RIP Chris Kyle- Deadliest American sniper in history

RIP.

But while we're on the topic of deadly snipers, check out this dude. "White Death."

Actually looks like his wiki has been edited (shortened) some since I last saw it. It was posted on one of our threads a couple years ago. The "Wikipedia" Thread, or something.

I remember reading back then that this dude would lay down in the snow (in the brutal winter, mind you) and put some snow in his mouth to eliminate the steam of his own breath. Just a complete hard ass.
 
Yeah and one of the crazy parts about that guy was that he used iron sights so that there was no glint of the scope.
 
Chris Kyle's book is incredible. Tragic loss.
 
this is hilarious. avid gun control opponent and human killer killed while shooting for fun by another vet with a gun. why don't they delve in to his actual death at all?

Who's "they?" Because lots of people, on all parts of the spectrum, have delved into it. I've seen crazy super conservative conspiracy theories claiming he was offed by Obama's socialist soldiers, and I've seen shameless progressive vaginas try and paint a neat picture that amounted to nothing more complex than "live by the sword, die by the sword."

For what it's worth, the Salon article posted above is the most in-depth piece I've seen on Kyle's death, despite its (intentional) inflammatory opening.

shameless progressive vaginas like ron paul?
 
Chris Kyle was an American warrior that gave a lot for his country. Politics is politics. I don't personally care very much for General McChrystal's politics, but the guy is an American warrior and I respect him in that aspect just the same.
