Your hero:

He drove cars at them at high speed to see them get scared: “Their high-pitched screams, coupled with sprints in the opposite direction, had me doubled over. Cheap thrills in Iraq were priceless,” he wrote in his memoir. He bragged about stealing from their homes against orders. He compared them to American welfare recipients in their dependency and inability to handle freedom.

“On the front of my arm, I had a crusader cross inked in,” he wrote. “I wanted everyone to know I was a Christian. I had it put in in red, for blood. I hated the damn savages I’d been fighting. I always will. They’ve taken so much from me.”

“I don’t shoot people with Korans — I’d like to, but I don’t.”[/quote]

Can you please show me Chris Kyle saying this? If in writing, the context is needed. If on video, the whole interview.

His autobiography (if this link works, it's to the autobiography on Google Books):

The PP typed a paragraph to diminish Kyle. I'm asking for the context surrounding it.  I know it's in the biography, but it means nothing without the context. Since the PP gave us a snippet with intent to defile the man's name,

Given Kyle spoke of zones that had been already cleared and thus, only the enemy remained (and given Kyle's last line in the PPs quoted statement, I believe that to be the context) I see nothing wrong with his statements PP posted.

The part about not shooting people with Korans - now why do you suppose Kyle could have shot them but refrained? That doesn't sound like a man unhinged.

I'm asking the PP to provide context. If that individual hadn't used the statements Kyle made specifically to diminish him, I would not care.[/quote]
