Read the rest of the quote - "Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn’t make sense." Paul's right on that one.
I agree on this point. I heard earlier on CNN his friend being interviewed and how he talked the PTSD soldier into going to the firing range to blow off steam. I thought, wth? Blow off steam from PTSD by shooting at the fire range? That doesn't compute.
Gun range or combat, or even driving to work, he put his life out there in the service of Americans who couldn't or wouldn't. He deserves the respect from serving America, even from those who sit on their butts and complain online without spending a second actually doing anything at all to help anyone.
The more you type the more the VA needs to look at your mental health.
When you make stuff up and then defend it, there is a screw loose.

It makes sense.
Someone that is hyper masculine trying to help someone with a mental illness that is also probably hyper masculine.
Not really the comments that need to be made about an American hero.
He did his job. Just because he was in the military doesn't automatically make him a hero.

Never...the military is made up of young people without direction and or money...most of them become lifers or at least stay for a very long time.

That is such a cliche statement...that makes no sense for two reasons.
1) I don't know what world you are living in, but we are losing our freedoms.
2) He didn't die in activity duty...he died because he was foolish.

I didn't say he didn't deserve respect. You need to do a better job of separating your emotions from your thinking. What I said is that he didn't protect any American's freedoms on the battlefield in Iraq.

Paul never said anything remotely like your link title suggests.
“As a veteran, I certainly recognize that this weekend’s violence and killing of Chris Kyle were a tragic and sad event. My condolences and prayers go out to Mr. Kyle’s family. Unconstitutional and unnecessary wars have endless unintended consequences. A policy of non-violence, as Christ preached, would have prevented this and similar tragedies.” – Dr. Ron Paul
