Air Force veteran and congressman Adam Kinzinger said Sunday that “American Sniper,” the Oscar-nominated film that’s packed theaters while reigniting the nation’s culture wars, is the most authentic depiction of the Iraq conflict that he’s seen.
“It was the most realistic at just capturing that essence of what the Iraq war felt like,” the Illinois Republican, who serves on the Armed Service Committee, told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “So I think it was great.”
Critics say the movie, which stars Bradley Cooper as prolific U.S. sniper Chris Kyle, glorified the American mission in Iraq without exploring the nation’s reasons for waging the war. And, they say, it made the late sniper into a self-deprecating hero who, in actuality, was rather boastful about his exploits, including some morally and factually dubious ones on the homefront.
Others say the film is an important and unflinching portrayal of war and the struggles that 
veterans face when they come home. In 2013 Kyle was killed by a troubled veteran he had taken to a gun range in Texas as therapy.
