Marine’s Response to Critics of ‘American Sniper’ is 1,851 Words. It’s Worth It to Read Each One!
In a biting blog post on OAFNation.com, an apparent military veteran issued a definitive response to critics of “American Sniper,” the hit movie based on legendary Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle’s autobiography of the same name. Basically, the veteran asserted that those who have attacked Kyle and the film are completely missing the point.
The author, who signed the post “Grifter,” first praised “American Sniper” because it “finally depicts WHY coming home is the hardest part for most of us.” For him, portraying the reality of how coming home is “almost impossible” for combat veterans is the most significant message in the movie, and one that is being overlooked by many.
Grifter is reportedly a Marine Corps veteran and has served in the special operations community, requiring him to maintain anonymity. The post on OAFNation.com is titled, “American Sniper: The Voice of Veterans.”

Grifter also had strong words for Vox’s Amanda Taub, who accused the movie of “rewriting American history” by not getting into the politics of the Iraq War. He continued:
However, I read a piece by Amanda Taub (just google it if you care to) in which she bashes the film and accuses it of “rewriting American history.” Her point of contention was that the film was too black and white for her tastes. She calls the war in Iraq a grey area, which I agree. I also agree with her disdain at the treatment of the conventional troops in the film as cannon fodder or inferior to the SEALS in importance. However, she smashes on Eastwood’s flick by calling into question the lack of mention of G.W. Bush, WMD, or Saddam Hussein. She accuses the movie of inventing fictional characters for Kyle to fight. I’m taking this as she is mad the movie didn’t take a political stance or mention any of the media hype, hot buttons, or buzzwords normally associated with the war in Iraq.
My answer to that: Yeah, no s**t.
The film wasn’t about any of that because for US, the war wasn’t about any of that. Do you think any of us gave a f**k about Saddam Hussein, WMD, Bush, Cheney, or any of that s**t that was being ejaculated by the news? The film wasn’t about grey areas, because to us it didn’t matter. All that mattered to us was the guy to our left, and the guy to our right…and especially the guy that still had a can of Skoal. It wasn’t that we were willfully ignorant of the issues surrounding the Iraq, or that we were in denial, but when your finger is on a trigger, when you’re face is covered in your friends’ brain matter, you aren’t thinking about “good and evil” or “grey areas.”
That is the entire point this civil rights attorney misses, the film was about a man on the ground and the struggle to come home with a head full of grief and regret, not the Iraq war itself.
The reason the movie doesn’t take a political stance because the film isn’t political, he said. “Yes, it mentioned 9/11, but it didn’t tie it to Iraq. It tied it to Kyle the way it was tied to all of us. 9/11 signaled to a generation that we are not safe, that there ARE people out there that want to kill us, on our own soil,” the author added. “Yet, here is the left, all up in arms about a movie about one man’s struggle in a war. They create paper tigers to go after in order to blackball these movies into oblivion. They refuse to see the good in this film as it pertains to veterans, because they don’t care about veterans.”

The veteran then delivered a parting message to those who saw the movie as “more of a ‘pro Bush/Iraq/Right Wing/anti-Muslim’ political statement and want to bash it and our military.”
“The movie wasn’t for you,” he concluded. “It was for the guy with mud on his boots and a hole in his heart, and for the families that are left to pick up the pieces. Go back to your latte.”

“This city is haunted by ghosts from broken homes.“ -Alexisonfire
Well, it’s a new year. Welcome to 2015. This is the year we were supposed to have flying cars and hover boards. Color me disappointed. However, what 2015 HAS given us is a voice. I say this because I just saw American Sniper yesterday. I’m not going to get into Chris Kyle as a man. I never had the privilege of knowing him. I have a few friends that operated with him, and had nothing but great things to say about him.
I’m not going to sit and bitch about any Hollywood inconstancies that arise when flash and pomp take precedence over authenticity. I am, however, going to talk about the precedence this film set for veterans and the direction I’m hoping the population of this country will take.
American Sniper, though being marketed as a hero movie, goes far beyond that. It isn’t an action movie. Yes, there IS action in the film; but it’s not the sole focus. I can see a lot of people leaving the movie disappointed because there wasn’t as much running and gunning as in say, Act of Valor or Lone Survivor.
What the movie accomplishes, for me and for US is that it finally depicts WHY coming home is the hardest part for most of us. So many movies in Hollywood either touch briefly on the subject, but miss the mark. The Hurt Locker, love it or hate it, has a very poignant scene in the grocery store where Renner’s character has returned from a tour in Iraq and life seems mundane and boring compared to the excitement and rush of defusing bombs.
The premise is botched in that, most veteran’s aren’t missing the experience because they’re bored and need an adrenaline rush; they miss their brothers and that bond that frankly WILL NEVER be experienced here at home. THAT is the drug for which most of us are fiending. The flipside is the movie Brothers. The movie portrays Tobey Maguire’s character, a TBI inflicted Iraq war veteran, as a time bomb full of rage and insecurities. He lashes our violently against his brother, who didn’t serve and his wife who developed feelings for his brother.
The movie rubbed me the wrong way in that, yeah the guy got pissed, but not all of us pull a gun out and start getting all stupid with it. The end of the movie was very condescending, I felt. It said to me, “be careful around these crazy dudes, they’ll lose their minds over perception.” All it did was reaffirm the stigma that we as a community are trying to distance ourselves from.
American Sniper portrayed Chris Kyle as a guy trying to do the best he could in shitty situations, doing what he had to in order to protect American lives. It highlighted perfectly that coming home is almost impossible. There’s always an urge to go back and keep working, not for fortune or glory, but for each other.
The way I always thought was, “if I don’t go, who will?” I couldn’t bear the thought of some 18-19 year old kid taking my perceived place in the long line of casualties. American Sniper showed the anguish at the bureaucracy of the Iraq war and the tough decisions that had to be made and later scrutinized by someone at home on the couch. He even said, “We’re at war, and I’m going to the mall.” It accurately shows the disillusionment of returning to a country that isn’t engaged in any capacity with what’s going on with their troops. It captures the essence of what it’s like to come home and try to assimilate into a society that is oblivious.
It’s most powerful statement was that it clearly shows the absolutely bitter loneliness a vet can experience coming home. I don’t mean loneliness as is synonymous with solitude. Kyle was surrounded by family and loved ones. He had reasons to celebrate his life, his wife and his babies. Yet, he still felt a void. He had the support structure of a family that needed him, yet he couldn’t relish in the love they gave. He could not sit back and enjoy being home, due to the longing for his brothers and a crippling grief for the men he could not keep from harm. These feelings, as I type them, could seem so trivial to a civilian reading this.
“Guilt” and “loneliness” are emotions people go thru daily, yet no one is making a movie about them. That is the separation in our generation, even our emotions, though labeled the same, are so very different from the average straight. I’m sure there are doctors that grieve over losing a patient. However, that patient probably wasn’t their best friend.
I’m sure people experience loneliness because they’re by themselves a lot, but true loneliness comes from being surrounded by your loved ones and still feeling alone. This is the strength of the movie and what lends itself to us as veterans and our struggle to find our place in the world. This resonates with us, and hopefully opens the eyes of the general public as to what we feel every day.
That’s the first direction I’m hoping the country will go. It’s sad that I live in a country where the only way to truly reach the members of society isn’t through literature or research, but with pop culture. But, them’s the breaks. The optimist in me says that people will have at the very least, a better insight into WHY we feel the way we do. It’s not always nightmares and outrage, sometimes, most of the time, it’s a silent suffering. It doesn’t stem from a need for adrenaline or bloodlust. It stems from a desire for a purpose that is bigger than ourselves - our yearning to be around people we would literally die for, no questions asked and a regretful grief for living when others whom we deem more worthy, died. We analyze and dissect every decision and action we made, wondering if we could have made a difference. Not a difference in foreign policy or winning a war single-handedly, but the difference between you coming home to an empty barracks room or your buddy coming home to his wife and kids.
The pessimist in me is starting to notice the seeds of a trend being sown. It’s that bashing our military, or at the very least, being anti-military is going to become “cool” again. I’m not going to comment on Rogen or Moore’s idiotic comments about American Sniper. I was once a Rogen fan and always thought he was more discerning than most in Hollywood, and Moore is irrelevant now, both as a film maker and a human being. Bush isn’t in office, therefore he lacks a villain at which to point fat, sausage-esque finger. The reviews are all over the place and a striking majority are calling the film pro-war and anti-Muslim...
However, I read a piece by Amanda Taub (just google it if you care to) in which she bashes the film and accuses it of “rewriting American history.” Her point of contention was that the film was too black and white for her tastes. She calls the war in Iraq a grey area, which I agree. I also agree with her disdain at the treatment of the conventional troops in the film as cannon fodder or inferior to the SEALS in importance. However, she smashes on Eastwood’s flick by calling into question the lack of mention of G.W. Bush, WMD, or Saddam Hussein. She accuses the movie of inventing fictional characters for Kyle to fight. I’m taking this as she is mad the movie didn’t take a political stance or mention any of the media hype, hot buttons, or buzzwords normally associated with the war in Iraq.
My answer to that: Yeah, no shit.
The film wasn’t about any of that because, for US, the war wasn’t about any of that. Do you think any of us gave a fuck about Saddam Hussein, WMD, Bush, Cheney, or any of that shit that was being ejaculated by the news? The film wasn’t about grey areas because to us it didn’t matter.

It tied it to Kyle the way it was tied to all of us. 9/11 signaled to a generation that we are not safe, that there ARE people out there that want to kill us, on our own soil. Yet, here is the left, all up in arms about a movie about one man’s struggle in a war.
They create paper tigers to go after in order to blackball these movies into oblivion. They refuse to see the good in this film as it pertains to veterans, because they don’t care about veterans.
I fear the plaid shirt, hash-tagging, trust-fund protestors are going to start coming out of the woodwork. The people who have kept their mouths shut because the war was still ongoing, are going to come forward and start openly bashing on us. The war is “officially” over and, as a country, we are no longer engaged in combating terrorism with any sort of genuine commitment. That allows the dissenters to come out of their holes now that it’s less likely someone is going to say “Dude, my brother/ husband/dad is over there right now.” Because, at the end of the day, they still don’t want to offend the “victims” of veteran’s decisions, only the vets themselves.
To the people that saw the movie for what it was, it was a glimpse into our world. It offered up our collective hearts to you in a manner a typical, movie-going civilian would understand. That is powerful and, hopefully, opens a broader dialogue about our struggle to really come home. This is what we’re thinking and why we’re still fighting. As far as our silent war goes, this movie got it right.
To those that saw it as more “pro Bush/Iraq/ Right Wing/anti-Muslim” political statement and wants to bash it and our military, I say this:
The movie wasn’t for you. It was for the guy with mud on his boots and a hole in his heart, and for the families that are left to pick up the pieces. Go back to your latte.

This was not a war. THIS WAS AN UNLAWFUL INVASION. Only congress can give American soldiers the constitutional authority to fire on people and places under an act of war, This guy Kyle had to be a mental case to go a total of four times. To kill human beings who had nothing to do with 9/11 and had the right to defend their sovereign nation. Holly Wood is twisting the truth about this guy to produce war porn for the criminals that did 9/11 and lied about W.M.Ds. This is recruiting porn for the younger crazies who want to kill out of a misplaced sense of patriotism are just want to kill without being hung or going to mail. Kile was a liar and a tool of the powers that be.Some of his lies were exposed in court where his estate lost a million plus law suit. Any one that even pays to go see this crap needs a lobotomy. With all the truth out there and all the time to find it there are no excuses.
The movie was for the real americans that support our troops,not for the commie bastards that eat socialism everyday and support the dictator we have taken away our freedoms and growing government bigger by the minute to bankcrupt the country.It was for Americans that stand for the constitution .I think the people that didnt like it should go live in iraq or cuba or whatever socialist country they want then maybe they will be wishing for someone like chris kyle and the seals to come to their aid.and you miss the point, After, he fought when he came home to get his head screwed on straight only to be killed by someone he was trying to help in our own country. It showed a glimpse of what the men go through that are over there battling kids and women that want to kill them you dont know who is your enemy its not apparent,Chris' job as a sniper saved many lives of our men on the ground .If you have to complain about something how about the way the VA hospitals have been run ,if that doesnt bother your not american and probably should be living here
With the exception of a few, Pat Tillman, It seems lost on most that our solders are killing in the name of false flags. The guy who mentions 9/11 and then moves on, is clearly asleep or a sheep works as well.
Sadly we as a society would rather forget about that. False flags?, don't want to know! Hey Eastwood has a bitchin war movie out, let's check it out after Football!!! Grab me a diet coke.
Nothing like kicking back watching some guy who's invading another country, shoot women, children, "the terrorists" who are defending themselves against invasion based on lies and conspiracy. Sheeet he's doing it from a mile away! Couldn't be more american.
Afterwards we are entertained seeing the DU and PTSD eat away what's left of his soul and brain for all the killing and death he was part of while invading Iraq. Damn, the HERO was just killing "enemy combatants" because it was the "right thing to do"! Bring the kids, its educational!
Forget that all this death, PTSD, dismemberment, murder, physical and emotional destruction was based on lies. Don't go there! Your going to ruin the movie review!
Naw let's focus on the human emotions going through this poor mans troubled return after killing all those women and children. Cause screw them they were trying to kill his buddies, who were yep you guessed it, killing and invading in the name of (cover your ears!) Lies.
So when I see these articles about the latest PSTD related movie and how people are debating weather or not this murderers life's story is treated with respect because he was murdered by a fellow murderer. I write emails.
So Freedom if you could pass this on to Olive Oyl. Your site won't allow my smartphone to comment.
I get tired of reading about things that are not based in reality. The war on terror is a lie. More then likely this American Sniper was suisided because he was getting too popular and would have perhaps written a book on how its a based on lies. ? 
I forgot to direct this reply to Jason Howerton
To those commenting regarding the 'American Sniper' post: Let me preface by saying that I did NOT author this post, nor did any of our web bloggers. Only in a rare occasion might an article be authored by one of us and posted. This is NOT one of those times. You can write your comments, but please understand I am NOT the author and your argument is NOT with me personally.
Most of my posts are selected simply to correlate to current events. In the case of American Sniper, Americans love movies and American Sniper is definitely a current controversial subject of interest, both positive and negative. Having posted that article does not in any way indicate my personal endorsement or this websites of the movie or its message. As relates to what has been stated in comments - I couldn't agree more with some of the comments. Personally, I am totally against the actions that have been taken in the name of Americans by the USA military through the years. Those who attend officers candidate school and those who enlist I believe for the most part have no idea what they are getting in to. Jobs are scarce, and newly graduated students can't find jobs, so the military attracts them with promises of paid college educations, health benefits, retirement, etc. The sales pitch does NOT indicate reality nor project an honest picture of what these recruits will be dealing with, and this is experienced only as they are expected to obey orders - many of which they are in total disagreement. Most have family and friends back home and pets, and the orders to kill and pillage bring back thoughts of their own families and 'what if' this was to happen to them. I believe that if most Americans were actually interested in and informed enough to know that this is NOT 'our' military but that of the NWO / NATO and, as such, its goal is to invade sovereign nations, steal their wealth and cull the populations on behalf of the so called world 'elitists', Americans would rise up with strong objections as most people do NOT want wars nor others to suffer at the 'hands' of the American people. Our nation has been historically recognized for many years as being one of the very first to respond to those in need, extending love, caring and generosity worldwide to those in need, and what is happening with the USA military does NOT match the hearts and intents of the majority of the American people. If there truly is a 'good' US military segment, it is well hidden as it is surely NOT evident nor demonstrated any attempt to correct the situation. Personally, my heart grieves at the reported actions of those in our military against the innocents in other nations. NESARA News Blogspot firmly believes in your Frist Amendment right to free speech. We try to practice this in the selection of various articles posted. Just because something is posted on the site does not mean that any one or all of us support the content of that article. If you have an article you would like to have posted, you can feel free to submit it for consideration. Thank you, Steve, for taking time to write and to express your opinions. We appreciate this, and we appreciate your readership. God bless you and yours, OliveOyl
Grifter apparently you know nothing of constitutional or international law. This guy was a war criminal also every other merc. (that's what they are and were) that was and is there. This move takes a criminal and tries to make it look as though he's a suffering soul that deserves our sympathy. War Porn. I think I'll make a movie about Jeffery Doumer and show the pain he went through. I'm sure you would like that if I put a uniform on him. If he had come home after his first tour and suffered ptsd that would at least say he was just fooled and forced to do the terrible things he did. To go back three more times means he liked it. For you to make the comments you made at the end of your article shows a lot about you.
