Just a thought...

Just reading all the drama related to the movie 'American Sniper"
Everyone is jumping on Moore - of course with a plethora of fat comments. Super mature.

I understand what he is saying.. did he need to say it?
Probably not but he isn't one known for keeping his thoughts to himself.

Ironically, and sadly.. all of this is happening after actual cowards have bombed buildings trying to stop people from speaking freely and publishing cartoons.
Michael Moore is not ISIS, he is not a Terrorist - he may fight with his words, he may say stupid things that seem rather badly timed ...but you are attacking the wrong person.

Why not attack the reason for snipers?
Why not shut the fuck up and stop the war.
Or you could fill twitter and facebook with angry posts about how he is wrong for what he said.
You could report it on the freaking news that he tweeted..WTF..
Way to draw peoples attention away from things that may actually matter. Good job..
But what does matter? I don't know anymore. 

Snipers kill from a distance.
Bombers set bombs then walk away.
People fire guns from moving vehicles.
Fires are set ablaze and the person moves to safety.

All of those things happen in war and we are suppose to award people medals for bravery
I absolutely believe that these people are fighting for our freedoms and deserve to be honored for what they have done for us.
But...
In this world we are forced to live in two different platforms.
The one in which we shoot to kill, the other which we convict and send to jail for doing the same thing.

How are we suppose to understand how to live?
How are we suppose to believe one person is a hero and another is a coward?

In war people get killed.
The other side has snipers, are they heroes or cowards?

Most do not believe in harming innocent people.. who chooses which side of the gun is innocent?

What if both sides of the gun are innocent?

They do not ask to be hurt, they do not ask to see what they see.
They just want to help.. but are they?
They just want to keep us safe..but are they?
The right people are winning and the bad guys are loosing right?
This will end soon wont it?

Killers kill without care, sympathy..empathy or remorse.
Soldiers are not killers. 
They are highly trained men and women that believe they are protecting a country that they love.
They are following orders.
They are trained to.
They are fighting back - at least they believe they are.
The other side is not people just like them.. they can't be?
They can't consider the lives of the people on the other side.

 But then they do...when they get home.
