I watched American Sniper and walked out of the theater (which was full) like everyone else: Quietly. As I walked to the car, I tried to gather my thoughts and process what I had seen. For the past 14 years, our men and women in uniform have been asked to fight on some of the toughest battlefields on the planet -- and many for multiple tours of duty. Thousands have given their lives. Even more have given parts of their bodies due to wounds. But as I was heading home, I thought of the tens of thousands of veterans whove come home with wounds we cant see. If a highly trained and mentally tough U.S. Navy SEAL like Chris Kyle suffered from PTSD, imagine what they are going through? American Sniper is on its way to being one of the highest grossing R-rated movies of all time. If a fraction of those who bought a ticket demand our veterans get the care they deserve, then I give the movie two enthusiastic thumbs up.
