“I dont think a SEAL would lie about this.”
Sailors -never- lie. They tell sea stories. Kyle said he was on the Superdome on Katrina sniping looters. Said he gunned down two car jackers on highway 67 in Texas. Both of those were... lets just say, not supported by a shred of proof.
Go tell any Sailor or Marine that you are sure a sailor is as honest as a boy scout. Watch the laughter.
A sea story is one thing. “I killed Osama” in the national spotlight is quite another.
