Also at the event was Michelle Obama, who defended Bradley‘s movie American Sniper.

“More often than not, this film touches on many of the emotions and experiences I have heard first-hand from military families over these past few years,” she said at the event (via People).

Michelle continued, saying: “This movie reflects those wrenching stories I’ve heard, the complex journeys that our men and women in uniform endure, the complicated world, the decisions they are tasked with every day, the stresses of balancing love of family with love of country, and the challenges of transitioning back home.”
