@rezaaslan Blind Patriotism itself is dumb,

@rezaaslan dumb fans equally.

@rezaaslan Too many people missing the true point of the movie and KYLE'S book. He tells HIS accounts of his experiences.

Cc @aipsun RT @rezaaslan: 'American Sniper' Is Almost Too Dumb to Criticize http://rol.st/1J9qWD4 

@rezaaslan True. It is lowbrow so redneck murica patriots can releate to it. Just a piss pot that they can put in their outhouses.

@rezaaslan People love to worship, it's the lowest common denominator.

@rezaaslan haven't seen it yet. Is it that bad? If so, why?

@rezaaslan Im with @SailorGoodspeed article is dumb. Dude decries "non political" tag of AS then tags Forrest Gump politicallly! #STOOPID

@rezaaslan haven't seen it yet.

@rezaaslan Ain't it just a real life story?

@rezaaslan good article

@rezaaslan War is addictive. Adrenaline is addictive. US veterans love that rush that we end up wanting more. Which is dangerous?

@rezaaslan Just like any high it clouds judgement. Which leads to events being ingrained into your memory. PTSD is really the main subject

@rezaaslan everyone is entitled to an opinion. No one truly will understand if they weren't there. The movie is for entertainment not facts.

@rezaaslan I heard you lose braincells if you even mention the name of it... I like my braincells just the way they are haha

@rezaaslan Also insert the reporters who will write on these topics to veer the reader not to extremes but on course to make sense of what?

@rezaaslan Then don't go see it. I haven't, and I didn't experience any untoward events.
