How can you blame him? He proved in a court of law that Kyle lied about the alleged bar fight and won a substantial monetary victory. There was no one to blame in that fiasco but Kyle himself........
With that being said, Kyle also has a lot to account for in his personal statement of having allegedly killed two individuals that tried to hijack his truck at a roadside gas station outside Dallas back in January of 2009. An account that local police have been unable to verify, an account that local media never heard about and most importantly, an account that no family members of the alleged deceased have come forward wondering where their loved ones disappeared to.
Then there's Kyles claim of U.S. snipers being deployed to the Superdome during Hurricane Katrine and shooting 30 looters.......
Sorry, you can say what you want about Ventura but I'm not going out of my way to support a military hero whose accomplishments have been verified by the military but who found it necessary to embellish his legendary status by telling lies about events that that never happened in his civilian life...........
What you said
This is from the homosexuals at the Times/Picayune,have no idea if any of this is true:
Chris Kyle, the now-deceased Navy SEAL who is celebrated in Clint Eastwood’s movie “American Sniper” was a proved liar. Jesse Ventura, the former military man, wrestler and governor of Minnesota, sued Kyle before he died, claiming that he defamed Ventura in his memoir, “American Sniper.” Kyle claims to have punched out Ventura in a bar after Ventura bad-mouthed the troops who’d been sent to Iraq. Kyle was killed before the trial, but a jury determined that none of what he had written about Ventura was true and awarded Ventura $1.8 million.
Because he’s a proved liar, we should be awfully skeptical about Kyle’s claim that the U.S. government sent him into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. They perched him atop the Superdome, he said, and it was from there that he picked off 30 looters in the city.
A June 2014 Washington Post report about Kyle’s “unverifiable legacy” doesn’t outright call the celebrated sniper a liar, but it nudges the reader toward that conclusion. After including a quote from one of Kyle’s officers who said, “I never heard that story,” the Washington Post writes, “Does that mean it didn’t happen? Who knows. It’s certainly possible that Kyle... killed 30 armed assailants in New Orleans to protect its residents in Katrina’s aftermath. But it’s also possible Kyle couldn’t let go of his own legend, and, in a haze of post-traumatic stress, let his tales veer into untruth.”
I was slumming over at the DUmp the other day, (I know, I know.....but I took an acid bath after I left), and those DUmmies were ALL OVER Kyle. They used those 3 items, (among others), you posted and I just assumed it was the usual DU slander/crap/bullsqueeze/garbage. (I admit, right from the start I have not followed the Kyle story much. I do not know why, I just haven’t, but as far as I was/am concerned he was a 100% AMERICAN HERO!). So those 3 things you posted went down as you say? They really happened that way? He said he and others shot 30 Americans in New Orleans after Katrina? Or that he made car jacking thing? He didn’t deck Ventura? I hope you are joking with this. I hope to heck those jerks on the DUmp thread were making it up. I am completely confused right now with a very sick to my gut feeling. Please tell me you were just pulling our legs with your post.
