Brandon Webb, one of Kyle’s sniper school instructors, recently talked about when Kyle told him the story about shooting people during Katrina. He said that Kyle was so convincing that he believed him.
He said it was only later that he really thought about how improbable the story was.
My brother got up from the table at some joint in San Diego years ago to go to the john- while he was gone his buddies [a mix of SEALs and local police, had convinced the waitress serving their table that he was a “Navy assassin.” Evidently she was a bit of a lib and they thought they would entertain themselves by seeing how stupid she was. They told her how many kills he’d racked up, and she believed every word.
My brother knew nothing of their little set up of the gal and when he returned to the table the gal brings their drinks and then glares at him real hard, and she blurts out, “So how do you like your job?”
My brother, a special boat guy thinking of how much he liked the boats responded immediately “This is the best damn job I’ve ever had!”
She spit out some venomous comment and stormed off leaving him wondering what that was all about while his buddies laughed.
