The guy’s dead. Jesse’s had his say. To keep beating on it is to keep beating on a dead guy who can’t answer back. That is neither a smart nor an honorable course of action. IMHO, of course.
Yes, because a public incident in a public bar never has any witnesses, and of course a surviving wife and millions of dollars cannot find the friends and comrades of Mr Kyle to stand up and speak on his behalf.
Sorry, not buying your argument. I grew up in a military family, and witnesses would have been lining up out to the door to testifyl on behalf of a comrade in arms if the events went down like Kyle described for him.
