Michelle Obama gives 'American Sniper' two thumbs up
Ann Oldenburg, USA TODAY 2:40 p.m. EST January 30, 2015


WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama had high praise for American Sniper on Friday morning.

Not from a critical standpoint, per se, but for the film's complex portrayal of veteran Chris Kyle.

The first lady was unveiling a program designed to recognize film and TV content that accurately portrays veterans and military families called 6 Certified, part of a national veteran campaign, Got Your 6, which is a military term meaning, "I've got your back."

...........

"I know there have been critics," said Mrs. Obama of Sniper. "But more often than not, this film touches on many of the emotions and experiences I have heard first-hand from military families over these past few years. This movie reflects those wrenching stories I've heard, the complex journeys that our men and women in uniform endure, the complicated world, the decisions they are tasked with every day, the stresses of balancing love of family with love of country, and the challenges of transitioning back home."
