The “conventional wisdom” says former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle was tragically shot and killed by a former soldier suffering from PTSD.
But perhaps there’s another version of the story no one wants to talk about. What if Routh had been converted to militant Islam in Iraq and sought Kyle out as retribution?
There are some disturbing facts about Routh you most likely will have never read.
According to The Warfighter Foundation, it is highly unlikely Routh suffered from PTSD because he never served in battle.
“Eddie Routh served one tour in Iraq in 2007, at Balad Air Base (the 2nd largest U.S. installation in Iraq), with no significant events. No combat experience. Let me say that again, he NEVER SAW COMBAT or any aspect of traumatic events associated with a combat deployment (i.e. incoming mortar or rocket fire). He never left the base, EVER.”
The Warfighter Foundation is a non-profit organization that used the Freedom of Information act to learn more about Routh’s history.
“[Routh] held a non-combat arms occupation of 2111 (Small Arms Repairer/ Technician or more commonly referred to as an Armorer),” the group reported. “Balad Air Base had a Pizza Hut, 24 hour Burger King, Subway, Popeye’s, Baskin Robbins, movie theater, and even a miniature golf course. It even had a strictly enforced 10 mile per hour speed limit!”
While Routh never served in battle, he did work as a prison guard overseeing Muslim terrorists at Bilad Airbase. Walid Shoebat posits that Routh could have interacted with the inmates and perhaps converted to Islam.
While there is no proof of any conversion, Shoebat says “During a phone call with his father, Routh expressed sympathy for the detainees and discontent over how the US was conducting the war as well as his reluctance to engage in combat” and “While working as a guard at Balad Air Base, Routh laments his [Muslim] prisoners’ poor living conditions.”
Shoebat says, “It is a known fact that Routh’s family contacted Kyle about their son’s diminishing mental health. Routh was admitted to inpatient psychiatric treatment prior to the events at Rough Creek Ranch, according to a report from the Daily Mail.”
But being a nut is different than suffering from PTSD.
Shoebat says, “Routh had been taken to a mental hospital twice in the past five months and told authorities that he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, police records show.”
However, just saying you have PTSD is also different than actually being diagnosed. While Routh may indeed suffered mental problems, PTSD may not have been one of them.
Nonetheless, the media will continue to focus on PTSD, which further casts doubt on our veterans and weakens our resolve for battle.
But the last thing the media would ever consider is that Routh could have been a convert to Islam. It’s an interesting and discomfiting theory.
And then there’s the matter of his beard with trimmed moustache. Of course we can’t engage in profiling, but…
What if he was assassinated by our own government?
Let’s try to force feed the guy a ham sandwich.See how he reacts.
0dumbo wanted Kyle dead, just like the nearly 20 SEALs placed aboard one helicopter and sent to their deaths in Aug 2011. That was no accident either.
With that I do agree.
Bingo. The same inner circle who released 5 Yemeni terrorists from Guantanamo ONE WEEK AFTER YEMENI-TRAINED TERRORISTS ATTACKED PARIS.
I, for one ,wouldn’t be surprised.
Things are not adding up according to this article. Routh may not be who he first seemed to be, as details come out.
***POSSIBLE MOVIE SPOILER***
At the very end of the movie, Kyle exits his house to meet "a guy whose mom said he needed help" and you see Taya, his wife, peeking out the door. There's a shot of the "guy" standing beside a truck, waiting for Kyle to join him. The scene fades with Taya looking anxiously, suspiciously at the "guy", while slowly closing the door. My first thought was, "Is he a Muslim?" Whether intentional or not on director Clint Eastwood's part, I don't know. But that was definitely the impression that I was left with.
I think Routh is just a schizoid nutjob.
“What if he was assassinated by our own government?”
That idea, and the idea that his killer was actually a moslem, has floated around in my head for quite awhile now. Neither would surprise me in the least. Who knows, he might have been a moslem convert recruited by the grubermint to do exactly what he did.
With your post you cannot be more correct or more direct.
Col West, you are listening to FreeRepublic and we need a leader to take our country back.
We are tired of losing our heroes to a Muslim leader who is trying to destroy this country.
Organize it and we will come....
What are you, a Yemeniphobe?? </s>
The government could have used him as a drugged dupe to pull off an assignation also.
Michele Hickford sounds like she’s spent a lot of time in a war zone./
Make no mistake, its a dicey business to start deciding who has PTSD and who doesn’t. There are very few risk free jobs there. And even though it makes no sense, many grunts come out less messed up than some others who would objectively seem to have done nothing. The bad guy here also was deployed post earthquake to Haiti and had a lot of dealings with dead kid bodies.
Grunts are somehow stronger. I think its better unit cohesion and esprit de corps and higher overall morale. But its a fact that elite units have less of the PTSD than lower. They get stress differently. He just went off his nut. We do nothing good for anyone by making it more than it was.
Sometimes it is as simple as a nut wants your pickup. Hard to understand, but it really is.
“And then there’s the matter of his beard with trimmed moustache.”
Look at his picture. Go to Texas and you’ll see that look everywhere honey.
It’s been my theory that Kyles murder was a hit.
I don’t know about that. Maybe yes, maybe no. What I do know is that we don’t have a shortage of murderous nuts in this country ... even when they are not Muslim. There are so many murderous crazies around!
Would’nt doubt it a bit.
I have thought this was a hit from the get go, glad everybody is catching on...
