I just finished watching American Sniper. I was quite surprised that it is not the "ra rah AMERICA fuck yeah!" type movie that I was sort of expecting. It actually covers the darker side of the military experience to a certain degree. It also portrays Kyle as a human being with shortcomings and frailties who was also damaged from his experience in Iraq.

I am actually surprised that the movie did not cover the lies that Kyle allegedly told (killing car jackers, killing looters at Katrina, and punching Jessie Ventura). Because even if we assume Kyle really lied about doing those things, telling those lies fits within this movie as it shows that Kyle was ultimately human.
