In his autobiography, Chris says that this event happened in Nasiriya during the initial invasion. However, Clint Eastwood decided to situate this scene during the 2nd siege of Fallujah in 2004. Also, in the film the woman hands the grenade to her son and encourages him to rush at the US patrol, whereas in the book it is the woman who tries to throw the grenade. Did Clint Eastwood think that this is a more representative portrayal of the Iraqi resistance ? It’s not. These human-shield tactics were extremely rare and were only used by the most marginal and unpopular militias. telesurtv.net/english/opinion/American-Sniper-20150110-0019.html
