As ex military I can testify that this is an average movie about a lost man. We are not heroes and we are far from good. We are sent to foreign countries briefed in black and white. We have no politics and opinion. Our employer is the U.S. government and we never know the real agenda. However, we take orders and follow through by doing our job. Then you have some like Kyle that forget their purpose and get lost. We all have been lost at one time or another with alcohol, narcotics, gambling or what not. Kyle just got lost with killing. The real hero in this movie is the therapist that got him off killing and helped him find his way back to life. The movie is misleading about the war in Iraq and how we the government employees felt about it.
