Craig Morgan Responds To Seth Rogen’s ‘American Sniper’ Comments

Actor Seth Rogen stirred up some controversy this week when he sent out a tweet about the movie American Sniper.

American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that’s showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds.

Many people, including country music singer Craig Morgan, took offense to the comment. Morgan, who served in the army for 10 years, took to Facebook to issue a response to Seth Rogen’s American Sniper comments. Morgan writes:

This is in response to the comments made by Seth Rogen in a recent tweet. I am sure he doesn’t care and normally I don’t comment on such statements however, this time I am. Seth Rogen you don’t know me nor did you know Chris Kyle (who was a Great American). I would be interested to know if you have a relationship with any American who served honorably in its military. I realize that your statement was in reference to the movie and not Chris Kyle himself, however the movie was about a portion of Chris’s life so therefore it was in reference to Chris. You are fortunate to enjoy the privilege and freedom of working in and living in the United States, and saying whatever you want (regardless of how ignorant the statement) thanks to people like Chris Kyle who serve in the United States military. Your statement is inaccurate and insensitive to Chris and his family. I’m sick and tired of people like you running your mouth when you have no idea what it takes for this country to maintain our freedoms. If you and anyone like you don’t like it, leave.

Seth Rogen clarified his comments on Twitter saying that he never called American Sniper a Nazi-propaganda film.

I just said something “kinda reminded” me of something else. I actually liked American Sniper. It just reminded me of the Tarantino scene.

I wasn’t comparing the two. Big difference between comparing and reminding. Apples remind me of oranges. Can’t compare them, though.

But if you were having a slow news day, you’re welcome for me giving you the opportunity to blow something completely out of proportion.

What did you think of American Sniper? Do you agree with Seth Rogen or Craig Morgan? Or, is this just another non-controversy?
