"I enjoyed killing people. The more outrageous and unjust the murders were, the more I felt something. A man without any conscience craves feelings … any kinda feelings.
I killed for some feelings. I lost count at 165 kills, but I guess it’s been a bunch.
I’m not asking for a pity party. All I wanted in Iraq was to continue murdering without anyone but my handlers in intelligence … my cover … and my comrades knowing about it."

I've studied with a grief counselor and this is what I have learned so far.
Although everybody needs to be the best counselor, a counselor is not responsible for the results. A therapist tried to take the attitude that he has been blessed with certain skills and he is to use those skills to the best of his ability to be of maximum service to those who have been placed in his care. At the end of the day, if he has performed to the best of his ability, then he has done all he could do – thus, the therapist has no residual stress – and he can sleep well.
Same concept applies to the profession of a soldier.
They have to be present in the here and now to their families and friends. when they recognize that their skills are a gift that they have been blessed with, then they are much less prone to feel that their professional title makes them apart from others. They are different in that they are all different. They all have abilities of one form or another, each useful to others if used appropriately.
My own brother was a peace time Force Recon who has done several ops overseas. If I remember this correctly, they have psychological evaluation after each and every operation. The people who are not operation capable would have been processed out. You cannot be trigger happy, nor can you feel guilty for what you have done. It is what it is.
War is a dirty business. Your enemies are savages who deserve to die. At the same time, you follow strict rules of engagement to prevent you from being trigger happy.

well, it is obvious to me that the battle between Chris Kyle's wife and Jesse Ventura is over. It should be that way. A widow has the right to grieve. She is not subject to useless, ruthless, mean spirited speculation.
Mom told me "If you want to pick on somebody, pick on somebody your own size." I am a girl who is 117lb, but I would not pick on a dead man's wife with even words. Chris Kyle is not even here to defend himself anymore. Okay?

Slander has been known to cause collateral damage.
Sometimes it explodes with anti-slander.
For every slander, there is an equal and opposite, anti-slander. (Sometimes)
