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

If the whole thing is a lie,...and I believe it was,..it means that Chris Kyle was a fairly strange individual.

Why would he say all of that nonsense?

I hope that POS Coward that murdered Chris is suffering like no other in prison. 😡

I never could understand why Kyle felt the need to lie. Any man with a Silver Star and FOUR Bronze Stars doesn't need to lie about anything. The shooting looters bit and gun fight at the gas station... why do that?

DEAD PRESIDENTS FACES ARE ON THE FRONT OF THEM .
See Kyle's smile that's a money smile .

Never met Kyle so no clue as to him personally but some people are just that way. I knew a guy for about 20 years that was a legitimate big time coach, coached multiple Olympic medalists and won a pro championship ring, yet over the time I knew him he also claimed to have competed in the olympics and trained at a soviet sports school. He would change the subject when it was pointed out that we knew him when he was in school and competing and never remembered him going to the olympics or ussr

I’d guess that he was just a natural born bullschitter, a very talented and brave one, but a bullschitter nevertheless.
I knew a fellow who was a decorated scout sniper type, numerous tours to Iraq and Afghanistan and a hell of a soldier as verified by two other very good friends of mine who were in the same unit and deployed with him. Heck of a nice fellow, but he came up with some real whoppers, both pertaining to experiences overseas as well as everyday life back home. He was just a BSer is all there is to it.

Habitual liars - lots of them out there - got a few in my family .

Appreciate the clarification.

I requested podcast date and assumed the answer applied to that question.

Suffered through the podcast so aware of its contents.

Some decent speculation as to why that none of us will ever know short of God telling us. That said, the tinfoil explanation is that it was a mission all along and the target was Ventura. Jesse hasn't said anything like that lately as I would guess his lawyers shut him up

Best thing that ever happened to Chris Kyle was getting murdered.

Once you sell out your code of values that you signed up for as a SEAL and decide to chase commercial fame & money,

then the first casualty is usually the truth and ones priority as a civilian becomes promoting/selling your book to the millions of gullible public,
You can spice things up with tales of Katrina, roadside murder in Tx and punching Ventura.. but you also end up polarizing people, ..many
will gladly swallow what others deem as bllschit,....but in the end there are enough that will buy your story and make your rather wealthy.

I recall there were also questions raised as to how Kyle set up his book sales fueled charity for veterans, that millions from book sales
were being held in the charity coffers for prolonged time, with very little used to actually assist veterans as pledged.

considering some of the dark and underhanded shenanigans that some SF vets get involved in after they leave the military,
Kyles ways seem rather mild in comparison. ITs not like he stole the money ,kidnapped, or killed anyone to get it, he sold people
a story and they were happy to buy it.

Sorry.

In the future, I'll only share information regarding rain fall and hummingbird numbers.

Worst thing to happen to the Seals was the movie in the 90's.
Before that, they were unknown to most. Just american service members
doing their job. Once every one understood they were "special" it started downhill.

The asshat who shot Bin ladin is a great example. He did his job, well.
Go home with the satisfaction of a job well done.
Don't go looking for your glory.

As posted before, those are conversations to be had in private, with specific people.
Not the "look at me glory circut".

Kyle told enough whoppers that it makes me question everything he ever claimed.
And that's a darn shame, I believe there were some honorable deeds in the stories.
However, if you are looking at a truck load of rocks, and have no way to ID the diamonds,
they are just rocks.

Jesus...

I hope people like that never serve on a jury either. I don't care who you like better Jessie or Kyle. What matters is the facts of the case. A man who is a former WWF wrestling star, movie star, and governor of Minnesota gets decked in a crowded bar full of Navy seals and no one sees it? No one besides Kyle remembers it? The cops have no record of it despite claims that they did come? Photos of Ventura immediately following the supposed event do not show him with any marks on his face. No black eye. No swelling. No bruise. No split lip. Nothing.

I also think some of the folks claiming they wouldn't have sued are being disingenuous. I bet if some celebrity was going on national radio shows falsely claiming to have stomped a mudhole in their ass they would be singing a different tune. And it's not just about the false claim of the punch. It is also about the pretty despicable things Kyle claimed Ventura was saying about some Navy seals. Ventura was a member of a group that was a precursor to the Navy seals. For that reason members of those units have always been accepted as brethren in the seal community. Those claimed comments if believed would cause irreparable damage to Ventura within those circles.

Another brown stain that dripped down a female's buttcrack regales us with this comment,,,,

I believe what he meant (and he didn't state it very well) was that if Kyle was still alive and having to defend some of his "stories", he wouldn't still be the "hero" that the vast majority of Americans consider him to be. IOW-he died in his prime.

Sweetheart you know I'm the only one for you, no need to play hard to get.

Let me know what else you need explained today.

Sweet-cheeks don't be indignant I elevated the level of conversation about your little topic. You go on now with your bad self.
