Expect this when you call an American Sniper a coward

Green Beret Sniper Bryan Sikes hilariously slams ‘cupcake’ Michael Moore for calling American Sniper, Chris Kyle, a coward.

Mr. Moore-
Good afternoon there sweetheart, I hope this finds you alive and well. You can thank our men and women of the armed forces for that, by the way, and that also includes us cowardly snipers. It seems you’ve found time between licking the jelly off your fingers and releasing your grasp of a bear claw to tweet some junk about snipers being cowards.
My buddies and I got a good laugh over the tweet, so I thank you. For a guy worth $50 million, you sure have quite a bit to bitch and cry about. I guess like a moth to flame, you too gravitate towards things that are popular and in the moment — in this case it’s snipers. Too bad for you that your attempt at being relevant via your 70+ year old family experience has failed. It has only made you look dumber than a bag of hammers. Next time you should try something more original than going after snipers for one reason or another…that was so last month.
It’s typical of “men” like you to criticize the intestinal fortitude, focus, discipline and patriotism of a sniper. It must stem from an inferiority complex or something. But hey, it’s okay cupcake. We snipers are thick skinned and the efforts of world class turds such as yourself to portray us in a negative light only makes us laugh. If you and I were in the same room, I’d throw you a smile and gently pat you on the head knowing you’re nothing more than a mouth breathing, Crisco sweating waste of space not even worthy of being in the presence of a sniper. It’s almost funny how people like you preach things like ‘acceptance’ and ‘not passing judgment’ or ‘labeling people’, but then are the first to do so when a person is in some way dissimilar from you.
So tenderfoot, I leave you with this final thought: what if you found yourself in some sort of hostage situation where you were held at knife-point by some crazed person and they were dead set on making an example of you by bleeding you out on Hollywood Blvd in front of the world, and the only way out was with the precision aimed fire of a sniper? Would you want that coward to take the shot? Because knowing how you feel about snipers such as myself and your hatred of firearms, I’d probably drop the mag, roll the bolt and go get a Jack & Coke before helping you out.
Very Respectfully,
Sikes

I'm pretty sure the elites like Moore, worth $50M, are promoting higher taxes, so they can support these "cowards" and the lifestyle they have provided...

...Hollywood promotes gun violence every day. So, I think this has more to do with the director of the film and his empty chair comments.

Or, it could be that it is because Kyle was friends with Palin.

They don't say a word about drive by shootings and innocent victims or robberies or car jackings. These must be acceptable to people like Moore.

He goes after a hero. What kind of man is he? We all know.

Compare a sniper to a drone kill. Sniper is much less likely to have non target casualties at the peril of the sniper. Coward? Moore must not know what that word means.

I watched the movie on the weekend. It's good, but I wonder about the accuracy, in regards to the number of kills.

First, Iraq was a target rich environment...snipers in a jungle can not compete, when it comes to numbers.

Second, it could be argued that Kyle is a proven liar...


I wasn't impressed with the US Military promoting Kyle as a hero, when he was still in theatre. In only increased the size of target on his back.

But, I guess instilling fear in the enemy in war has it's place. When it comes to the "promotion of skills", when an operator is still in theatre, it makes you wonder about the accuracy of the details, portrayed in the movie.

Whatever.
I haven't seen it yet. Theatre seats are all sold out when we have tried
to see it. Locally they have decided to run it in two theaters in one building in order to accommodate those that want to see it. Everyone that has gone has said there is dead silence during the movie and as people leave the building. Nice to know there are many Americans left who revere the military and the families of military members.

You will no doubt respect the sacrifices they make, watching this movie, I did. All I am saying...is like any other movie, it is a "glorified" peek...with an American "spin"

we saw it in Yuma Az, with a bunch of Marines, then we took our kids to it the other night, as we saw a different movie... both times as people left, just utter silence. the comment I heard the most was, "it was like leaving a funeral" excellent movie.

This movie is on track to be the biggest box office movie of ALL TIME!! Maybe in part because of the disdain from liberals.

I have no military expertise. But logic tells me that an enemy sneaking up is not "out of range" when out of eyesight. Kyle can eliminate the element of surprise to a large degree. Outside of going after targets.
