Army Sergeant And Former Sniper Roasts Michael Moore For Calling Snipers Cowards
Something that has been ingrained in me from an early age is to always respect the men and women who risk their lives so we can enjoy our freedom here at home. Respect shows no bias for a certain job in the military, and all who serve should be treated equally. Director Michael Moore apparently doesn’t share the same sentiment for our troops. On Sunday, he took to Twitter to further strengthen this notion.
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
— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) January 18, 2015
Yeah? You’re the real coward here, Mr. Moore. If we didn’t have the cover from snipers, our men and women doing raids would go in blindly with no support. Snipers are heroes, just like the rest of our servicemen and women. Earlier today, Fox News brought Sgt. Nick Irving onto “Fox & Friends.” Irving, who was also a sniper, earned the nickname “The Reaper” for his impressive record. He also is the author of the book “The Reaper.”
The show’s hosts asked him about his thoughts on Michael Moore’s tweet and whether or not Moore should have been thanking him instead of insulting him. Here was his response:
Drop the mic.
I know Moore won’t give it to you, Sgt. Irving, but I will. Thank you for everything you have done to serve the greatest country on the planet. God bless you. Moore can sit on it and spin..
Michael Moore is no fucking director. He is a piece of shit liberal propaganda spreader who hates America.
11 years ago at 6:36 pmDon’t really know what freedoms were protected and gained in Iraq and Afghanistan but alright.
11 years ago at 6:40 pmShut your whore mouth.
11 years ago at 6:49 pmMaybe if you were a token Kurdish pledge you’d understand.
11 years ago at 6:51 pmThis is a far broader issue than the reasons behind those two wars. This is a general disrespect for the people who fought for our country in all of the wars, past and future. So you and him both should keep your shit eating mouths closed.
11 years ago at 6:52 pmThe broader issue is Americas wrongful involvement in the Middle East and interfering in the growth process that is necessary for regions to reach peace, see Europe. We created a monster in the Middle East. My father served and I have no disrespect for the Men and Women who serve, they are simply doing their job like anyone else. However, it is wrong to applaud their actions of killing and violence. Especially when those acts of violence don’t protect any freedoms of the U.S. It would be like you applauding an MMA fighter for beating up a trouble causing 10 year old and saying “thank you for keeping me safe” even though you were never in danger in the first place.
11 years ago at 7:17 pmHonestly, why are you on this website? Shouldn’t you just go spread your bullshit on Facebook or even better, worldstar hip hop?
11 years ago at 7:27 pmStill surprised there’s not one of you intelligent enough to actually provide a level headed response. It’s cute how emotional you guys get over any opinion that differs from your own. Must be a wonderful life living as sheep.
11 years ago at 8:01 pmThis is why:

I’m shaking in my boots because ISIS is such a threat. Should we invade North Korea too? They have made countless threats like this? Should invade every country that makes a claim we don’t like? The worst part too is, ISIS is and organization and idea. You can’t stop an organization and belief system, it’s impossible. What a weak rebuttal.
11 years ago at 12:16 amAll i read was “blah blah blah im a dildo kissing dyke blah blah blah heil hitler”. I hate you.
11 years ago at 7:42 pmReply was to the token, not the poster above. Ill lace em up dont worry im already two steps into lap one.
11 years ago at 7:43 pmAmerica protects the freedom of the people in those countries as well, not just our own. Are you going to sit here and tell me Sadam didn’t deserve to die? Shut your dicksucker. America didn’t create a monster, the Islamic people have been monsters for thousands of years.
11 years ago at 7:42 pmI thought Republicans were to each his own. Now you care about the people of the Middle East? And you can turn around and say that Christians have been monsters for thousands of years. Unless you want to ignore the Crusades, U.S Slavery, The Holocaust, the eradication of Native Americans in the U.S and so on.
11 years ago at 7:59 pmur nothing but a loudoun county nothern virginia liberal who is employed by the government. move along now.
11 years ago at 8:05 pmIs that an insult? Must say something if the liberal areas of Falls Church (where I’m actually from) and Loudon County are the two richest counties in the United States. If you learn proper English you may be fortunate enough to live in an affluent area yourself there champ.
11 years ago at 8:12 pmon my phone, dont care. nova is primarily middle class, stop acting like all of nova is great falls, alexandria, or mclean where the uber wealthy reside. richest county has nothing to do with actual wealth, it just means you have a lot of people in the middle class, congrats. u also have one of the highest costs of living. and if the government shut down, northern virginia would cease to be the home of the richest counties.now, shut your bitch ass up. go back to your 2,000 square foot townhome and jerk off to pics of obama.
11 years ago at 8:41 pmGreat falls, where I lived and I went to Mclean High School but thanks for the lesson there Frockter. This is true we do have one of the highest costs of living because people can afford it. I think it’s hilarious that you bring up “if the government shut down” because that would never happen. And if that did happen, we would all be fucked not just Northern Virginians. So I don’t really understand what point you were trying to make. Don’t live in a town home but I’ll make sure to not to forget my daily worship of Obama.
11 years ago at 8:54 pmToken must be getting fit with all these laps eh? ^
11 years ago at 9:01 pmFirst,
There are more three times more Indians alive today in the U.S. as when the U.S. was founded.
And, this is why:http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/isis-jihadists-vow-to-conquer-europe-kill-500-million-people/
Do you think they are just going to stop after they ‘Cleanse’ 500 million people in Europe and not come to America?
11 years ago at 10:39 pmAs for Slavery, it existed in the world for thousands of years before America was founded. Within 70 years of its founding, America not only went to war with itself to eradicate and outlaw slavery, but America eventually eradicated slavery as an institution throughout the rest of the world!
the only regret I have about slavery is that your ungrateful ass is living here as a result of it.
11 years ago at 11:13 pmI’ll never stop applauding the people who protect me. Your geed opinion is irrelevant.
11 years ago at 7:43 pmThen why did you reply?
11 years ago at 7:59 pmThis post is about a piece of human fecal matter who on many occasions has disrespected the people who fight and die for him. So maybe I should ask you why your opinion on Iraq and Afghanistan matters? Shut up and go away.
11 years ago at 8:11 pmNever said my opinion matters, but you emotional conservatives are making it matter by providing my opinion with loads of attention. I do agree that a military is necessary, but not on the scale that it is now. And I can guarantee Moore’s life would be no different if Kyle had never picked up a rifle.
11 years ago at 8:16 pmI could carve your opinion into the side of Mt. fucking Everest and it would still mean less than the dirt on the bottom of my shoe.
11 years ago at 8:19 pmThen do it hot shot, because until you do your words are worthless. Anyone can make claims YeahhhJeets, but not many can back those claims up.
11 years ago at 8:25 pmNo more worthless than your words hot shot. But hey, I’m thankful for your dad’s service. Just remember that Michael Moore hates him and his comrades.
11 years ago at 8:30 pmI could care less if Michael Moore hates him or not, doesn’t affect my life in the slightest. That dude can do and say has he pleases, free country my man got to love it.
11 years ago at 8:55 pmAn yeah you’re right, his life would probably be exactly the same. Because another soldier would have taken his place. You’re an imbecile trying to justify the trashing of the military for some reason.
11 years ago at 8:22 pmThat’s not what I meant and you know it, so instead of addressing my true point you just tip toe around it. You should become a politician, you’d be great at it.
11 years ago at 8:27 pmHell, maybe I will.
11 years ago at 8:31 pmWe’re America. We’re not gonna let a bunch of Muslim fucks come over from the world’s asshole and come on our soil and kill innocent men, women, and children without any sort of retaliation. That’s why it was important to get involved in the Middle East.
11 years ago at 7:49 pmFuck terrorism and fuck Islam.
11 years ago at 7:50 pmIgnorance is bliss
11 years ago at 7:55 pmIgnorance is bliss. You’re proving it.
11 years ago at 8:16 pmAre you sure? While I’m providing context and reasoning behind my opinions, the intelligent TFM fan base is providing nothing but emotional and personal attacks. “Fuck Islam” is a very ignorant thing to say. Blaming the many for the actions of a few is a blatant quality of an ignorant individual. But please, tell me how I’m ignorant Rockindale.
11 years ago at 8:22 pmI hope Uncle Jimbo kicks your disrespectful little black ass.
11 years ago at 8:41 pmEver heard of 9/11 last time I checked the war started on and because of that day where America claimed that anyone who promotes terrorism, takes part in it, or harbors terrorists has declared war on the
11 years ago at 8:46 pmUnited States and all that it stands for
And then you say that we shouldn’t be involved in the Middle East. Have you not seen videos of people of the Middle East beheading our people? Our allies people? Screaming that they hate America and that they will kill us? Committing acts of terror on our soil? How in the hell do you think that that is not enough reason to blow them to pieces.
11 years ago at 9:03 pmThe reason is because I am a rational human being who believes brash emotional moves never pan out. What is happening in the Middle East is down right awful. Just like what happened in Europe was awful during the dark ages. The Middle East was colonized by European powers and broken up randomly. The Middle East was never allowed their time to have a thousand years of war so they could peacefully draw their battle lines and form treaties. Europeans stunted this as I said before. Something you may learn if you attended a history class or two. The reason Middle Eastern’s hate Americans so much is because of our involvement in their affairs and attempt at controlling them. You think the Middle East just started hating the U.S for no reason? Osama bin Laden is thought to have been a U.S creation during the 90’s to combat the Soviet Union. The Reagan administration was feeding billions of dollars to Afghanistan’s Islamic resistance to expel Soviet troops from that area. You probably didn’t know that either, seems most Republicans don’t. Do some research and try to look at the world from the a difference perspective than your own. Living in a tiny bubble is no way to live and will only continue to make you angry.
11 years ago at 9:39 pmThree things:
1.) Why that long repsonse? Save ya Islam talk for your school debate.
2.)Isn’t “TokenBlackKid” racist?
3.) Yea Im high
11 years ago at 10:39 pmNo. Your are a beta male dork who can’t get laid, Token.
11 years ago at 10:43 pmYou’re an impressive troll.
11 years ago at 11:17 pmI’ll make it easier for you. Take a bowl of 100 M&Ms. 10 of them have cocaine in them and the other 90 are normal but they all look the same. Would you take the chance and eat all the M&Ms? That’s how America feels about Muslims. We don’t know which ones are bad but we will not take a chance with all of them if we don’t know which ones will hurt us. You’re ignorant because you think America should let the Muslims walk all over us. You say you don’t know what freedoms were gained in these wars, we have all of our freedoms. We are protecting them.
11 years ago at 9:00 pmI’d crush up every god damn M&M till I found the ones that had the white girl in em
11 years ago at 9:15 pmI need something stronger than coke to deal with what that guy has to say.
11 years ago at 10:20 pmSo you think that 10 percent of Muslims are terrorists? I feel like you’re trying to make yourself sound close minded. There are 1.6 billion Muslims walking the earth today. By your math, that means there are 160,000,000 terrorists today. Also what you sound like is a dictator who is willing to sacrifice individual rights for national security. So I am guessing you are also cool with NSA tapping our phones? You must be a fan of big government because that what you need to smash every M&M to keep all of us safe. Are you cool with random searches and seizures as well? The reason you’re so cavalier about sacrificing the freedoms of Muslims is because you aren’t one. It isn’t your problem so why care. Your attitude would change real quick if you were an American Muslim who has done nothing wrong. That’s a pretty shitty way of going through life man, and it only makes you hate.
11 years ago at 12:12 amNone of what you just said even relates to the issue. The M&M concept wasn’t an exact figure, just an idea to make it easier for you’re close minded personality. How does what I said turn me into a dictator? What the hell are you even talk about.
11 years ago at 10:05 amSeriously, shut the fuck up. We all realize that you think you know what the fuck you’re talking about. Don’t bitch about everyone else getting emotional when you’re typing out lengthy responses. It’s not worth the time to whoop you’re ass in a debate because there’s no sense in arguing with idiots. You’d just pound the table and call me ignorant. TLeftistM. Fuck off and go google ‘Boko Haram in northeast Nigeria’.
11 years ago at 11:17 pmA lengthy response does not mean emotional. And honestly I’d be impressed if you could whoop my ass in debate since no one else on this site can. It seems all the table pounding is coming from you guys slinging personal attacks and providing zero rebuttal. I read about Boko Haram and am wondering what point you are trying to move. Right now TConservativeM is to provide zero logic sling emotional insults and claim to be able to beat me in a debate but not doing so. Keep it up, it’s a good look.
11 years ago at 12:04 amHave you ever had sex with a hot chick? Do you have 10-50 brothers who have your back? Probably not.
11 years ago at 12:46 amThe more you struggle to gain acceptance and accolades for how smart you are, the more it will rub people wrong.
Pi Kap at Pitt has about 90 brothers so I would say I have at least 10 who have my back. But honestly, I don’t really understand what this has to do with the discussion but that’s usually what someone does when they have lost. You guys are hilarious. My goal is not to look smart, I am getting nothing but laps on this site. I am just trying to provide a different perspective to this pool of hate and ignorance. You guys sit behind your computers on this site bashing in any non WASP individual doesn’t fit your ideals of Frat. You guys look at me as if I’m trolling when this site is full of life trolls. I am simply trying to talk about how violence is not the answer and hating people you don’t know is wrong. This is kindergarten shit but it seems to have been lost among most of you.
11 years ago at 1:38 amYou clearly don’t have any concept of how the world actually works. The governments of countries in the middle east fund terrorist activities. You think they wanna sit down and talk it out? not a fucking chance. If you’re not muslim they will kill you. Their goal is to eradicate all the “infidels” and wanna know who falls in that category? Your dumbass and everyone else in this great country. I’d like to see you go up to a radical islamist and tell them you’re from America and would like to talk out our problems. You’d show up on Al-Jezeera with your fucking head missing.
11 years ago at 2:34 amHere ya go Token, the non joking response you’ve been looking for.
You are entitled to have your opinions about the necessity of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. You are entitled to say, “However, it is wrong to applaud their actions of killing and violence. Especially when those acts of violence don’t protect any freedoms of the U.S.” There are a lot of people who agree with you by saying – support the troops, don’t send them to wars.
However, it is wrong in our eyes for you and Moore to say we shouldn’t be applauding their actions of killing and violence. I do think Chris Kyle is a hero and worthy of applause because he saved many American lives. He saved his brothers’ lives in military uniforms by killing people that wanted to kill some American soldiers. One of the things beat into us during pledgeship was ”Be your brothers’ keeper” and that holds true to the men in our military. I’d rather have the Americans come back alive and walking instead of dead or rolling. I don’t care if it cost the life of someone who picked up a gun in the streets and was willing to risk their life to take the life of one of our own.
During the war, whether it was unnecessary or not we have to support our troops. You can protest the war, call for an end to it to stop the killing and stop the risk to American Soldiers, but just the way I’m reading your comments it comes off very “anti-soldier” Your comments here make you seem like the type of guy that waits for a plane or bus to drop off soldiers returning from war to spit in their face.
That would be very NF.
11 years ago at 8:46 amFuck your bliss
11 years ago at 8:16 pmName a domestic attack on U.S soil since September 11, 2001 that is one tenth the size of the 9/11 attacks. That seems to be the least talked about point regarding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan whenever a discussion like this takes place. You think you’re safe, that no militaristic action is ever necessary to maintain peace and freedom, but you are wrong. Remember that the next time you post another nonsensical diatribe on the internet in the peace and comfort of your own home.
11 years ago at 8:56 pmIf you think the U.S invading Iraq is the reason there has not been another 9/11 you don’t get out much. We have actually pissed off the Middle East more with our involvement. The reason for lack of 9/11s is heightened security. But there have still been hundreds of attempts to recreate that awful day by radical terrorists. You should no that correlation equals does not equal causation. What a weak point. Also, if you actually care to read, I never said “no militaristic action is ever necessary”. I said I believe that there is too much force being implemented in places we do not belong and should not applaud the killing of other human beings. It’s not the movie I have the problem with, it’s the ignorant sheep who take a radical hate message from it.
11 years ago at 11:59 pmShut the fuck up. When radical islamists come to cut off your head because you don’t wanna get on your knees and suck “allah’s” dick I will feel no pity for you.
11 years ago at 2:15 amHaha I wouldn’t hold your breath
11 years ago at 10:06 am“There have still been HUNDREDS of attempts to recreate that awful day by radical terrorists.” Please provide the source for this fictitious statement. Youtube comments on 9/11 conspiracy videos don’t count.
11 years ago at 11:48 amFuck you Michael Moore.
Also Tim Hasselbeck definitely out kicked the punt team.
11 years ago at 6:44 pmComplete badass. Thank you for your service!
11 years ago at 7:57 pmRespect shouldn’t be equal for all military positions. I respect the guy who serves 4 tours and risks his life everyday more than the guy in the local recruiting office.
11 years ago at 7:58 pmThank you for your service. Fix the app please.
11 years ago at 8:06 pmUpdate ya iOS
11 years ago at 10:21 pmIt’s never too late for an abortion, is it?
11 years ago at 8:14 pmIf you don’t stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them. Fuck Moore.
11 years ago at 8:14 pmFinally someone says the #truth. God bless you Michael Moore. That “fat fuck” is actually a beautiful man, you’re all just jelly
11 years ago at 8:55 pmActually kill yourself
