   Killing Ragheads for Jesus: American Sniper

"But there is nothing honorable or heroic about anything Chris Kyle did in Iraq. He defended no American’s freedoms. He didn’t fight “over there” so no American would have to fight “over here.” Soldiers who kill for the state in unjust wars are murderers, not heroes. As Future of Freedom Foundation president and Army veteran Jacob Hornberger recently wrote: “Since the U.S. government was the aggressor in the war on Iraq, that means that no U.S. soldier had the moral authority to kill even one single Iraqi. Every single soldier who killed an Iraqi or who even participated in the enterprise was guilty of murder in a moral, religious, and spiritual sense.”

Bull Shit.

Iraq was considered a just war by everyone. The only reason it became unjust is because the Democrats decided that they weren't gonna win another election in the near future unless they turned the public against the war.

Hilary was for the war before she was against it. LOL.

So? That mindset is what defeats violent enemies. Why would the warrior culture embrace anything else?

Sounds more like the mindset of a slave without the slightest concern for international law or morality. Anyone who participated in the US invasion/occupation of Iraq is a war criminal, to one degree or another.

Yeah...because the 9-11 murderers cared about international law.

International Law??? Some liberal jibberish. The nation with the most warriors and resources make law. Has been true for 10, 000 years.

Be specific, what International law did we and our coalition violate? Then point out where in anyone in a position of authority is pressing the charge anywhere?

The UN Charter provides only two options for a legitimate war: self-defense from an imminent threat or UNSC authorization and the US had neither.

They always have a fit when Conservative films or anything else Conservative does better than theirs.
American Sniper box office sales tops $200 million.

f there was ever a time, previously, where the left was reduced to foaming at the mouth over one man in one movie I'd sure like to be reminded of it.

This shit is getting WAY outta hand

Do you think the left would be reacting differently if Kyle was still alive and defending himself on Fox?

Then we'd have the double pleasure of Hate Kyle threads and even MORE Hate Fox threads

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.

I think Hollywood is doing a movie for you democrats to give you equal time "Taliban Suicide Bomber" is bound to uplift you and make you feel pride for what you support!

 

[georgephillip]

Iraq had nothing to do with 911.
That would be our allies, the Saudi royals.
International law would be much more useful if the greatest purveyor of violence in the world would abide by its principles.

Progs can't get it through their heads that there really isn't any "international law" because there is no one with authority to enforce laws globally. No nation has that right, and the UN is just a collection of useless nations that vote on whatever they feel like that day. That isn't constitutional law being practiced, it's just meaningless lynch mob threats. A lynch mob that doesn't even have pitchforks or rope.

Actually, I don't support terror from any side, unlike those who flap Ol' Gory every time the US culls the herd of "lesser breeds."

Oh now, don't be shy - you of the left need to express your pride in you Al Qaeda partners and the great work they do in fighting back the American way of life.

 

[georgephillip]

Poor progressive turds are worried about this support for such a movie. All that anti-war, anti-American crap just isn't sticking.

Hitler figured out the value of big-budget propaganda epics long before Clint did. Maybe progressives are smart enough to recognize a "tawdry commercial for the crimes of empire" when they see one?

Have you finished filleting your dog yet?

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Chris hedges... Lol. Stories for adolescent retards...

Mr Kyles only problem was he didnt kill enough jihadist ragheads.

 

[georgephillip]

There is nothing "illegal" about any of our wars, you just don't like them because they do not support the progressive agenda is all.

With the exception of Korea, every war since the end of WWII has been a war of choice for the US. Those conflicts have cost all Americans

Mr Kyles only problem was he didnt kill enough jihadist ragheads.

Right on cue, Simple
"There is no shortage of simpletons whose minds are warped by this belief system. We elected one of them, George W. Bush, as president. They populate the armed forces and the Christian right. They watch Fox News and believe it. They have little understanding or curiosity about the world outside their insular communities. They are proud of their ignorance and anti-intellectualism. They prefer drinking beer and watching football to reading a book."

[georgephillip]

By that standard. ..the American Civil War was illegal and a war of agaggression. Even though it freed millions of people

Are you saying the secession of the Confederate states was legal?

 

[Darkwind]

I don't think I've ever met a person as brainwashed as the OP. What has been done to him to give him this view of the world is downright evil.

 

[georgephillip]

f the United States became an evil slave state that massacred women and children and gays and was planning mass killings of innocent people....id hope some other country would stop us.

Are you referring to Iraq or Saudi Arabia?

 

[LogikAndReazon]

And to think Kyle could have been enlightening his mind with the degenerative likes of Zinn, Chomsky and Marx....
