American Sniper

Haven't seen it; the boss said "no"; din't seem like her kinda movie. I'll probably rent it at some point when she's away for the weekend on a girl's weekend.

Havent seen it yet, looking forward to it.  I've heard from several people who have seen it that at the end of the movie, nobody leaves for the credits and the entire theater is silent, no talking even on the way out.

I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. That's all I have to say for now.

Have not seen it, but read the book prior to Chris' passing.  Plan on going.

He did a job that has to be done at times, and had the skill set to do it well.

I agree with DD on the ones tearing it down, they have no idea of what service is like, and that I would gladly take up the colors again if asked. 

I can only hope the Moore has space reserved in the same warm room as Fonda, who I will never forgive.

Haven't seem it yet, but from all the comments being made about it in the media, I am definitely gonna see it. I was planning on seeing it anyway, due to it being one of Clint's babies.

I can tell you one thing, though - most (if not all) of the negative comments are coming from people who have never been in combat OR the military. Contrary to popular belief, us military types who have trained for combat KNOW what we're gonna face if we have to go, and we do not want to go to war unless we absolutely have to. All the non-military types who think that we love war, that we just have this over-whelming urge to be in battle, have got it all wrong. I have trained for war, and have been in a combat zone (1st Persian Gulf war), but have never seen combat (thank goodness). But, I would still go if I was needed. I would go to help defend this great nation that we live in, and to keep it great. And all of my fellow Marines, soldiers, sailors, Coast Guardsmen, and airmen, I think, would whole-heartedly agree with me on that.

Rant is over. Hope I didn't get the thread locked for that........
