The book was written as if by a middle school boy. However, the guy wasn't an English major so what does one expect? I met him a few times in Ramadi--Sharkbase was right next to my hole in the wall. I resuscitated Ryan "Biggles" Job in Ramadi and Kyle was very grateful for our work on him. He seemed like a decent fellow to me. Kyle lived up the road from me, in Midlothian. the people I've talked with who knew him say the same. |

Would his book have sold fewer copies or not been made into a movie if he wasn't the deadliest sniper in US history? If so, then did really deserve for it to becomes a best seller and a movie? And if not, then why embellish? Regardless of your amazing accomplishments, if you then embellish them further you only serve to diminish what you did, not enhance it. |

I know nothing about whether he inflated his kills or not. That's not something that I've heard claimed about him, although I certainly don't pretend to be in the know. I was referring more to the shooting the carjackers story, or the Jesse Ventura thing, or the snipers in New Orleans stuff. |

Just another ARF cluster-FUBAR thread in GD.
Kyle wasn't a perfect person or author, but what he did deserves my respect and the senseless way he died was tragic. Earnhardt's death was a calculated risk and not senseless, or near as tragic (despite his worshipers tears). BTW... you'd think that Kyle was a Kardashian the way some refer to him around here. |

So Chris was a guy who got famous for being a cheating piece of shit.
And his death was a direct result of his cheating? I get your point, but would not compare the two in any way shape or form. |
