Did he quit the military for a better job?

That makes him very unappealing to many.
I think he is very much a politician.

But he was a totally lousy therapist.

Your comment begs the question: Was that traumatized vet who shot Kyle a hero or a villain? Wasn't he also one of the good guys when he came back home? He, too, was honorably discharged.

I have no idea. I know he wrote a book. My point is that he wasn't killed because he lived by the sword. He was killed by an unhinged mental case. His death was no more due to living by the sword than were the deaths at Sandy Hook. Ron Paul was factually wrong in his statement.

Better yet, understand why the U.S. Navy pays royalties to Godsmack.

This is no longer about justice.
This is about control.

Everyone has an opinion. It may differ from yours. Get over it and move on.
Truth always cuts deeper than lies. I have not known Ron Paul to lie.... Have you?

Amen. Chris Kyle was a decent man who did the job he was sent to do in order to keep his fellow soldiers safe. How can anyone fault that, that has any sense of right and wrong, as well as, a sense of decency to his family and especially to his wife and children.

He didn't go over there and kill all those people and come back stateside and go on a rampage. I sure would hate to be in a foxhole with some of you people....whooeeee !
