Though I dont think Jessie Ventura is all that, I dont think Chris Kyle was all that either. I thank Chris for serving our country, but he was not as great as he and the public thought/thinks he was.

Don't upset the hyper-patriots that are blind to facts. Chris Kyle has a sniper nest above the throne of God sniping demons daily.

He had the highest kill count by any Us military sniper to date, confirmed by the military. No one ever said Kyle was better then anyone else, nor has he ever said that himself. there are many untold stories of military heroics. And some we will never know about. everyone who has ever been to war (myself included) have done things , and sacrificed a lot. but generally most of us dont brag about it. I dont think Kyle had the intention of Bragging about his exploits overseas. He just wanted to tell his story and those he served with. So others that have never been there would feel a sense of how **** was over there. Same goes for Marcus Latrell , and my friend David Bellavia who has a book and , his book is being made into a Movie coming out soon. Called House to House Operation Phantom Fury. About his time in the 1st Infantry Division during the Battle of Falluja in 2004. David should have been awarded the Medal of Honor, but they only gave him a MSM and silver star.Not my intent to upset anyone or take anything away from Kyle. He was good, did his job, but so are the many thousands of service men and women that have served in the past or are serving presently.
Kyle was a patriot. He did a lot after his combat tours to try to help rehab fellow soldiers. That's what I will remember about him.
As far as the Ventura thing, Kyle told the story of an incident in a bar, wherein he punched a bad mouther in the face. He never actually named Ventura. That's what sunk the case in a superior court.
He did name Ventura on the Opie and Anthony radio show as "scruff face" from the book who he knocked out or whatever
Right but Im sure the lawyers crawfished that one right out the door. Bummer for Jesse, it def was character assassination for book sales/monies.
There's little chance the events actually happened, imho
........ I will point out Ventura among a lot of folks sullied his reputation all by himself.
Definitely. I put him in the same box as Alex Jones. I feel they both have earned some degree of merit, but the hype they practice to further their notoriety makes me a little embarrassed for them (I seem to remember them doing a show together on the FEMA camp/disposable coffin thing).
Actually, I'm pretty certain Jesse's reaction to and actions against the whole Kyle thing has left a pretty nice blemish on his....approval rating.
