Jesse Ventura: Chris Kyle Is No Hero, He's a Liar
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | 28 Jan 15 | AP

Posted on 01/29/2015 12:21:25 PM PST by seanmerc

American Sniper is tops at the box office, but don't expect to see former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura lining up at a theater for it.

Ventura, a former Navy SEAL, won $1.8 million in a defamation lawsuit last year against the estate of the late Chris Kyle, the SEAL protagonist of the movie, which has sparked debate over whether snipers should be considered heroes. Ventura said Wednesday he won't see the film partly because Kyle is no hero to him.

Lets not forget why Chris Kyle decked Jesse in that bar.
Because Jesse said more American troops deserved to die.

The good Lord does not like punks going after widows.

Guess we will just have to believe that lying ass Ventura, Chris Kyle isn’t here to defend himself or his honor, how convenient for Ventura.

Ventura jumped on this because A. he was knocked on his behind by Kyle and B. Ventura wants to keep his face/name connected to the “Sniper” issue so he himself does not lose credibility.

“So very wrong. Travis probably gets tired of typing out the explanation.”

Wrong?

Hardly

Ventura served in the United States Navy from December 1, 1969, to September 10, 1975, during the Vietnam War era. He graduated in BUD/S class 58 in December 1970 and was part of Underwater Demolition Team 12.

“I am no fan of his but the guy was a member of UDT which preceded Seals in Vietnam so he deserves better. “

Oh he’s lost that a LONG time ago. Even before he started slandering Americans in combat.

Jesse Ventura appeared with CNN’s Piers Morgan attacking America’s use of military contractors: “They don’t follow any of the rules of war, they’re mercenaries, and that’s what we’re turning into today. Our military has turned into contract killers now, contract for hire.”

“Kyle—more full of himself than Ventura? You can’t possibly be serious.”

A man who did 4 tours in combat as compared to a man who never saw combat, lied about being a SEAL, wore a boa, and thinks 9/11 was an American conspiracy?

"From the way I see it Kyle was more full of himself than Ventura, which is pretty hard to do."

How many war widows did Kyle sue?

The generals were right about that sort of thing to begin with (in the ‘50s and early ‘60s). Such vanity is a disgrace and a weakness. The buddy backstabbing is even seen in politics now. Disgusting.

Do you think, perhaps, that Mr. Ventura has earned that badge?

Ventura, being sub-human, has no concept of what a hero is.
