Michael Moore slams Chris Kyle as a coward

http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/moorekyle.asp

Michael Moore shakes things up again.

The film “American Sniper,” just released about the late Navy SEAL Sniper
Chris Kyle, is breaking box office records. Michael Moore decided to voice
his opinion about the film and its hype.
Here is what Mr. Moore tweeted to all of his followers: “My uncle killed
by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the
back. Snipers aren’t heroes. And invaders r worse”
tweet
Well… that pissed some people off.
Including this Green Beret who wrote him a letter.
Mr. Moore-
Good afternoon there sweetheart, I hope this finds you alive and well. You
can thank our men and women of the armed forces for that, by the way, and
that also includes us cowardly snipers. It seems you’ve found time between
licking the jelly off your fingers and releasing your grasp of a bear claw
to tweet some junk about snipers being cowards.
My buddies and I got a good laugh over the tweet, so I thank you. For a
guy worth $50 million dollars, you sure have quite a bit to bitch and cry
about. I guess like a moth to flame, you too gravitate towards things that
are popular and in the moment — in this case it’s snipers. Too bad for you
that your attempt at being relevant via your 70+ year old family
experience has failed. It has only made you look dumber than a bag of
hammers. Next time you should try something more original than going after
snipers for one reason or another…that was so last month.
It’s typical of “men” like you to criticize the intestinal fortitude,
focus, discipline and patriotism of a sniper. It must stem from an
inferiority complex or something. But hey, it’s okay cupcake. We snipers
are thick skinned and the efforts of world class turds such as yourself to
portray us in a negative light only makes us laugh. If you and I were in
the same room, I’d throw you a smile and gently pat you on the head
knowing you’re nothing more than a mouth breathing, Crisco sweating waste
of space not even worthy of being in the presence of a sniper. It’s almost
funny how people like you preach things like ‘acceptance’ and ‘not passing
judgement’ or ‘labeling people’, but then are the first to do so when a
person is in some way dissimilar from you.
So tenderfoot, I leave you with this final thought: what if you found
yourself in some sort of hostage situation where you were held at
knife-point by some crazed person and they were dead set on making an
example of you by bleeding you out on Hollywood Blvd in front of the
world, and the only way out was with the precision aimed fire of a sniper?
Would you want that coward to take the shot? Because knowing how you feel
about snipers such as myself and your hatred of firearms, I’d probably
drop the mag, roll the bolt and go get a Jack & Coke before helping you
out.
Very Respectfully,
Sikes
I couldn’t have said that better myself.
Well put Sikes, and God bless our service members.

Agree 100%. No one who ventures alone close to enemy forces
as a primary part of his job, and takes out individuals by
selective fire, is a "coward". Maybe Moore prefers area
weapons - the NBC (or CBR) trilogy, delivered at long range.
Or maybe he's just an idiot...
