Army Ranger Nick Irving Mocks Moron Michael Moore

Clint Eastwood’s adaptation of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle’s life is a bona fide box office smash. And as American Sniper broke opening weekend records earning over $100 million, it made a few enemies on the way to the top of the charts.

Mediocre filmmaker Michael Moore went on Twitter Sunday to take a sneak shot at a deceased Kyle, America’s deadliest sniper.

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

After being roundly excoriated, Moore attempted to back away from his terribly timed tweet. 

Hmm. I never tweeted 1word bout AmericanSniper/ChrisKyle. I said my uncle killed by sniper in WWII; only cowards would do that 2 him, others

Michael Moore is stupid, but he’s no idiot. He, and everybody else, knew exactly who his original cheap shot tweet was aimed at. 

Today, Sgt. Nick Irving of the Army’s Third Ranger Battalion (retired) and author of the book The Reaper shot back at Moore.

“I don’t think he deserves the breath that I’m about to give, but I’ll just say, Michael Moore, he wasn’t there in Afghanistan and the last time I checked, he’s never shot anybody with a scoped rifle,” Irving said on Fox and Friends. “So I don’t think he deserves the breath that comes out of me right now for that statement.”

Irving also doesn’t care if Michael Moore feels any appreciation for his or others’ military service. “A lot of good guys and a lot of my friends died, you know, for his right of freedom of speech, so I’m not really worried about what he has to say.”
