That level of lying is wrong by most moral standards. Carjacking story falls in his favour, both legally and morally? In what universe? Legally, if true, he executed two people without any legal process. No trial, no conviction. That is legally indefensibly. And as for morally, he is on even shakier ground. Is this the law of the Hollywood old west, where the man with the quickest draw is king? That is a morally warped world view. This afternoon I read the opening chapters of American Sniper. Any of you who haven't should. You get a real picture of the man from his own words, and it is not a nice picture. He was a deeply biased and racist man, who had a xenophobic hatred of non-Americans. His killing was motivated out of a sheer pleasure in killing 'savages'. Two days ago I suspected the guy was a monster. Now I am convinced.

What point are you trying to make here? If there was no sun it would be cold. Just to finish it is their commitment that makes you a free man ina free country. Show some respect and be somewhat grateful and stop living in a fantasy world. As I said in another post. Adam and Eve screwed up what you want a long time ago.

Do you also feel we don't need soldiers? That soldiers are bad and are the cause of wars? When a terrorist comes knocking on your door try handing him a flower and say "welcome"...see how that works. Maybe they will behead you...but who needs soldiers? You and landmark can talk to the enemy. Send them a text and say that you understand how they feel. Tell them you hate our soldiers because they kill people who are trying to kill us. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

Asking you people out there that feel Chris is a bad guy. Would you pull the trigger on the executioners who beheaded all of those people? Or do you feel it is wrong?

Yes I would. But I wouldn't shoot people from the top of the Superdome. I wouldn't even make up lies about it.

Why is it those who seem to think criminals need understanding are unwilling to understand this man? Where is all that tolerance and understanding we give to enemies?

Chris definitely had issues. I have no idea of his private hell. But I have experienced things that make one say and do things that we regret upon reflection.

For thirty years the terrorists and the army/police fought, and thousands were killed, most innocent non-combatants. Probably like several of Kyle's victims if we were to analyze each kill. Levels of hatred and bigotry were so high here Kyle would have fitted right in. Then we changed our approach. Instead of snipping at each other, and bombing each other, and killing women and children, we sat down and talked. We stopped seeking retribution. And within about three years we had peace, prosperity, old enemies working side by side in friendship. What thirty years of violence and bloodshed couldn't achieve, three years of dialog achieved. Soldiers and terrorists talking, and trying to understand one another, works. That's fact, not speculation.
