re: American Sniper is FANTASTIC!!!

I have yet to see Sniper but I am disheartened about the comments I am reading about Lone Survivor...how in the actual frick can anybody here that wasn't a SEAL in Afghanistan say anything about the way that the scenario was depicted...Lone Survivor nor any of these other similar movies should not be judged in normal Hollywood fashion...the intent of all of these movies is to show the American people what the hell was going on over there from the eyes of those who served, not the fricking media...trying to determine if something based in truth is Oscar worthy minimalizes the actual events imho...let's go easy on saying something was shite or wasn't shite when it comes to movie renditions of non fiction memoirs from those that were there...and gave everything....feel free to speak up if you were there BTW...I have a dear friend who was on the "other" helo that went in to get those guys in Afghanistan but had to leave them cause it was too hot...he can hardly talk about what it was like to know they were in there dying and they couldn't be extracted...he tears up...that's real...and talking shite about whether or not the decisions they made were right or wrong because you didn't necessarily enjoy it form a movie goer perspective is fricked up..
