Craig Morgan Discusses ‘American Sniper’ Controversy: ‘You Don’t Have the Right to Place Judgement’

'American Sniper''s high-profile critics like Michael Moore and Seth Rogen have angered a fair number of military members, veterans and supporters of U.S. troops, including Craig Morgan. After taking to Facebook to blast Rogen's "inaccurate and insensitive" comments, Morgan is weighing in further on the controversy.

"I believe that we do have the right to speak our mind, and that’s the pleasure and the luxury and the blessing of living in the United States of America -- a country that men and women have died for to ensure that we can speak our mind," Morgan tells America's Morning Show, noting that he was "extremely hesitant" to speak up in the first place. "But just because you have the right to say something doesn't necessarily make it right, and I'm just tired of it."

Morgan, an Army vet himself, notes that he was especially riled up because Chris Kyle, the subject of the film and of the derogatory comments, is deceased.

"I have a problem with people talking about people who have passed," he says. "They're gone, you're not accomplishing anything by making a negative remark about someone who's gone, especially someone who served his country.

"You don't have the right to place judgement," Morgan continues. "You do, in this country, have the right to speak your mind and say what you want, but in my opinion ... you don't have the right to degrade the value of that individual, and to me, that's what [Rogen]'s doing."

Morgan wasn't the only country star who took offense to the critics. Blake Shelton tweeted his support for the film, calling those like Moore and Rogen "#truecowards."
