On one hand we have the greatest sniper in U.S. history, Chris Kyle:

On the other there’s effeminate d-nozzle Matt Taibbi:

Who do you think most Americans would want their sons to grow up being like?

Via Rolling Stone:

The really dangerous part of this film is that it turns into a referendum on the character of a single soldier. It’s an unwinnable argument in either direction. We end up talking about Chris Kyle and his dilemmas, and not about the Rumsfelds and Cheneys and other officials up the chain who put Kyle and his high-powered rifle on rooftops in Iraq and asked him to shoot women and children.

They’re the real villains in this movie, but the controversy has mostly been over just how much of a “hero” Chris Kyle really was….And plenty of other commentators, comparing Kyle’s book (where he remorselessly brags about killing “savages”) to the film (where he is portrayed as a more rounded figure who struggled, if not verbally then at least visually, with the nature of his work), have pointed out that real-life Kyle was kind of a dick compared to movie-Kyle.
