Veterans Are Calling For Michelle Obamas Head After She Did THIS American Sniper, Clint Eastwoods box office hit based on the story of American hero Chris Kyle, was an instant hit for many reasons, and its also been the source of immense controversy. In fact, one could argue that the reason the film received so much media attention was because it started a conversation among military veterans regarding the treatment they receive after war. This sparked a chain of celebrities, politicians and public figures weighing in with their own opinions on the subject. People generally see veterans one of two wayseither the broken, downtrodden vet who is homeless or on drugs or has such severe PTSD that he cant even function, Michelle stated at a Got Your 6 event. Or the saintly hero who lives with such courage and moral clarity that the only thing the rest of us can do is shower him with awe and amazement. And of course, its always a he. We sort of forget about the 1.5 million women veterans who have served in uniform. What do you think of Michelles comment? Was she taking a stab at the film? Do you support Eastwood and his portrayal of the American Sniper story?
