I hate the damn savages. I couldn’t give a flying fuck about the Iraqis.
Chris Kyle, US Navy Seal from Texas who bragged about killing 255 Iraqis in his memoir.
(AKA the “hero” of the movie American Sniper)
What makes his kill-count even more horrifying is that only 160 of his kills are confirmed by the American military. He bloated the numbers himself as some sort of psychotic bragging right. And if that doesn’t outrage you consider this— some of those those 255 kills supposedly include American civilians which he claimed to have killed— like New Orleans residents during Hurricane Katrina. Basically, Chris Kyle seemed to have saw “the enemy” as any and all non-white people.
Or let’s consider the two men he claimed to have killed when they attempted to steal his truck. Which also goes completely unconfirmed. Because nothing says “hero” more than purported vigilante justice and then covering it up. Because that’s what innocent men of justice do, right?
But this is all coming from the guy who claimed to have punched out Jesse Ventura at a bar. A story confirmed as being untrue and resulting in a defamation suit from Ventura— which he won.
So basically this “American Hero” was a guy who really, really enjoyed telling very American tall-tales to reinforce his “badass” image.
