I agree, but those men and women who served our country, the ones who died and were seriously injured, volunteered of their own free will to join the United States Military to serve their country, no matter what the cost. They wrote a blank check at the cost of their lives.
Our veterans don't deserve ANY of what Michael Moore is spewing, and they certainly deserve better then what they are receiving for benefits.

I think he's mostly right, personally. I could understand why some vets may take offense to his statements, but he's right that at the end of the day the war in Iraq was pointless, should never have happened and more of our boys would be alive today if it hadn't.
So you guys all loved Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in American Sniper? Which part did you like the most, when he shot the SEAL in that building and he choked on his blood or when he shot and blinded the guy who later died after proposing to his girlfriend?
Or is it just American snipers that are great an Iraqi ones are actually cowards?
I don't hate American troops, I just find the glorification of them and the wars they are in distasteful. It's very sad when American soldiers die, but it's just as sad, maybe more so, since the US was actually invading a foreign country, when Iraqis die.
At any rate I don't agree with Moore that snipers are cowards, or conversely heroes, on the other hand I can understand the emotional reaction of someone whose family member was killed by one.

Agreed. Admittedly, he comes off as a bit of an ass hole in how he says it.
