To All Veterans

[Mr. OOC]

Current soldiers, former soldiers, doesn't matter. To all of you, I want to say thanks for your service. Without you we wouldn't be here.

I just got back from seeing American Sniper. That movie brought me to tears. Only two movies have ever done that. This one and Act of Valor. Eastwood and Cooper do an amazing job.

Thank you for serving.

 

[Marcus]

You should see Gladiator then.

I want to thank veterans too. They are lucky to serve the country.

 

[RC 212]

You welcome!

 

[Mr. OOC]

I've seen Gladiator. Didn't make me cry.

 

[Rianna Organa]

When We were soldiers is a good movie. As well as Ghost soldiers

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

I've decided to go see American Sniper, simply for all the liberal tears it's creating. Liberals are literally getting their jimmies wrecked over this movie.

But even though I'm in it for the lulz, I do generally enjoy Clint Eastwood as a director.

 

[Mariya Pyne]

I've only cried for Act of Valor, and Saving Private Ryan (During the Normandy gravesite scene with Ryan as an old man. The power behind that scene kills me.)

 

[Jack Rand]

Iron Giant is the only movie I've ever cried for.

 

[Mariya Pyne]

Iron Giant is the only movie I've ever cried for.

That's precious. hahaha

 

[Reverance]

[member="Jack Rand"] Movie was straight up legit.

 

[Mr. OOC]

American Sniper was damn good as long as you remember that it is still a movie, and that some of it may not be truly accurate (the majority is).

 

[Mariya Pyne]

[member="Meric Nadun"] I've heard it was a good movie from quite a few people now. Perhaps when I dig out of this snowstorm I'll check it out.

 

[Mr. OOC]

If you cried in Act of Valor you will in American Sniper.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Iron Giant is the only movie I've ever cried for.

*Dabs eye.*

 

[Mariya Pyne]

Just remembered, I actually cried during Lilo & Stitch, when Stitch is sitting in the woods alone with the Ugly Duckling book, saying "I'm Lost." I just want to cuddle him.

Chris Kyle was a lying, self absorbed douchebag who didn't deserve the praise he got. He's a piss poor example of an American military man. I respect his service to my country, but god damn was he a lying, manipulative, embellishing jerk.

Its a pretty good movie and shows a lot of what we actually go through, war isn't glorious and glamorous. Its brutal and it destroys, those of you who have known me for a while know i have ptsd and its not easy.

If you really want your mind blown watch this, shows some sad stats and details

[member="Preliat Mantis"] He lied about some stuff and embelished a bit, such as Ventura. But not much about his service was fictional, the dude had an insane kill count, probably saved more lives then can be counted and dedicated his life to helping other veterans with PTSD so i wouldn't say he was a douche or anything. The guy died doing what even less people do then actually serve, helping those f'd up from their service.

Isn't this meant to be a thread for respect? Not giving your opinion on slating someone.


Anyway, on topic. American Sniper was good, it really showed how the army and PTSD can affect people. I shed a tear.

Yeah... this isn't cool. GTFO. His kills and the shit he went through are real.
