Here is the quote that shameless scumbags like themoreyouknow-steven are deliberately taking our of context, because either they had it fed to them by some leftwing resource and are too lazy to actually look it up for themselves, or they flat out like to libel someone because they are purely dishonest:
It was my duty to shoot, and I don’t regret it. The woman was already
dead. I was just making sure she didn’t take any Marines with her.
It was clear that not only did she want to kill them, but she didn’t
care about anybody else nearby who would have been blown up by the
grenade or killed in the firefight. Children on the street, people in the
houses, maybe her child …
She was too blinded by evil to consider them. She just wanted
Americans dead, no matter what.
My shots saved several Americans, whose lives were clearly worth
more than that woman’s twisted soul. I can stand before God with a
clear conscience about doing my job. But I truly, deeply hated the evil
that woman possessed. I hate it to this day.
Savage, despicable evil. That’s what we were fighting in Iraq. That’s
why a lot of people, myself included, called the enemy “savages.” There
really was no other way to describe what we encountered there.
People ask me all the time, “How many people have you killed?”
My standard response is, “Does the answer make me less, or more, of a
man?”
The number is not important to me. I only wish I had killed more.
Not for bragging rights, but because I believe the world is a better
place without savages out there taking American lives. Everyone I shot
in Iraq was trying to harm Americans or Iraqis loyal to the new
government.
I had a job to do as a SEAL. I killed the enemy—an enemy I saw
day in and day out plotting to kill my fellow Americans. I’m haunted
by the enemy’s successes. They were few, but even a single American
life is one too many lost.
So, as you can see, Kyle was clearly calling ‘the enemy’ “savages;” not all Iraqis. He even defined it which I bolded above. Of course, for the layman liberal that hasn’t grasped simple elementary school reading comprehension skills, this seems to be very hard to fathom.
Next, let’s address the assertion that Kyle thought killing was fun:
I loved what I did. I still do. If circumstances were different—if my
family didn’t need me—I’d be back in a heartbeat. I’m not lying or exaggerating
to say it was fun. I had the time of my life being a SEAL.
People try to put me in a category as a bad-ass, a good ol’ boy, asshole,
sniper, SEAL, and probably other categories not appropriate for
print. All might be true on any given day. In the end, my story, in Iraq
and afterward, is about more than just killing people or even fighting
for my country.
It’s about being a man. And it’s about love as well as hate.
Eventually, the insurgents might be able to get enough men together that I couldn’t kill them all.
Not that I wouldn’t have had fun trying.
Even with the pain, I loved what I was doing. Maybe war isn’t really fun, but I certainly was enjoying it. It suited me.
I loved killing bad guys.
So, Kyle was not stating he loved killing Iraqis but rather that he loved his job and killing “bad guys,” which again were the insurgents in Iraq - not the Iraq civilians.
The problem with pacifists like this idiot above, is that they don’t understand why soldiers volunteer to serve their country in the first place and how people like Kyle can keep returning to active tours. It just doesn’t compute in their tiny brains. They label this as propaganda as if every person that reads this book or watches this movie has the testicular fortitude to not only risk their necks like Kyle did in Iraq, but also be as successful as he was. Perhaps, it was his love for country, his love for his job as a SEAL, and his love for his fellow soldiers that made him successful; because it sure as hell wasn’t some kind of fabricated bigoted bloodlust that these cowardly liberals love to paint about this fallen hero.
Happy Chris Kyle Day Everyone!
