Insensitive and controversial, but is he technically wrong?
The reality is we never hear from all of those idiots that supported going to war in Iraq based on nonsense.
If people like Mr. Paul would have been listened to those men probably would have avoided this fate.
Mr. Paul was one of the few Republicans that saw the disastrous Iraqi war for what it turned out to be a quagmire that has destroyed the lives of thousands.
See the idiots who supported and cheered on the Iraqi war, never take accountability for their support of that war. They never step back and say we supported and cheered on a war that accomplished nothing and was based on lies and that has destroyed the lives of thousands of American soldiers including the man that killed Mr. Kyle and Mr. Littlefield.
These idiots who were so wrong about the Iraqi war will be the loudest expressing their condemnation at Mr. Paul.
But in this case Mr. Paul has a clear conscience. He opposed the war and they supported it.
He was right and they were wrong, and in the grand scheme of things that makes them far more responsible for the deaths of those two men and all of those broken soldiers.

All of the above -
What an insensitive thing to say!
Ya know, if people would just stop saying what they mean, everyone would get along much better.
High School drama courses should be MANDATORY for obtaining a High School diploma.
There's way too much emphasis being put on math and science.
Stating the obvious is inflammatory and not helpful.
And yes, thespians should be allowed to marry.

This should prove for good what an idiot Ron Paul is. There was no need for him to tweet such hurtful words. The man left a wife and 2 kids. If your kid dies violently, Ron, you foolish nutjob, I won't tweet that he deserved it because congress sucks.
Wow! Methinks Ron Paul is getting a little old and maybe onset of dementia. I have no problem with his statement but as even a FORMER politician and father of a son with lol ha ha ha Presidential Aspirations there is just some things you dont SAY IN FRIGGIN PUBLIC ON THE RECORD!!!
here's the thing-ron paul is honest.
do i think that "he who lives by the sword" line was appropriate right after the guy has been murdered? no, but i understand the rest of his statement, which is about treating PTSD at a gun range.
we don't know if that is what actually happened, since we only have media reports and no investigation yet (and we see how often they have been wrong with their initial conclusions), but, that said, it seems like it would be inappropriate to take a suffering vet to a gun range, and people react to information as it becomes available.
i have respect for dr. paul both as a physician and as a former serviceman, and it seems that a lot of the people who are trying to *****-slap dr. paul have never been either.
and honesty doesn't seem very popular in america anymore.
I apologize for Ron Paul not being politically correct enough for the pussified crowd here. The man tells it like he sees it.
My dad told it like he sees it and I tell it like I see it.
The man was a great shot and an asset to our armed forces, he did what he was told to do and did it well.
Now, he took it upon himself to treat a mental patient. His judgement was not as well as it should have been. #1 rule of survival on this earth, is to never let your guard down.
Who in their right mind, puts a gun in the hand of someone with known mental illness? This is the point that Ron Paul is making and I understand exactly where he is coming from.
