I was in the company of a very nice veteran that has a family and a good job. Someone mentioned "American Sniper" in a group of five adults. The veteran escalated his participation at the mention and began to demonstrate how he sat (on the floor) with his machine gun which fired hand grenades at the rate of about one per second. He further insisted a soldier had to know what he/she was doing otherwise the kick back would drive the gun into the chest of the soldier and it's use was compromised along with whom ever the gun was protecting.

Moore and actor Seth Rogen’s recent comments about American Sniper’s glorification of the war in the Middle East created a firestorm of criticism from patriots throughout Middle America....
I don't think it is funny when a conversation turns into a demonstration of soldier performance. We were all acquaintances and I am sure some of the casual nature of the group played into his comfort in playing out his part in the war.
This must be some kind of movie to prompt veterans to act out their war days at the sheer mention of it.
It’s not unusual for people (click here) who have experienced traumatic events to have flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories when something terrible happens -- like the explosions at the Boston Marathon.
Be tolerant of your nervous system: It’s having a normal reaction. Try not to get hooked to news reports, which may seem particularly compelling. Spend time with loved ones in favorite activities or outside in nature, and avoid alcohol....
