Because that propaganda movie accusation is just stupid. It doesn't make any sense. America sells a lot of stuff but not ideology, none in the warehouse, you make propaganda to support an ideology not to mention that given the guy u ask Clint Eastwood to make a propaganda thing even if u were the President my bet is u will be told to go to hell. How do u want to have an ideology to support when the Constitution first words are We The People...  it is just incompatible.

When I first read  there was a controversy I looked at what's available to read and watch and I thought it is weird really. If it was just about killing 160 something enemies it makes Chris Kyle a very successful professional but it doesn't make a movie, it takes more than that and it is more than a hero thing as well since in a way any Service member that was in combat situation is at least for his a hero, so it is always a combination of a situation and someone special through both his personal history and time under the uniform. I think what shows it best is when he went to Bill O'Reilly's show and that he repeated twice that his focus was on making sure that as many as possible return home safely, if you pay attention, anyway I felt it like that, he was talking to himself just trying for the 999 time to persuade himself that there was nothing else to do. It is the combination of the lethal professional he was and how uncomfortable he felt about it that made him special I'd say.
