Two Excellent Articles By Veterans About "American Sniper"

Both on Alternet:

• I'm a Veteran and ‘American Sniper’ Is Filled With Lies
  
• “The Truth Is Unspeakable”: A Real American Sniper Unloads on “American Sniper”
  

And let me emphasize something at the end of the first one: This isn't about Chris Kyle.

Let’s talk about [Bradley] Cooper and [screenwriter Jason] Hall, and the culture industry that recycles propagandistic fiction under the guise of a “true story.” And let’s focus our anger and our organizing against the authorities and the institutions that craft the lies that the Chris Kyles of the world believe, that have created a trail of blowback leading from dumb war to dumb war, and that have sent 2.5 million veterans to fight a “war on terror” that persists in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and Pakistan.
