“But was it the right thing to do? Was it honorable or was it about the $$$?”
From what I can tell, somebody slandered Jesse Ventura under the pretext to profit from book sales that resulted in increased book sales and rendering Jesse a pariah among’st his peers.
What else is relevant?
Do you really think this veiled reference to Ventura in the book had anything to do with book sales?
Your original post said you like Jesse. Why?
Jesse isn’t mentioned by name in the book.
I don't know if the punch ever happened or if Kyle mistook what Ventura said or if Ventura actually did say those awful things.
His beef was with Chris Kyle, not his widow.
The right thing to do when Kyle was murdered was to issue a statement saying that he stands by his claim that it didn't happen the way Kyle said it did, but that the lawsuit is retracted because going after widows and orphans is wrong for decent men to do.
Heck, even the mafia doesn't go after wives and kids.
It’s not slander if it is true. I believe Chris Kyle.
