Some people can't handle watching movies about war.

Im confused. Am I supposed to know who these people are or are you just proclaiming you surprisingly found racism / trolls online?

You usually are, on this subject.

They are Twitter users. I didn't make this meme; it's been floating around the social networks...I'm sure you can verify the Tweets in question if you like. I took a look at the hashtag; this is hardly the standard for the rhetoric around the movie, but it's not entirely far from the standard either.

Are you offended by what I have to say about Kyle's legacy, kal? Particularly that the psychopathic dishonesty and violence in which he chose to live his life now looks likely to perpetuate hate crimes?

You may be more offended yet, then.

Kyle was a proven liar, who claimed he "beat up Jesse Ventura", claimed he shot dozens of looters during Katrina...even his publisher lied after his death, claiming $3 million of movie profits went to fallen servicemen (actual figure: $52k). This man was a disgrace to the uniform and Eastwood should be ashamed of elevating this kind of dishonesty into "heroism".

Uhh...what?

I am not offended or angry. Perhaps bemused at your desire to fight about everything. /shrug

I'm actually surprised! Maybe I don't give you enough credit.

If I have a desire to "fight about everything", kal, it is only in an attempt to try to help humankind end the real fights and wars.

Once again - I worked for a hedge fund with military-industrial connections while I was gone; and kept an eye on various groups online connected to that entire axis. I saw people saying things about casual murders and "purges" that were nothing less than astonishing - a lot of shit like this.

If you really think I'm insane, kal, try talking to these people for awhile. This man is a Freemason who works in the oil industry and - as you may be able to surmise - is a big fan of Goldman Sachs. He and his friends are prime candidates for being the next Anders Breivik. I truly believe that there are people out there who would kill every single person on this board in order to "prevent global warming" through overpopulation or simply to take military-industrial profits.
