'American Sniper' is a movie whose politics are so ludicrous and idiotic that under normal circumstances it would be beneath criticism. The only thing that forces us to take it seriously is the extraordinary fact that an almost exactly similar worldview consumed the walnut-sized mind of the president who got us into the war in question.
Like wars, forest fires and bad marriages, really stupid laws are much easier to begin than they are to end.
Since the end of the Cold War, America has been grasping left and right for an identity.
