I don't know enough about him to know where his heart was really at. I only watched the movie. If he was like the person in the movie, then I don't have a problem with him as a person.

Read his personal quotes, taken from his book. These quotes can be found easily on the internet. Most is bull and pure invention, but it helps in realizing how he wanted to be viewed.

Also, as for American Sniper - there's a certain brand of American films that are no better in the gag reflex department than what Goebbels produced in ages past. Top Gun, They were expendable, Pearl Harbor to a certain degree. Usually the ones where the support of the Pentagon is mentioned in the credits. They don't smile on productions that don't play ball - propaganda ball, that is.
