Of course he is the good guy! He is the president from the USA, remember!? I saw American Sniper the other day, and it is very clear that they are the good guys, even when they are killing little kids. You can see it because it is so damn stressing for them to kill kids, that they can barely forget the experience. They are really, really good! And fighting for the good of everybody too! (well, not for the good of that little kid). They are so good!
