American Sniper tells the true story of Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in Navy SEAL history. He served four duties in Iraq, from 2003 to 2008, and according to the Daily Mail, “killed as many as 255 insurgents with his high powered sniper rifle.” Kyle was murdered in 2013 at a shooting range, so to learn more about him, director Clint Eastwood and star Bradley Cooper traveled to Hamilton, Texas, to talk to the man’s father, Wayne. It was an intense meeting.
Wayne Kyle said he looked into the eyes of the veteran director and warned him: “Disrespect my son and I’ll unleash Hell on you.”
Eastwood and actor Bradley Cooper, who plays Kyle in the upcoming film American Sniper, both assured him they wouldn’t do anything to cause the family any anguish.
“They looked me in the eye and told me they would honor my son’s memory. That was good enough for me,” said 65-year-old Kyle. “Both Mr. Eastwood and Mr. Cooper were men I could trust. They were very open and engaging and did not want to hide anything.” (Via)
Wayne understandably had his doubts about turning his son’s 2012 autobiography into a movie because he knows “what Hollywood can do and how it can change things.” But he was won over by their decision to personally come see him and how “very respectful and honest” they were. Also, he received a glowing letter of recommendation for Eastwood from Clyde.

It is left out. Apparently, the commercials have more flavor and tension then the actual movie.
Need to start working that into my conversations.
“If you’re late for that school bus, I’ll unleash hell on you.”
“I’ll have the steak, medium rare or I’ll unleash hell.”
Nahhh. On second thought it makes you sound like some crazy old prick.
No, that’s the onion on your belt making you sound that way.
“Or I’ll unleash hell on you.” is just basically the southern Americanization of “Don’t make me declare jihad.”
On my signal, unleash hell.
Pretty sure Clint wasn’t shaken up…
Go ahead, old man. Make Clint’s day and unleash hell.
He also wasn’t woken up.

To have Clint Eastwood helm the movie version of your autobiography seems disrespectful enough in itself.
Except for the fact that he is CLINT EASTWOOD
Yes, Clint Eastwood, director of some of the clumsiest, sappiest, most ham-handed piece of shit films in the last couple decades.
Space Cowboys was an honest depiction of cowboys…in space.
It was a damn sight more believable than Gran Torino.
ive never been more upset by a comment on the internet. sir! you forget yourself!
I found the retard.
Gran Torino was awesome.. take it back you fiend!
Please turn in your man card. You either have a vagina or are a commie bastard to speak ill of Clint Eastwood.
tough crowd
Another Christmas release that’s been censored under the threat of violence…
I’ll bet Clint Eastwood was really talking to an empty chair.
That’s one tough sumbitch considering you could unleash hell on Eastwood at this point by moving his walker a foot out of his reach or blowing him over with a paper fan and watching him shatter. We need more tough dads like this to remind 80 year olds who they fuck with
“Include how my son constantly told lying bullshit stories and I’ll unleash Hell on your troop-hating Hollywood LIBRUL ass!”

cue to Simo Häyhä laughing
WHY AM I ONLY FINDING OUT ABOUT SIMO HÄYÄ NOW?! WHY IS THERE NOT A MOVIE ABOUT HIM?!
Simo didnt have a high powered rifle, just a shitty one.
Does Jesse Ventura play the guy at the shooting range?
‘Im a goddamn sexual Tyrannasuras’
I ain’t got time to bleed
Stifling laughter at work. Thank you.
If you don’t give my son the tongue job his book did I swear I’ll be mad at you known troop hater Clint Eastwood.
Give me a fucking break old man jesus christ.
Your a fucking idiot. Just because a Vet has PTSD does not mean they should not own, use or have access to firearms. Dipshit go vote for hillary and eat a bag of dicks.
Yeah you take that person who didn’t say that at all and you totally just reamed him for saying that.
Perhaps he was suggesting taking someone to a place with a lot of fire arms going off might be a bad idea, supported by the idea that you know that particular person than killed two people at that very place.
Frig this guy. He was an a-hole and a frikkin stormtrooper.
I wonder if they included his daring Katrina shootings or the time he punishered two dudes in texas. I mean those things totally happened!
Go home, libtard, you’re drunk.
So this post..it doesn’t say sponsored post on it…but it sure feels 100% like a paid advertisement.
I was wondering htf he was murdered @shooting range,so he brought a ”buddy” w/PTSD w/him and the dude just flat out used him for a target??
He brought a PTSD vet to the range to help him deal with the trauma he also brought a friend of his. The man killed both men and then stole Kyle’s truck. It’s sad to an extent, and also incredibly dumb of him to do it because the guy was really mentally unbalanced and no tough guy macho bullshit would fix it.
Do you guys realize Mr. Eastwood is 20 years older than Mr. Kyle? You’re talking like Wayne Kyle is an old decrepit man with a walker and one foot in the grave. Plus, you’d be surprised what kind of hell a Texan can unleash on someone who disrespects their son who has done so much for his country. I have no doubt Eastwood will carry out the wishes of Mr. Kyle.
Yeah the elderly truly have much to fear from Texans.
Lots of vile comments about men this story relates to, that posters of said vile are not man enough to share their company or appreciate their accomplishments. Clint Eastwood, Chris Kyle, both veterans that served this country.
thatguywhohatesyou sounds mentally imbalanced and should be kept away from firearms. Yes, it is beyond stupid to take someone with PTSD to the range. And no, under no circumstance should they be allowed within 100 feet of a weapon. Chris died of stupidity.
Unleash hell on Scruff Face first.
Please.
Bunch of LITGOLS on this site You FI”s need to respect the people that keep you inalienable rights to be retarded and vote DEMO!!
I’d like to see any of you fat assed Cheeto eating internet jockeys say this crap to Wayne Kyle, Chris himself, or any one of his team. Turn off the computer and go do something that contributes to something good. You have no idea what your talking about.
Yeah, saying something disrespectful to Chris would be pretty easy.
It’s not like his corpse is armed.
Of course he isn’t armed!
His family couldnt afford a normal sized coffin so they had to chop off his arms and legs to make him fit.
Hey that’s BULLSHIT!! I have PTSD, my issue is driving CARS!! So I get a disability, and I can’t own a a GUN to defend my Home, Family, LIFE?? Fuck you ignorant trolls. Until you( and I PRAY you don’t) get this kind of head wreck, you sure the fuck shouldn’t ASSUME anything aabout anyone, EVER.
