I've just read that Seth Rogen has also voiced his opinion, apparently siding with dickhead Moore. But as was said, they couldn't voice their opinions if not for all that serve(d) our country.

I saw it Friday night. I've never been that touched by a movie.
What happened at the theater was a first for me.
There wasn't a peep (other than sniffles) heard during the entire show.
At the end of the show, nobody moved until the last credit was shown & the lights came up.
Even as people where leaving, still not a sound but sniffles.

Chris is a true American Hero. He wasn't in it for glory but to serve his country and fellow soldiers. The men & women who serve deserve so much more than what our government provides. Originally Posted by ERwhynot
Much the same crowd response as when I watched this incredible, touching and thought provoking movie with this one exception; the sounds of sniffles including mine were drowned out by a well deserved hand of applause. Don't miss it.

Smattering of applause for one of the climactic scenes, other than that not much. I lost it at the end knowing the outcome. I think 95% of the theater didn't know he was murdered.

A true American hero. Gave a lot for his country and to protect his fellow servicemen.
I have read the book twice and Eastwood did a great job with the move.
When the movie ended there was complete silence while everybody left the theater.

Do you wish that was a mod? Just a question.

That is really surprising, considering it happened here in Texas. Oregon...yes, but...it may be an indicator of how many people don't watch the news or keep up with local events.
Great movie. I'd see it again. It's been a long time since lve genuinely felt moved at a movie theater. Great story.
I'm a Iraqi war vet. I was a combat adviser lived with the Iraqis for a year. I can tell you Clint Eastwood gets it. There where times during the movie that I thought I was watching myself. Barely made it to the car before I broke down and cried like a baby. If you see the movie pay attention to when he is home. The war scenes are exciting and we'll done. But the scenes while home are even better.

I wish I could have taken Michael Moore for one night in the A Shau. I can only imagine how much noise that fat ass would make but it would be one time his mouth would be shut.
EZ I will take the desert any day over hot and wet. I'm with you one combat patrol with the Iraqis would have Moore and Rogen pissing their pants and crying for their mommies.
