Just a question about the lefts babbling about this movie. Is i their contention that the act of sniping from long range and hidden from site is cowardice? If so wouldn't that apply to almost all forms of military attack methods? Bombers from the air are at a safe distance. Artillery fire on land and sea the same. It's war it all sucks but sniping may be one of the riskiest jobs of them all(aside from running up Omaha beach or being a tail gunner in a ww2 bomber). When you fire your location is compromised and being alone your could be in big trouble.
Also they say the movie glorified war. Hardly, I felt sad for what goes on and even sadder for how f'd up the soldiers come back both mentally and physically and they spent a lot of time getting that point across.
