quote:

But Kyle, who was murdered by a fellow military veteran several years after leaving the Navy, embellished his military record, according to internal Navy documents

one official described Kyle as a �decorated war hero� and questioned the �motivations� of looking into Kyle�s account.

In 2013, he was murdered in Texas by a fellow veteran struggling with mental health problems.

Kyle also wrote in his book that he had 160 �confirmed kills� as a sniper. Service members in battle largely self-report the number of enemy combatants they kill.

In 2014, just over a year after Kyle�s death, a Minnesota jury found that he had lied in American Sniper and defamed former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura by claiming to have punched Ventura out at a bar in Coronado, California. The jury awarded Ventura, who served in a precursor unit to the Navy SEALs during the Vietnam War, $1.8 million in damages and ordered Kyle�s widow, Taya Kyle, to pay. (Taya Kyle is appealing the ruling.)
[op's note: disgusting to make her pay, american legal system is broken]
[edit: they should make the guy who killed Chris pay]

�SEALs are silent warriors, and I�m a SEAL down to my soul,� Kyle wrote in American Sniper. �If you want to check me out, ask a SEAL.�

do we have any SEALS Here?

frankly i've lost all respect for this man after he lied about how many people he killed

Most military members weren't even alive when Kent State went all Columbine. Plus, the National Guard got overhauled quietly afterwards and I'd say the likelihood of something similar going down would be exponentially smaller than the chances of a random mass shooting at said school. Just look at what the Natty G wasdoing during the St Louis riots recently, just putting out fires, picking up trash from protestors and standing around waiting for cops to tell them what was going on.

can't understand u with all the troops in ur mouth (nonsexual)

Fact of the matter is, if the US military ever started shooting US citizens, it would most likely be drones popping milita-men in Idaho instead of minorities in Detroit

or US Citizens in Yemen, they HATE those guys
