Craig Morgan Goes After Seth Rogen Over 'American Sniper' Tweet

American Sniper just had one of the biggest opening-weekend box offices of all time, so it is no surprise that at least some of the millions of viewers had an issue with the film. One of the dissenters happened to be actor Seth Rogen, who noted the Clint Eastwood movie's resemblance to a faux Nazi propaganda film shown in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds.

American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that's showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds.

This statement obviously created a whirlwind of controversy that country star Craig Morgan apparently got wind of. The "That's What I Love About Sunday" singer served 10 years of active duty in the U.S. Army, and he decided to go after Rogen's tweet with his own Facebook post.

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.

Rogen tried to backpedal a bit on his Twitter feed after receiving loads of negative feedback.

I just said something "kinda reminded" me of something else. I actually liked American Sniper. It just reminded me of the Tarantino scene.

I wasn't comparing the two. Big difference between comparing and reminding. Apples remind me of oranges. Can't compare them, though. — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) January 19, 2015

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.

With millions more moviegoers likely to flock to theaters in the coming weeks, we have certainly not heard the last of celebrity endorsements or criticism concerning American Sniper.
