After seeing what ISIS did to that Jordanian pilot today, I think I would rather enjoy looking at a few of those MF's through the crosshairs of a scope. But according to some, those savages are the kind of people you could/should reason with. How much do you want to bet that if offered the chance to go try and negotiate a peace deal with ISIS, Tony would swiftly decline. Or he would demand protection from those he has no respect for. I am sure ISIS would have far less respect for you than you have for the Soldiers who would stand up and protect you in that situation. Your stage name sums you up pretty good Mr. Bologna.

Leaving early tomorrow morning for A.C. to play some Poker. Will be gone for a few days. Not sure how many. That is the good news. The bad news is I will be back. Going there in a $50,000 Caddy and returning in a $500,000 bus?

He was calling the enemy that. He may well have made friends with the locals himself, I don't know. But he was obviously just as outraged by innocent Iraqi's being killed by suicide bombers as he was at other horrors he saw. |

The ghost brings your story alive on the page, because most people tell their own story dully. But the ghost doesn't put words in your mouth. If Kyle said that he enjoys killing people, that came from him. There is no dancing around that. A ghost will tone down certain things. He will tone down racism and homophobia, extreme left or right wing views, etc. Misogyny. Anything that would affect book sales and make the 'author' of the book come across as a jerk. But that doesn't mean he tones down the story. If anything he will heighten the action, tone down the attitude. That is the job. As you would have seen had you continued to work with the ghost. Did he make up anything in what he sent back to you? Or did he just amplify your story? Acesover, Chris Kyle is not an 'American Hero'. He shot people at a distance from hiding. Snipers are unfortunately a necessary part of a war, but they are not heroes. America has plenty of genuine heroes without idolising killing machines like Kyle. I have no axe to grind against America, which I consider to be a great country. Would I bet my life on Kyle having said he enjoys killing? It is a meaningless question. I know he said those words, because they are in his book, and I am intimately familiar with how these books are prepared. If they were not his words, slipped in by an unscrupulous publisher as some would like to think, then he could have injuncted the book before publication, or sued for defamation afterwards. Of course, he didn't. Rockwall, Christ Kyle had a full book to express his sympathy for the people of the land he was occupying. It is a bit late for you to add those views on his behalf now.

Yea you missed the point totally lol.
Tony you can not speak definitively on his words or not. You sound silly. Having participated on one project in no way makes you an expert on this book.

All I can speak to is the ghosting process, after participating in six, not one, projects. Knowing how the process works gives me an insight into what is what on a printed page. Most of the others - aside from William Anderson - are outside the process. I have been inside the process. A statement that he enjoyed killing in the opening chapter could only have come from Kyle, with his approval for its appearance in the book. If the book had been published posthumously then some interference could have crept in. But it wasn't; it came out in his lifetime with his full approval. Those are HIS words. Don't shoot the messenger.

Danny, if you know something about the ghost-writing business, please share. Otherwise you are just an uninformed blow-hard.
William Anderson at least based his opinion on direct knowledge, which I can respect.

You have no direct knowledge of this process. So respecting your opinion of it is then useless and by your own standards makes you nothing more than an uninformed blowhard. Which we knew.
As for ghost writing yea I spent months with one interviewing me for a project about a friend of mine. I have not written it but dealt with them so maybe getting your facts straight should be more of a priority for you. Being a writer and all. You are so blinded by ideology it is almost comical.

Danny, you are more full of s//t than usual, which is saying something. No direct knowledge of this process - I do it for a living. Unlike you.
There are few more blind than a closed-minded patriot.

Have you not noticed that I have not defended the man? Go back and read. Then take out your ideology and just read.
You did not write THIS PROJECT so you have no clue about the specifics. Just like those of us who also did not write it. I am full of it and you speak in absolutes as if you were there. It is your own bs you are smelling. And as usual it is rampant. You were already called on xenophobic and the other stuff. Now you know what was and wasn't poetic license. Laughable. Now you think somehow I am defending the man when indeed I did no such thing. Seems as if facts don't really matter much to you. I hope you write fiction.

Tony has a tendency to universalize his own experiences.

I have noticed this. Then he makes accusations when others don't share that and can't imagine why one would disagree.

American Sniper Challenge Coin, I've managed to hang on to a few of the coins I've come across.
There is a quasi-underground project to support deployed snipers via raffles, fund raising, and donations. Challenge Coins represent a certain aspect of that goal. |
