Chris Kyle
January 20, 2015 at 7:12 pm
The Navy Seal who supposedly killed a shit-load of bad guys now has a movie out about him. This is the same guy who made up a lot of BS stories like punching-out Jesse Ventura and murdering a bunch of looters in New Orleans after Katrina along with his buddy atop the Superdome. He's also the same guy who got murdered by a fellow veteran suffering from PTSD who he took to a firing range.
Take a guy suffering from PTSD to a firing range? Am I the only one who thinks that isn't such a good idea?
I don't know what to think about this guy. As a former military member myself, I honor his service to this county. At the same time, he seems like a freaking nut. What do you think?

Normal people think war is hell. The ones who seem to like it are untrustworthy.

Yeah, when he got killed and I heard that the shooting range was "therapy" for the PTSD, I thought to myself that would be about as therapeutic as smearing crap on an open wound.

That's very good. I guess that succinctly sums up my feelings about Chris Kyle. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but those are my feelings as well.

I look forward to seeing the film, though my only qualm are the right wing nuts who think the killing of 150+ human beings warrants a celebration.

I'm still trying to decide who's better looking, Chris Kyle, or Brad Cooper done up as Chris Kyle.
Jesus, I just want to throw my heels up in the air and see which one can last longer.
