He claimed to be a badass? He said he wasn't shit compared to Carlos Hathcock because his gun was computerized and said he was basically a 'monkey on a gun'. I don't understand the hate for this guy. He always seemed modest despite having the highest kill count in US history, and did plenty of work for veterans after his service ended. Seems like you guys are all jealous and bitter faggots desu

>>33212153
The difference between oper8rs turned authors like Chris Kyle and Marcus Luttrell is that Luttrell's experience was incredibly traumatic, even more so than the average SEAL's. His entire team was wiped out and he spent a little over a week being taken care of by local Pashtuns until he was rescued. All of the heroics that he describes in his book are those of his fallen comrades. He wrote his book to provide himself with closure and tell the world of SEAL team 10's sacrifice. Chris Kyle wrote his book to push this "Legend" narrative about himself

No that particular one is inferred. The Pentagon admitted in 2007 that baiting was an approved tactic. Other SEAL's have admitted to using it.

Because movie Chris Kyle goes from egotistical asshole to egotistical asshole with intense paranoia who constantly lies to others and himself because he can't stand to face his own weakness.

You're supposed to sympathize with him because of his emotional damage, not because he's a good person. Because he isn't.

Feel kinda sorry, at one point he seemed like a genuine guy who kinda got tragged into telling tales. On another hand he more or less knew what he was doing, and built a company around it, trying to cash in on lies.

I don't mind the movie tho, its not a documentary so obviously I dont take it seriously, basically a Hollywood flick. But most Military stories tend to be overhyped by making them into Hollywood blockbusters, e.g. Lone Survivor, where most people would appreciate the real story and pace, Hollywood opt for action and explosions.

The problem with that is Eddie Routh never saw any combat and was never once diagnosed with PTSD. He was just a psychopath.

Kind of like Chris Kyle.

His fucking Wiki page is straight bullshit, too. The "sources" for the claim about the bounty on his head are two articles about the book... whose sources for the claim are the book itself. In both articles, they also reprint the claim that he was shot twice and blown up six times, yet he has not a single Purple Heart.

He also evidently claimed to have two Silver Stars (only one, actually) and five Bronze Stars for valor, but has only four, and just one of those was a valor decoration.

All this dude did was fucking shoot civilians, then lie about it.

Yes, in a recent interview I heard on Sofrep, basically there were multiple witnesses to the fight with Kyle. However, most of the SEALs there were active duty and not keen to get involved with a civil lawsuit, as it would probably violate their security clearances and so forth.

Wigga please! WWII G.I.s would steal from supply convoys headed to the front in Italy and France then sell shit on the black market, and there many deserters (from all the Allied forces) involved. Deserters even formed criminal gangs some of which lasted longer than the war. The US only executed one deserter, but charged about 38,000 and there were many who didn't get charged if they returned to the fight. Some returned to the fight from jail by taking amnesty.

https://www.amazon.com/Deserters-Hidden-History-World-War/dp/0143125486

Pacific G.I.s sent home Jap skulls in WWII so often it made the news. My old car restoration mentor was a Korean war vet and mentioned he souvenired skulls while TDY at Okinawa. Of course the battle was long over but apparently there were plenty to choose from. The "greatest generation" were people like anyone else, and back then people were a lot tougher and crustier than they are now.

Basically he did lie, or at least omitted details. Sure they all died, and there was the fall down the mountain but basically them getting fucked was their own fault. They packed radios with too short of a range to save weight, moved the insertion point too close because they didn't want to hike in, and then their fall back was their original insertion that the locals already knew about which is why they shot them down with an RPG.

You are giving far too much credit to Kyle, or the US military.

Multiple books have described how the US military senior brass either forgot or deliberately ignored the hard COIN lessons learned in Vietnam at the outset of the Iraq invasion.

Do you expect enlisted dumbfucks to know better than the generals?
>>
>>33224721

So what was their goal, then?

Did they expect all those little Mohommads to gratefully welcome the sham of a government we set up when their dads were all gunned down by US troops on the way back home from the grocery store?

What was the mentality behind ROE like that?
>>
>>33225445
>So what was their goal, then?

Who knows? Even the Pentagon had no coherent strategy in Iraq six months after the initial invasion was finished, never mind when it kicked off.

Psychopathy or idiocy. In Kyle's case, both.

Marcus Luttrell made up most of what happend during Red Wings. There were never any goat herders who literally stumbled onto them, and obviously the "debate" never took place as there were no herders since the team was spotted from a distance and was engaged right away after that. If he wanted closure, why did he make the other three guys look like pyscho assholes who were considering killing the kids and old guy, yet he was the only one opposed to this the entire time? The public doesn't know what Axelson was actually like, but in the movie he's depicted as this bloodthirsty potential war criminal.

Then of course there's the fact that there were fighting something like 10-15 Taliban, but in the movie they literally state there are 200 fighters and kill 30+ during the battle. The near-execution by the Taliban and the final battle in the village never happened either.

Why make up an entire narrative for dramatic purposes and attention when the actual story is already incredibly interesting? I don't think anyone questions the intensity of the firefight as it actually happened, but the sheer amount of bullshit in the film was obscene.
>but it's just a mov-

Chris Kyle was a sociopath long before he entered the service. This is what made him such an effective sniper. He really had no qualms about shooting people, or lying. His moods, abuse nature towards friends/family, his constant stream of lies, etc. etc. all point to the classic signs of a sociopath. If he never joined the military, he would have instead spent his life destroying those around him (socially and personally) through manipulation, social experimentation, and isolation. Most sociopaths never cross the line into murder or rape, simply because they don't want to risk a prison sentence, but they're usually VERY good at charming/seducing your wives, girlfriends, sisters, etc. and systematically destroying your personal life.

I have no doubt that if he had continued to live, he would have eventually gotten bored with cheating/seducing/manipulating and started raping/murdering.

I'm glad he's fucking dead. Sociopaths are not people that can be "fixed". The only "good" ones are either dead, or in prison.

I don't know. Why would I read his book. I'm just saying. Kyle had a few thousand kebab to shoot, most of which were hidden at all times and if he ever shot anyone there was an air of "No court marshal pls" because he killed "too many people".

sociopath/psychopath are both used to describe those with antisocial personality disorder. Neither are really "official" terms and there is no "official" consensus of the difference between the two, just a bunch of pop-psychology bullshit.

Standard diversion argument. The subject here is the US military, not the insurrection. The claim is that the US military made numerous bone-headed decisions that strengthened the hand of the resistance. This is not really a point of argument, even the Pentagon admits they fucked up big time.

This neocon ploy of accusing critics of wanting more death to cover up the failures of the US military and dampen the prescient predictions of anti-war voices both inside and outside the military is getting stale, anyone with a brain can see right through it.

My two cents, killing foreign contractors is counterproductive. And in the context of this thread, i.e. making fun of your claim that all resistance against occupation is comprised of sectariarn death squads, these actions does not bolster your argument in any way whatsoever.

If you were referring to Sons of Iraq during the surge era, that was the US attempt to bribe Sunnis into not joining the Sunni resistance. The death of the Madhi army ended Shiite infighting, and the conslidated Shiite death squads promptly went to work killing Sunnis in the 2010's.

topkek. Why should I believe you? You made a percentage claim without a total number, the onus is on you to provide said total.

On the other hand, criticism of the disbanding of the Iraqi army is a constant theme in interviews with Pentagon brass and ISIS is run by Iraqi Sunni veterans of the resistance. You can derive whatever conclusion you want from those observations.
>>
>>33232449
>and ISIS is run by Iraqi Sunni veterans of the resistance
No, again, it is a combination of the prisoners, which were mainly foreign zealots, that the Iraqi government just let go after US withdrawal, and the fighters were members of the Sons of Iraq, a loyal Sunni Militia group that turned on the government because they decided to just stop paying them.
>>

So you're saying the heroic resistance fighters went on to become ISIS.

Why is shooting them bad again?
>>
>>33232435
>So your source is their press release?

Yes, it is. Their political statement states they are against sectarianism, therefore they are an anti-sectarian group, unless you can demonstrate they engaged in sectarian violence after their formation.

The Islamic Army of Iraq, a member of the council, helped ISIS take over in 2014.

I suspect that this activity was sectarian in nature.

>Ansar al-Sunni is still up to the usual tricks.

As usual, strawmen and mispresentation on your part.

I have always maintained that the resistance was *mostly* Iraqi, not *entirely*.

This article in 2006 states that 14000 people are held in US military prisons, mostly in Iraq: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/14000-held-in-overseas-us-prisons/

600 of 14000 is less than 5%.

I read this somewhere too, they had the exact quote but I can't remember it.

Kyle said something like, "I don't trust this guy, watch my six" or similar

Yeah and there's a classified report somewhere detailing all the WMD's the CIA found in Iraq. Fuck off with your secrecy argument.

The Pentagon made it a point to allow reporters to take photos of foreign passports recovered to try to push Bush/Rumsfeld's flypaper theory. And even after Fallujah their passport haul was pathetically small.
>>
>>33234939

I think Kyle was trying too hard to be a "good guy" to call the whole thing off
>>
>>33234939

The crazy guy was the son of one of the teachers at the school that Kyle's kids went to

The teacher was the one who approached Kyle and asked him to help her son (who was a fucking nutty schizo). I guess this is why he didn't back out.

This was the weird part, apparently from the articles I've read Kyle is the one who suggested shooting.

The crazy dude's mom just asked Kyle to spend an afternoon with him or something

Probably not the best idea on his part
>>
>>33235566

Plus all the ones they found in the city. The US government wanted to push a narrative and it did not pan out, similar to the body-count narrative in Vietnam.

Similarly, with all the claims of foreign jihadis, why were US military prisons overwhelmingly filled with Iraqis? Were the foreigners so much smarter at hiding in a foreign land? Or perhaps US military intelligence was woefully incompetent and were unable to locate the supposedly foreign ringleaders.

>>33212984
Something I didn't realize until I had reread the book was that when Kyle talks about "being lucky" to be in the places to make shots and tells a story about replacing another sniper on the rifle and immediately getting a kill is that the other sniper wasn't just shooting every man he saw for the flimsiest reason and Kyle was. That's why he got a kill so fast, and why he would come off of OPs with half a dozen kills.

In that story particularly he had just shot an unarmed man that the other sniper had refused to shoot a few seconds before when he was on the gun.
>>
>>33239146

It wasn't PTSD. Ruth has schizophrenia. He was the quintessential Fobbit. Just because someone has a traumatic stress disorder means they are dangerous to themselves or others.

However, I agree it's fucking dumb that he took a guy who he didn't trust and had bad feelings about to a gun range, alone, and handed him a weapon, then turned his back on.

Justifiable and ethical aren't interchangeable, and most acts of terror are at least somewhat justified albeit unethical.
