I have seen plenty of opinions and reviews of the latest Clint Eastwood movie American Sniper. All polarized along the same political lines and rhetoric. This one I think was a pretty good opinion and offered an excellent bit of advice for all of us.

My war was completely different than Chris Kyle’s war. That doesn’t mean his war is wrong, and mine was right. But it does mean that no one experience is definitive...
If you really want to be a patriotic American, keep both eyes open and maintain 360 degrees of awareness. Don’t simply watch “American Sniper.” Read other sources, watch other films about the conflict. Talk to as many veterans as you can, get a full perspective on the war experience and the consequences. Ensure the perceived enemy in your vision is what it seems
