Article asserts that American Sniper may "silence" veterans (almost all who are men) who suffer from PTSD & mental health problems

Given that the military, and mental health problems are huge men's rights issues, and that men are heavily disproportionately affected by military service and mental health problems and stigma. This article made me think.

Do you think the article writer is correct that American Sniper hurts veterans and silences them from speaking out about PTSD, and affects how the public sees them?

And if so, is this a men's rights issue then, because the portrayal of soldiers as loyal, conscienceless, killing machines who do not suffer having to kill for their country is playing into stereotypes that harm men as well as harming the thousands of men suffering from PTSD as a result of military service?
