I seen the movie..it was pretty good.
The focus, in my opinion, wasn't about him being some sort of he-man. It was a focus on a need for attention to PTSD sufferers. Not just of the ones you are closest with, but of all suffering soldiers coming home after dealing with the mess that is iraq/afghanistan.
I dont know why this is even a slightly controversial film. I found it a sad reminder that just because a person comes home from war, doesn't mean their mind came home also.

It's a celebration of a warrior not a social issue...until someone comes along to try to make i one.
"Warriors" don't hide in the bushes from their enemies.
He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

WE ARE exceptional in MANY ways.

America bashing is popular now but our ability to adapt will prove our way.
REGARDLESS of how YOU feel .
It has happened TIME and time again and we will see the pendulum swing back to the right eventually ,as is nominal in history.

Who told you BIRTHRIGHT insures exceptionalism?
I care because I was trained ,raised and worked at the risk of DEATH to maitain the country.
THAT trumps any progressive "suggestions" as clearly as water is wet.
