DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nSince American Sniper is about a real person in a recent war, I 
 find it to be an interesting commentary on Americans. For me, American 
 Sniper shows how an American can seamlessly morph from a cowboy to a 
 government trained mass murderer. Mass murder occurs on the average every 
 two weeks in the U.S. according to the FBI statistics, which makes it 
 rather ordinary despite being a heinous crime. Mass murder as defined by 
 the FBI is single incident where four or more people are killed. \n\n\nWhen 
 ordinary people are sent to other countries by the government to kill, 
 movies can make them into heroes. In the movie Chris Kyle was cool and 
 efficient mass murderer for the U.S. government. I consider any movie that 
 applauds mass murder to be an evil movie.\n\nDespite the apparent coolness 
 and efficiency of the Chris Kyles in the U.S. military, the U.S. lost an 
 unnecessary war in Iraq. Most Americans would like to forget the disaster 
 and the loses that was the Iraq war and ignore the current disaster that is 
 the war on the Islamic State. \n\nMany Americans would rather remember the 
 movie American Sniper. They would rather think about our brave heroes 
 fighting the other side which are portrayed as cruel savages. Iraq has 
 provided Americans a stage to demonstrate their superiority at least to 
 themselves. Many Americans don't want the facts, they want the legends and 
 myths!\n\n\nAmerican Sniper’s Celebration of Psychopathy \n\nAbby Martin 
 interviews independent journalist, Rania Khalek, about the film ‘American 
 Sniper’ and why it’s such a controversial choice to receive a Best 
 Picture Oscar nomination.\nPodcast source: YouTube: American Sniper’s 
 Patriot Porn & Celebration of Psychopathy. Interview with Rania 
 Khalek\n\n\n\nMyth Of Redemptive Violence\n\n\nKeith Giles offers his 
 viewpoint after watching the film, "American Sniper" and the slow death of 
 the myth of redemptive violence. Keith represents a viewpoint that we 
 seldom hear.\n\nKeith describes himself as teacher, author, copywriter, 
 activist, and servant of Jesus living in Orange County, California. Since 
 2006, he and his family have been part of a house church that gives away 
 100% of all offerings to the poor in their community. \nPodcast source: 
 [Subversive Radio Podcast] Review: American Sniper\nAmerican Sniper has 
 warped Americans\n\nAdam Kokesh does man on the street interviews. For the 
 record, this was not a selective group, or even in a particularly 
 conservative or pro-military area. The people were the first seven people 
 on the 3rd St Promenade in Santa Monica, California who answered yes to, 
 "Did you see American Sniper? Do you think Chris Kyle is a hero? Would you 
 like to do a quick interview for my YouTube channel?" Adam was seeking a 
 good age and gender variety.\n\nAdam Kokesh is an American libertarian talk 
 show host, activist, and author of FREEDOM! He is also a decorated veteran 
 of the War in Iraq. \nPodcast source: YouTube: American Sniper has warped 
 Americans' fragile little minds\nAdam Kokesh On Incarceration And Modern 
 War\n\nAdam Kokesh joins Gary Franchi to discuss what life is like as a 
 soldier in modern war, his activism in favor of gun rights, including his 
 civil disobedience in Washington that led to his arrest and how he was 
 received by his new audience behind bars. We get Adam's take on the latest 
 allegations that Edward Snowden was assisted by the Russian intelligence 
 agency\n\nAdam Kokesh joined the group Iraq Veterans Against the War in 
 2007. That same year, he was arrested for protesting the war outside the 
 Hart Senate office building. \n\nA decorated veteran of the War in Iraq, he 
 was arrested for loading a shotgun in front of the White House. He pleaded 
 guilty to firearms charges, and was sentenced to two years of probation.
