This could be a hypothetical discussion between a group of snipers. . . talking about how easy it would be for snipers to get a handle the looting problem in NOLO. Put a squad of them on the Superdome roof and start taking them out. This could have been overheard and then confabulated into the story that it actually happened. . . and someone decided to give it some verisimilitude by converting it into a conversation with Chris Kyle. After all, if HE said it, it MUST be true, RIGHT? There is no guarantee that the guy quoting him is honest, is there? Or the guy quoting the guy quoting Kyle? Too far removed from Kyle. . . who cannot defend or explain what he said.
Brandon Webb, one of Kyle’s SEAL sniper school instructors, is one of two men who claim Kyle told them the story. According to their accounts, it wasn’t a hypothetical, and it wasn’t something Kyle heard about. It was something Kyle said he’d done. Webb said Kyle was so convincing that he believed him, and it was only after he began to think about it that he began to realize how implausible the story was.
