A sincere statement of grief and apology to the family of the murdered guy would have been more appropriate, but people have been quoting that particular saying for hundreds of years for a reason...
He knows the guy had zero intergrity when he went after Jesse. Ron and Jesse are friends. Neither of them suffer fools lightly.
He died for American freedoms, and Paul denigrates his sacrifice. What a monster who doesn't really care about those who are willing to pay the ultimate price to protect the freedoms he likes to rant about. Paul has never even tried to do the same.
"He died for American freedoms..."
lmao you think American wars are started to preserve our freedom? Are you really that naive?

He didn't protect a single freedom of an American on a battlefield in Iraq and he didn't die protecting anyone's freedoms at that gun range. What happened is tragic but there is no need to concoct these fantasies in order to make this situation seem any more tragic.
Sorry, you haven't served your country either...yet seem to spout off about freedoms in America others fought for.
Must be nice enjoying the freedom other people put their lives on the line for. I am glad I wasn't that lazy.
Froze my ass off in the Bering Sea aboard the Cutter Hamilton, keeping your ass and this nation free, while you went off and fought someone else's war, like an idiot serving a King.
My dad fought someone else's war in Korea and Vietnam and lost a lot of buddies in the process...
Yes, my dad got me into the Coast Guard for his own reasons. I thanked him Saturday, at his funeral with full honors.

The military does not protect our freedoms, the people and the Constitution do that. I've asked before for examples of "freedoms" of Americans that were protected through our invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and have gotten no intelligent responses. It's simply a bumper sticker slogan people repeat when they have no thoughts of their own.
The OP left out the most important sentence. Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense. https://twitter.com/ronpaul/

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.
