess what? Sex is a great stress reliever. If you spent two decades constantly having every thick-browed, mouth-breathing hick in the country threaten to or actually attempt to kill you and your family and the most anyone can say about you after they finally kill you is your improperly cited things in a few of your college papers and you hit some strange, you are a goddamn saint.

Malcolm X was a convicted felon and a hate mongerer.

So is Tom Delay, many of the members of the Reagan Administration, and a weirdly high number of the more prominent commentators and political professionals in movement conservatism but I have a feeling you aren't going to bring that up ever.

*Prior to the end of Prohibition/the national rise of FDR, the Republican Party was actually the progressive populist party in the country and would have made the modern Democratic Party look like a more successful version of the John Birch Society in comparison. This is why you had large numbers of black Republicans until the more politically active racist whites started trickling over to the GOP beginning in the late 30s and then going over en masse after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of the 1960s.

Jeez, I hadn't heard that Ventura won his lawsuit. It's exceptionally rare that a "public figure" actually wins a libel lawsuit. Since Ventura won, I've got to assume the evidence against Kyle was particularly monumental.

This is so patently false it isn't funny. Investigate plagiarism here:

Delay's conviction was reversed by a federal appeals court.



The above is leftist mythology, Of the 19 Senators who signed the “Southern Manifesto” in support of segregation, only one moved to the Republican Party, Strom Thurmond, the rest remained in and were revered in the Democrat Party, Robert Byrd the former Klansman, was so loved he was often referred to by Democrats as the "Conscience of the Senate." So, don't try and peddle that bullshit here.

By party and region[edit]
Note: "Southern", as used in this section, refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that made up the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. "Northern" refers to members from the other 39 states, regardless of the geographic location of those states.

The original House version:

Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)
The Senate version:

Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)

Just read that Ventura is now suing Kyle's publisher for promoting the "Kyle Punched Out Ventura" storyline to increase sales of Kyle's book. Since appeals courts have upheld Ventura's judgment against Kyle's estate, Ventura looks to be in for a huge financial windfall.
