Watch it on a pay-per-view service and if you feel the need to help PTSD veterans then please, donate to the charity that actually has ties to Chris Kyle or some of the other groups out there. You'd think they would have thought of that as their choice to donate to, but you'd be wrong.
It is a powerful movie and a lot of people have told me they understand PTSD a lot better than ever before.
Some veterans went to see it at the theater but most have been waiting to be able to watch it in the privacy, and security, of their own homes. I am glad they are not making you wait too long to see it so that part is all good. The rest, well, you'll see what I mean.
I removed the links to the "project" because I'm sure you know where to find them if you really wanted to. After all it must take a lot of money to "help injured servicemen and women aid and assist each other" as if that isn't something veterans do for each other for free everyday!
I emailed them and didn't hear back so if you feel compelled to let them know how you feel about this, please use their contact information and let them know.

His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield, and as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.” However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world.Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the spirit of the SEAL creed to “leave no one behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.BLU-RAY AND DVD ELEMENTS“American Sniper” Blu-ray Combo Pack & Two Disc DVD contains the following special features:· One Soldier’s Story: The Journey of American SniperJoin director Clint Eastwood and his creative team, along withBradley Cooper and Sienna Miller, as they overcome enormous creative andlogistic obstacles to make a film that brings the truth of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle's story to the screen.· Making of American SniperDIGITAL DISTRIBUTION ELEMENTSOn May 19, “American Sniper” will be available for streaming and download to watch anywhere in high definition and standard definition on their favorite devices from select digital retailers including Amazon, CinemaNow, Comcast, Flixster, iTunes, PlayStation, Vudu, Xbox and others. “American Sniper” will also be available digitally on Video On Demand services from cable and satellite providers, and on select gaming consoles.ABOUT DIGITAL HD WITH ULTRAVIOLET*Digital HD with UltraViolet allows fans to watch a digital version of their movie or TV show anywhere, on their favorite devices.
