Michael Moore: Hero or Coward ?

[Anthony O.]

Based on recent Tweets by Michael Moore, such as this,

My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren`t heroes. And invaders r worse

Is he a coward or a hero? Share your thoughts.

[Anthony O.]

Hey Admins, can one of ya`ll correct my dumb mistake of the word "Here"? It should be `Hero".

Thanks

He is an Idiot and a Coward...

Perhaps if he were to watch the movie he would learn what a Sniper does and yes, the Enemy has them too...
Ours, are just better...
Dont get me started...

This Movie has already grossed over 100 million from the opening weekend...

He and that other Dufus Seth "Broken" Rogen are looking pretty lame out there alone..

Too bad either of these puds can`t ever be drafted... I would love to be in that Flight with them...

The best thing he was ever in was Team America.

Being that this is a family friendly forum, I will have to keep my thoughts on this fat man to myself.

[The Driver]

Maybe he should actually fight in a war, then talk. The only war he seems to be fighting against is obesity and yea... he`s losing.

[House of Wax]

I`m not sure that I could come up with anything to say about that fat pile of dog feces that wouldn`t get me kicked off the forum

I would not even insult a coward like that. He is a disgrace to this country.

Anyone who puts their life on hold to join the armed services is a hero in my book. But Michael was right, when I was a kid (1950`s) we were shown in books and films that the ENEMY snipers were cowards. Notice the word enemy. It`s all about perspective, when the enemy does something they`re cowards, when we do the same thing were heroes. Consider the American Revolution, the colonist were heroes, the British were evil. In Vietnam Americans were heroes, the Viet Cong were evil little cowards (ask John Wayne). It`s all about perspective.

Well put. What you say about perspective is well represented in the book "One Shot, One Kill" by Charles Sasser (a story from this book was used in the 1993 movie "Sniper").

Disclosure: I have not seen "American Sniper".

I honestly think that Carlos Hathcock was the best sniper. If you look at the missions he did and the fact that Vietnam was not the most friendly enviroment - insects, snakes, heat, humidity etc and the weapons were basically a hunting rifle with a big scope. If you put it all in perspective, then Carlos had less confirmed kills BUT - he took out a NVA sniper with a bullet through the other guys scope!, He crawled for 3 days to take out a NVA general at 800 yards and made it back. He pulled marines out of a blazing APC till his own burns made him stop and finally - it was MS that took the life of this remarkable man.
Note -yeah I know Mythbusters say that the scope shot was not possible, but, a retest with a scope from the same period as the NVA was using confirmed it.
