Killing Ragheads for Jesus: American Sniper

Cheney doesn't own any Halliburton stock. Anything else?

Chris Hedges has covered war zones from central America to Bosnia to Palestine, and Iraq for most of his life. His take on Chris Kyle isn't flattering:

"Kyle was given the nickname 'Legend.'

"He got a tattoo of a Crusader cross on his arm. 'I wanted everyone to know I was a Christian.

"I had it put in red, for blood.

"I hated the damn savages I’d been fighting,' he wrote. 'I always will.'

"Following a day of sniping, after killing perhaps as many as six people, he would go back to his barracks to spent his time smoking Cuban Romeo y Julieta No. 3 cigars and 'playing video games, watching porn and working out.'

"On leave, something omitted in the movie, he was frequently arrested for drunken bar fights. He dismissed politicians, hated the press and disdained superior officers, exalting only the comradeship of warriors.

"His memoir glorifies white, 'Christian' supremacy and war.

"It is an angry tirade directed against anyone who questions the military’s elite, professional killers."

Chris Kyle: American psychopath.

What's wrong with reaching out and sending some bad guys to Allah?

The sniper hits the intended target. Obama orders a drone strike and kills how many unintended targets??

The sniper is the one the left has the problem with. now why is that ? somebody.....

There's no comparing drones to what our govt did to Kyle to turn him into the demented freak that he was.

"Illegal Wars of Aggression"

You have to laugh at what these clueless little marxist pussies cling to...

Cowards

 

[georgephillip]

You should take that comedy routine on a world wide tour, you'd get millions of laughs and get rich all at the same time.

If they were 'betters', then they would not be getting pillaged, now, would they?

Depends on your definition of "betters", doesn't it? Nazis and Jews: Jews and Arabs?

Cindy Sheehan.... Now theres a hero garbage can admire.

Cindy Sheehan.... Now theres a hero garbage can admire.

Yeah, RWs hate it when people tell the truth about their heroes.

She had every right to object to her son being killed for no reason except to line 1% pockets.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Sheehans son was a hero, she just a dumb twat. Hope that helps.

That's not the story you told us last time, Georgina... 10 days of Air Force basic training... the easiest of all the services... tee-hee.

Don't want to answer my question, Butch?

What question is that, pissant?

I havnt watched the movie yet or read the book, but drone strikes take out many more people and injure others standing around wouldnt you think?
a sniper generaly takes out an intended target, which hopefully these days is someone who is also a threat to others.

So your right, theres no comparing the loss of human life to drones strikes with a lone sniper.

We as a society simplistically admire the warrior class without suffecient reflection.

We should admire those who gave their lives in the fight for civil rights...
Like Harvey Milk, a true American hero.

Lol

 

[Blackrook]

We need men like Chris Kyle who put it all on the line so the rest of us can sit back on our couches and watch stupid sit-coms and reality shows and not think about all the people who want to kill us.

Cheney was rich before he became VP. How do you feel the war made him richer?

"Cheney's Halliburton Made $39.5 Billion on Iraq War
By Angelo Young, International Business Times

20 March 13"

FOCUS Cheney s Halliburton Made 39.5 Billion on Iraq War

LOL, liberals still buying into that lie. Halliburton is not Cheney's. Halliburton has been getting billion dollar contracts from the government long before Bush was in office. If Halliburton didn't get the contract, you'd be complaining about next company that is providing support to our troops overseas.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

I don't give a fuck if this guy is/was politically correct. If this is on his resume, then hooray for the good guys:

Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle's pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and turns him into a legend. Back home to his wife and kids after four tours of duty, however, Chris finds that it is the war he can't leave behind.

Good thinking.
Why should tax payers subsidize the investor class by paying private for-profit corporations to provide support at price levels far higher than when performed by our troops?

I don't give a fuck if this guy is/was politically correct. If this is on his resume, then hooray for the good guys:

Do you care if this guy was a war criminal?

Its true hell never make it as a social worker, as a generalization there are certain personality types that make up snipers, top fighter pilots, special forces etc.., probably they are going to have characteristics that you may not like

What about characteristics like Christian Dominionism?
"Weinstein noted that the embrace of extreme right-wing Christian chauvinism, or Dominionism, which calls for the creation of a theocratic 'Christian' America, is especially acute among elite units such as the SEALs and the Army Special Forces."
Kyle tattooed blood-red Crusader Crosses on his arms while killing Muslim civilians; some would say he was engaged in jihad.

True....but only communist shitstains, occutards, and perpetually outraged c--ts...

Your jealousy of those who get up and do is also as obvious as the nose on the face of Loony Nutty's avatar. Your insistence that they must share their wealth with you is typical of whiny, sniveling socialists.

I suspect we're talking about two different sets of "they." The US tax structure places successful small business owners earning $400,000 a year in the same bracket as parasites earning ten or twenty times that much by shipping US middle class jobs to China.

On a global scale...

"The world's wealthiest people aren't known for travelling by bus, but if they fancied a change of scene then the richest 85 people on the globe – who between them control as much wealth as the poorest half of the global population put together – could squeeze onto a single double-decker.

"The extent to which so much global wealth has become corralled by a virtual handful of the so-called 'global elite' is exposed in a new report from Oxfam on Monday. It warned that those richest 85 people across the globe share a combined wealth of £1tn, as much as the poorest 3.5 billion of the world's population."

It isn't jealousy that's required to observe the threat to democracy posed by parasites like those elite 85, and I don't understand why you conflate their worth to society with productive small business owners working 70-80 hours every week for less than half-a-million dollars a year?
