I watched a video of American Sniper about three weeks ago. As a number of people here haven't seen it yet, I'll not get into relating much what's in it, but suffice it too say Eastwood certainly did one helluva directing job, from a very well written script.
Bradley Cooper was excellent as were the supporting players, and the production values were outstanding. The locations were very authentic.
Overall it was a very good movie which did not bash our military or our efforts to go after Moslem terrorists.
FWIW.
