'In a macro sense, however, our invasion and occupation of Iraq was not a 'kill them or they will kill us' scenario. History has borne that fact out, and that lack of context makes 'American Sniper' a dangerous film.



'Dangerous because kids will sign up for the military because of this movie. Dangerous because our leaders have plans for those kids. Some will kill. Some will be killed. Or worse. There is no narrative existing outside the strict confines of 'American Sniper's' iron sights that allows for the war on terror to be over. It's like a broken record looping over and over: attack, blowback and attack. Repeat.'
