He quotes with approval, apropos of The American Sniper, this.
After watching the movie “American Sniper,” I called a friend named Garett Reppenhagen who was an American sniper in Iraq.
He deployed with a cavalry scout unit from 2004 to 2005 and was stationed near FOB Warhorse.
I asked him if he thought this movie really mattered.
“Every portrayal of a historical event should be historically accurate,” he explained.
"A movie like this is a cultural symbol that influences the way people remember history and feel about war.”
Maybe he was OK with Lincoln.
