What are arguments for or against filmmaker Michael Moore's declaration that snipers are cowards, in his response to the release of American Sniper?

It just sounds irrelevant. His uncle was killed by a Japanese sniper, and he was told growing up that snipers are cowards. There's no reexamination of that concept though. Does he still think the Japanese sniper was a coward or has he changed his mind? Has he thought anymore about their role in combat besides," a sniper killed my uncle." Has he thought anymore about the Japanese, their culture during WWII, and our conflict with them?

He doesn't say. Instead he pin wheels from a personal anecdote to film review to another irrelevant statement about the murder if Martin Luther King Jr. It's just terribly boring and irrelevant.
