[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts are disgusting. I hope all of you who can sit here and spend time trashing a deceased veteran who fought in 4 tours to defend this very country you live in, NEVER have a love one die in the hands of a terrorist.

But I wish we could lift you out of your comfy chair and throw you in the middle of Iraq. You would all be begging for help from a vet like him.

Honestly shocked. Repulsed. Amazed how crappy our vets are treated.

You should really, really read that National Review article I linked above. And I have never, ever suggested that anyone read anything in the National Review before. Wherein a conservative writer and lawyer wonders:

"More important, however, it demonstrates a worrisome level of blind hero worship. The idea that, because Kyle served his country bravely and honorably, he was therefore always honorable in all aspects of his life, and can do no wrong, ever, is preposterous. As Pocket Full of Liberty’s editor Skyler Mann wondered: 'Not about Chris Kyle in particular but the hullaboo makes me wonder: if a veteran does something super sh**** is it OK because s/he’s a vet?'"

he had PTSD, dis-attachment and then turned to alcohol. He wrote the memoirs to stop the night terrors.  It was healing. People are ripping apart his life.  He wasn't perfect.  Never claimed to be.   He turned himself around and formed a charity for PTSD and helped out others like him.

He isn't some low life loser killing, thieving, raping, sucking money from the government.  If a few wrong or embellished stories come up,  wont change the fact of what he did.  Saved American soldiers lives.  He deserves respect and peace.  So does his family.  [/quote]
