American Sniper is tops at the box office, but don't 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 won't see the film partly because Kyle is no hero to him.

I’m not sure why, but when I thought of Jesse Ventura, this Dirty Harry scene came to mind:

He was UDT before the SEAL program started. Back in the Vietnam days
Lets not forget why Chris Kyle decked Jesse in that bar.
Because Jesse said more American troops deserved to die.
EXCELLENT
So very wrong. Travis probably gets tired of typing out the explanation.
He was UDT. Not a SEAL.
Jesse Ventura, character assassin of dead heroes. There won’t be a movie honoring his sorry ass.
It’s stuck in the AP story by reporter Steve Karnowsk.
Send comments to the Associated Press.
In the rented 20,000 acre arena, those who consider Kyle a hero.
That ought to get Jesse into a real un-Seal-like whining mood...
Jesse insists on pushing this.If he’s not careful,some ex-military type will fixate on him with lethal results.
Ventura is the human equivalent of a slime mold, but he's not as bright. He has the virtue of a child molester and the valor of Judas Iscariot.
You guys should get jobs at MSNBC from all the inaccurate, second hand, and down right hateful stuff being said about Ventura. I am no fan of his but the guy was a member of UDT which preceded Seals in Vietnam so he deserves better. Who here thinks Kyle walked on water? From the way I see it Kyle was more full of himself than Ventura, which is pretty hard to do.
Jesse Ventura ia a conspiracy obsessed psycho. BTW, how’s that TV show working out for ya Jess?
Don’t worry the way jesse is digging he’s going to push through in China any second. I don’t understand why anyone pays attention to him........................you know like the attention he get’s here.
LMAO!!
And I thought of him being blown away in PREDATOR. He proved Arnold was the better actor.
/*I despised Ventura BEFORE all of this crap surfaced.
Kyle—more full of himself than Ventura? You can’t possibly be serious.
