I only have time to post this, but I feel it needed, since Michael Moore just made a ass out of himself yet again:

‘They are cowards not heroes’: Michael Moore slams ‘military assassins’ as Oscar-tipped movie American Sniper storms box office

As ever, I say “Fuck you, Michael Moore, you anti-Patriot asshole!”

I have known military snipers (US Army Rangers) and they do have an important job in the military. That said, it’s important not to idolize and fetishize the job beyond that. Mr. Moore is being, at best, his usual hyperbolic ass self; that said, I’m not sure that unreserved praise is ever appropriate either. Until I learned it was Mr. Eastwood directing, I had no interest at all in the movie in question; he has the ability to see the shades of grey in military stories that few other movie makers have and that may give it a chance to be more nuanced than it would have first appears to be the case.
