Saturday evening in Texas....day'um shame, unexplainable.

Most confirmed kills ever....fine American Warrior.




"""Chris Kyle, known as “the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history,” was reportedly shot and killed at the Rough Creek Lodge in Glen Rose, Texas on Saturday.

Kyle, a former Navy SEAL sniper and author of the best-seller “American Sniper,” and a friend were found dead at the Rough Creek Lodge shooting range. According to WWFA-TV in Dallas, “Kyle was shot point-blank while helping another soldier who is recovering from post traumatic stress syndrome.”

The Empire Tribune in Stephenville, Texas reports that the suspect, Eddie Ray Routh, was captured in the town of Lancaster around 9:00 p.m. Law enforcement officials believe Routh is a “highly trained individual with military experience.”

Jack Murphy at the Special Operations Forces Situation Report (SOFREP) published a post regarding the tragic murders on Saturday night, reading in part: “Chris had been volunteering his time to help Marine Corps veterans suffering from PTSD and mentoring them. Part of this process involved taking these veterans to the range where one of them snapped and killed Chris and his neighbor for reasons that remain unknown at this time. The perpetrator then stole Chris’ vehicle in an attempt to escape but we have received word that the police have arrested him.”

Nicknamed “The Devil of Ramadi” by insurgents, Kyle served four tours of duty in Iraq and had 160 confirmed kills as a sniper. He made news last January when he alleged that he punched former Minnesota governor and show-wrestler Jesse Ventura when Ventura made disparaging comments about dead Navy SEALs.

Kyle, 38, is survived by his wife and two children."""

I am curious if there will be more come out of this story. I hope not. Sounds like potential for another hero to get his name soiled. I hope he wasn't involved in something that he shouldnt have been. I like anybody that punches a politician.

Yep, I think you missed something there. He was performing a great service and although he was an (EX)-SEAL, he lost his life while still "serving".

A lot of vets are finding ways to serve. My nephew did three tours in Iraq and came home with MS. He is disabled now and can't do much as far as work goes so now he volunteers his time and helps vets navigate the paperwork and VA process when they have issues with PTSD and the like. A very high number of Iraq veterans have MS and I predict it'll eventually be like Agent Orange when the govern,ent finally owns up to it.
