Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer blasts Michael Moore’s sniper comments


Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer criticized Michael Moore for Twitter comments he made Sunday.

View attachment 12584 Michael Moore @MMFlint Follow
My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards.
Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes. And invaders r worse

Meyer responded to the tweet in a post on Scout:

"I'm sure that his grandfather, who died serving this country, is rolling over in his grave knowing that his grandson is using him to justify him calling U.S. servicemen cowards. I'd be willing to bet that at some point during his grandfather's service, he was watched over by U.S. snipers, and probably had his life saved more than once by U.S. snipers during the war.

"I served as a Marine sniper for three years, and I believe the film American Sniper depicted what we do perfectly. A sniper's primary goal is to eliminate ground threats for U.S. guys on the ground. Is that what a coward is? A person whose goal is to save the lives of his warrior brothers?"
Moore is just trying to "relevant" -- which simply makes him more irrelevant than ever.

I believe that statement may have been somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Just a guess ... :D

Moore is an ignorant, uneducated, hollywood mouth piece that is bent on the destruction of our great nation like the rest of his liberal counterparts....don't ask me how I really feel.

Re: Michael Moore infers "snipers are cowards"; Medal of Honor recipient responds

I want to ask Moore, "If snipers are cowards, then what is the honorable way to kill another man?"

I also want to address this idea that liberals are trying to destroy America. That's absurd. No, they aren't trying to destroy America. They're trying to make America better. Just because they're wrong doesn't mean they're malicious. We need to stop with this whole, "If they don't hold my views, they must be trying to ruin everything," view. Most people have good intentions when it comes to politics (except for politicians - I'm not sure about them).

Moore is a passionate and sincere man from what I can tell. When it comes to politics and economics, I find him quite ignorant, but not necessarily malicious.

When you stop misconstruing your opposition's views, you'll be much more enlightened about the issue as a whole. When you tell yourself liberals are trying to destroy the nation, you ask "Why are they trying to destroy evertyhing?" and you'll never come up with a practical solution. All because you asked the wrong question. When you realize liberals are sincere, you begin to ask "Why do liberals think this is a good idea?" When you ask this, you're able to think of solutions that actually address the issue and not a straw man.

Re: Michael Moore infers "snipers are cowards"; Medal of Honor recipient responds

Moore and his ilk are jumping all over this, BUT they have NO PROBLEM with their messiah Obama dropping drones on entire villages killing innocent women and children when they are ONLY AFTER one guy...........go figure..........

BTW..........should their LOGIC not also apply to Pilots who drop bombs?

When the Media stops giving such as these attention, they will go away...............if not for the reporting of the stupidity of these guys, no one would ever know about it.............other than their own crowd, and who cares about them?

I agree with part of your post but we do know that some of the big liberal thinkers have suggested this very thing needs to be done...the old system of family and faith needs to be destroyed so they can build a better society... Is it very much a part of the agenda for some to destroy the traditional ideas that many of us believe have made us the great nation we are.

When I was young, I thought much like you...............as I grew older, and wiser, I learned to recognize wolves in sheep's clothing..............

In my earnest belief, and from all the evidence presented, it is the heartfelt desire of true liberals to turn the United States of America into the UNITED SOCIALIST STATES of AMERICA............ALL of the evidence presented over the last 50 years proves this out.............and they have made GREAT STRIDES just in the last six years!

Still, when I was young...............................(not dissin' you, just saying)

Liberals are extremely malicious; they're divisionists who work their division with the power of hatred as their winnowing fork. Racism, sexism and classism are their divine trinity. And as far as sincerity, liberals are sincere about being fascists hypocrites, demanding people do as they say, not as they do.

Exactly. Family and faith empowers the common citizen, and an empowered citizenry equals a neutered tyrannical wannabe government. That's why liberals are vehemently trying to destroy the foundation of family and faith, not to mention the right to bear arms.

lol.

And I thought that I was straightforward.

Btw, I'm not saying that I disagree with you:

Liberal-Media-Bias.jpg

Anyhow, I'm kind of torn on this issue...especially in that I regularly work with this nation's veterans and in that I've personally met and spoken to numerous snipers.

On the one hand, although I could never kill another individual myself, I do understand the nature of war and how snipers fit in with the same. Some snipers whom I've met would rather forget their past...being tormented by their own consciences (PTSD, etc.).

On the other hand, I've personally met some of the "Kill 'Em All and Let God Sort 'Em Out!" crowd and this certainly includes some snipers. Yes, I've personally been approached by snipers who bragged that they were "widow makers".

Anyhow, God will sort it all out in the end...
