So, I took my honey on a date last night and we went and saw American Sniper. She only agreed because she thinks Bradley Cooper is the sexiest man on the planet (other than me LOL), but I'll take what I can get.

All I can say is, wow.

I think the movie does a great job of not only providing a biography of Chris Kyle, but also showing what these men and women go through on tours in the Middle East. Even if it's 75% true life and 25% Hollywood, it's just amazing what these folks endure over there. Even more so in this movie, I think it shows the struggle that a lot of vets have with coming back home, leaving the battlefield behind, and getting back into a "normal life."

There were a lot of obvious Iraq/Afghanistan vets in our theater and they were cheering at a few points in the movie and hollering "Get Some!" and things like that. If they approved of the movie, I gotta believe it's pretty true to life.

I'm not ashamed to say that I had to wipe a couple of tears at the end. Powerful stuff.
