Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Chris Kyle/Jesse Ventura

Army special operators seem to have a stronger attachment to the Third S than the Navy. A lot less drama in the public eye.

Nice. Just 7 1/2 years old.

In fairness, you later imply that though they could have happened, it seems a bit far-fetched. My words though.

I think though it could have happened, it is highly unlikely. Anybody who has ever done things for the government has signed all sorts of non-disclosure agreements and knew way beforehand that they were to never speak of it. If they were stupid enough to even talk of it, then it was only to the most trusted people they knew wouldn't be blabbing about it themselves. Going on the air and talking about such events, let alone putting them in a book, is beyond the pale.

To me, unless it is some whistle-blowing type thing, or the person fears for their own life or the life of their family if the info doesn't go public, it dishonors them. On the flipside, it is even more dishonorable to claim to be in on such an event that never happened or that you weren't in on, for whatever motivation. Especially just to enhance your rep for some book or movie.

This stuff adds credibility to Jesse's version of events at the SEAL bar. Jesse himself is less than credible to me, but there were others testifying and other evidence as well as the lack thereof, that made the initial case where Ventura was awarded 1.8 mil. due to defamation AND the award came from either insurance or the book publisher when the case was finally settled after initially being overturned by the 8th Circuit.

I can stop being cute.

You'll always be slow.

That's the radio program that Kyle comes out saying that Ventura is identified as "Scruff Face."

If you click on it, it will open and you can view it.

The podcast with Joe Rogan is from 2016. If you click the play button you can view it.

That's why I typed out a paragraph and not a sentence.

Kyle said the cops standing outside the bar saw him hit Ventura which is why he ran after hitting him, so why didn't someone bring in those cops to testify?

Lots of tells in his telling of the tale...

Very good point about the podcast format. Joe Rogan is one of several podcasters who has been reshaping the information world. Podcasts haven't replaced cable news, but they are making serious inroads.

Guys like Rogan, Shapiro, and others have garnered an enormous following without having any kind of affiliation with mainstream media outlets, which I regard as a good thing. I listen to Rogan's podcasts fairly often, because he has really interesting people on his show, talking about really interesting stuff.

Ventura's account seems fairly compelling.

It just doesn't make sense that Ventura would be mean mouthing his fellow SEALs. How would he benefit by doing so?

How can you defame a politician let alone a WWE wrestler??

No way I would have returned a judgement for Ventura.

Flarve, what was your intention in posting the interview?

Not enough drama around here for you?

I’ve known a few SF guys that did some heavy lifting in combat. None of them seemed similar to Chris Kyle’s public persona.

All are or were Apex predators that would gladly shove a tampon into a bullet hole and keep on fighting. Definitely not drama based dudes...😎

I’d love to see Marcus Luttrell bitch slap ole Jesse.

Well who of us would not defend ourselves from charges as these, if we were innocent of these charges?

Never convince me Kyle's team could not have found witnesses if there were witnesses, and yet not one could come forward and say "yes I heard it, yes I saw it"?

It’s amazing how many replied that they didn’t GAS whether Kyle was making schit up or not because Ventura is according to them a Douche.

I hope none of them ever get on a jury. Freedom and due process and fair and impartial jury be damned, that guy wasn’t my favorite wrassler.

Yur right.... F' the law!

Revealing, isn't it?

Not saying f' the law. Just saying that it is impossible to damage the reputation of a politician!
