Craig Morgan, Blake Shelton Respond to “American Sniper” Comments

Country star and Army vet Craig Morgan has taken a stand against actor Seth Rogen's "American Sniper" comments and Blake Shelton has spoken out against comments made by film director Michael Moore. 

Morgan spent 10 years in active duty in the Army before becoming a country singer and definitely didn't like Rogen's tweet, in which "The Interview" star criticized "American Sniper" for what he seemed to characterize as a pro-war stance.

Over the weekend, Rogen tweeted that "American Sniper"  "kind of reminds me of the movie that's showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds," a reference to a Nazi propaganda film within Quentin Tarantino's 2009 movie.  It would appear Rogan realized he may have stuck his foot in his mouth, later clarifying his remarks, writing that he "actually liked American Sniper" and by saying, "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."

As a man who served our country, Morgan wasn't about to sit back and allow Rogan's comments to slide by. Morgan took to Facebook with this message:

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.
