American Sniper is tops at the box office but dont expect to see former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura lining up at a theater for it.
Ventura, a former Navy SEAL, won $1.8 million in a defamation lawsuit last year against the estate of the late Chris Kyle, the SEAL protagonist of the movie, which has sparked debate over whether snipers should be considered heroes. Ventura said Wednesday he wont see the film partly because Kyle is no hero to him.
"A hero must be honorable, must have honor. And you cant have honor if youre a liar. There is no honor in lying," Ventura told The Associated Press from his winter home in Baja California, Mexico. He also noted that the movie isnt playing there.

...but that’s NOT what senile ole Ron meant by it.....
Let him stay in Mexico. He is despicable.
no, libtardians are not all the same, but Paul bots are......and while those groups over lap, they are not purely the same....
UDT frogmen are. I looked it up and other Seals said they are so I stand corrected. After I looked up the definition and training of UDT frogmen that further clarified it. Regular frogmen no buy UDT yes.
The SEALS as we know them today were an important part of the Allied amphibious landings in Word War Two. They are a very small force that has been around for a long time.
Nevertheless......If the SEALs say he is, who are we to argue?
“UDT members are SEALs.”
Where did you get that?
IMO they are all the same. Your mileage may vary.
“I looked it up”
Where?
From SEALs themselves. Listen, I’m sorry if you don’t like that he is considered a SEAL, I don’t care for it either. But it is what it is.
“If the SEALs say he is, who are we to argue?”
WE are not embolden to celebrity status of Jesse the Pussy Ventura. At least I’m not.
“Unfortunately, he is a SEAL.”
How do you come to that conclusion?
“From SEALs themselves.”
Not by the Navy. He was never assigned as a SEAL. Maybe you have some frogs that want to make the claim because they like rubbing elbows with a celebrity, but not all frogs agree with it.
...then you would be wrong. Many of them are not even real libertarians - the glom onto one issue that is consistent, and then think they are.
About 80% of what Reagan believed was libertarian. John Stossel does not fit your mold. Rand and Ron actually go counter libertarian from time to time.
true that -
“If the SEALs say he is, who are we to argue?”
Consensus isn’t science and it doesn’t make a SEAL. Liberals use that consensus crap to claim global warming is real “because everyone agrees it is”. Some frogs letting Jesse get away with claiming to be a SEAL doesn’t make him one.
He worked as an Easter Seal.
I saw the film yesterday . . . awesome . . . this faggy boa makeup wearing jackass can go to hell.
