Is Chris Kyle a perfect human being? No one is (other than Jesus, if you are a Christian). Did he serve honorably and save American and Iraqi ally lives? Absolutely. <br /><br />I do not think killing 160 people makes you a hero. Serving with distinction and going above and beyond makes you a hero. Maybe you should read his book and see the movie before you opine. Evi L.

But why elevate a person with these issues to the status of hero? Michael S. Alfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01662467336357195633noreply@blogger.com
