We live in a time where brave men doing heroic things is extremely rare. When we find a hero*, even an embellished one, we tend to set them up as an ideal to be followed and lived up to.

The best thing that could have happened was for him to die tragically. His status as a hero* was upgraded to legend when he died.

You have to be completely utterly full of shit, be aware that you are full of shit, and know that being full of shit would damage another person. It's particularly hard when it comes to public figures, and Kyle had a history of making shit up - from his medals, to murdering people in NOLA, to the WMDs he found that the Iraq Commission couldn't, to the gas station shootout that never happened.

The preponderance of evidence suggests that Kyle was a habitual liar andlying about Venture. I'd personally stretch it to suggest that Kyle was a narcissist.

Oil made money by keeping it as the national standard.

But Iran and 9 other countries in the ME and here and there were the last holdouts on using Gold as their National Standard. After Op DS that immediately dropped down to two I believe.

And considering at the time, Iran was considered a serious enough military power and Saddam was negotiating his own little corner of the world where gold was king, and how the NFR has had their hands firmly welded to the balls of almost all National Banks in the world, except for a few in the ME?

Banks made off, oil was just means to the end.

I feel bad for him being so fucked up. Even after becoming a SEAL, he had to bullshit and lie. Then write a book about it. Then pull others into his habitual lie and slander them because instead of being a SEAL he had to be THE PREEMINENT SEAL SNIPER who put himself and team into grave danger, disobeyed orders and kinda got away with murder during a natural disaster. Then finally started using vets with real problems as props for virtue signaling his way into money. He's like that kid in middle school that keeps one upping himself.

Take your pick.

It was a continuation of the first gulf war. UN Resolution 1441: Iraq is found in material breach of all 27 requirements for Saddam Husseing to remain in power. Both chemical and nuclear WMDs are on one line.

Saddam had kicked out the weapons inspectors in 1998. Without the inspectors there was no chain of custody and this was compounded by Saddam intentionally spreading rumors that he had WMDs. These rumors were an essential deterrent to keeping his neighbors in fear of him, but eventually backfired when he had to convince the US that he got rid of them.

The No Fly zone. After hostilities ended, Saddam requested the use of his helicopters to supposedly deliver aid. He delivered bullets to quell the uprising of the kurds and the shiites. The UN instituted the no-fly zone to keep him from massacring (more) of his civilans. Saddam fired on US aircraft patrolling this zone 88 times, not including our allies. He also put the AA systems on top of hospitals and schools to use them as human shields.

Then there was the Oil for Food program run by Kofi Annan's son. Corrupt UN officials were taking kickbacks and giving Saddam liquid assets which he then used to keep himself in power and fund his armies... rather than give food to his people. This undermined peaceful sanctions and solutions. When peaceful solutions are sabotaged, war is the result.

just calling a spade a spade. that view is childish, just like your meme.

all that technology was in development before the war, and the hard work of actual commercial development of said technology was finished by the private economy. narrow focus wartime usage of technology is incompatible with the commercial usages that drive human development.

definitive proof that human development is oppositely aligned to war is that every rational metric of human development has skyrocketed in the last half century in a period of historically unprecedented level of peace.
>>
>>34211028

As I recall Iraq acceded to the UN demands in 1441 and the UN agreed they did, the US government unilaterally dissented and launched the war.

Since the UN is the body that decides whether Iraq is in compliance, using 1441 as the legal casus belli is pure bullshit.

>>34209271
Was it the nuclear material that we now know didn't exist thanks to Vallory Plume? I remember when I saw the blueprints to the chemical warfare vans on the news, it was certainly those right? Even though we never found a single one? It was all the sarin and vx gas that magically disappeared when we invaded right? I was told we went there for the WMDs, repeatedly. So it must be all of the WMDs we found, right?

Iraq acceded, US accused them of stalling. UN weapons inspector said that Iraq's previous reports were false, inaccurate or contradictory and the multiple caches of undocumented chemical WMDs found for years afterwards bears out the truth. Even if the UN weapons inspectors had destroyed all the ones from previous reports, more chemical weapons were hidden amongst the other munitions in Iraq's armories. Iraq was in breach, no worming your way out of it.

1441 was not the start of finding Iraq in breach. It was the end of a chain of resolutions and sanctions that didn't do their job of forcing Iraq to comply. The US and its allies had tried to get the UN to agree on a resolution leading to war, but France, China and Russia were promising to veto any direct authorization of force.

1441 had to omit that in order to get its unanimous vote, but 1441 also stipulated that this was the last chance. No further opportunities were to be given.

France and others were still threatening to veto an authorization of force after Blix reported Iraq was non-compliant... Not too surprising then why the US and its allies had to do it themselves. You'd sooner get the UN to declare Israel the #1 violator of human rights.

So yeah, the UN is pure bullshit for not upholding the previous resolutions before 1441 and blocking military action against a country that is bribing UN officials to undermine peaceful sanctions.

Iraq was so safe before the US pulled out under Obama that they could do a special there. They landed in body armor and helmets and disguised themselves in full burkas before realizing that they were being idiots and that no one was going to shoot them, kidnap them or blow them up.

....then Obama happened. Hillary said: "we didn't get that done" and shrugged her shoulders when asked why a full pullout without a reserve force was not left in Iraq to prevent exactly what we have today.

Chemical and biological weapons fall under the umbrella of WMD's and are pretty fucking illegal regardless of how effective it is, which is pretty bad when dropped in population centers as we've seen.

What are you going on about? The UN writes the reports, not Iraq. The UN's chief inspector declared Iraq was in compliance right before the war started.

>the multiple caches of undocumented chemical WMDs found for years afterwards bears out the truth
Not a single one of which are prohibited items. David Kay has never claimed to have found a single stockpile in Iraq which definitely proves Saddam was in violation.

>the UN is pure bullshit
On the contrary, the US completely failed to prove the UN was wrong in regards to WMD. You can think whatever you want of their oil-for-food program, because which was never mentioned as a cause for war.

>Iraq was so safe before the US pulled out under Obama that they could do a special there
So, the Green Zone was always safe? Shocking, really.

>why a full pullout without a reserve force was not left in Iraq to prevent exactly what we have today
The US military's greenback driven counterinsurgency strategy was a failure from the get go. The surge was little more than the same Vietnamization stunt from 40 years ago, with the exact same prospect of long-term success: absolutely none whatsoever.

The latter is irrelevant from a compliance standpoint. The former is not a violation, as the US government was forced to concede after David Kay/ISG came up blank.

That bullshit organization was right on WMD and the US government was wrong. Funny that.

>Yes, just before the US pulled out there was basicly no insurgency in Iraq.
A quasi-peace based on bribery does not constitute a counter-insurgency victory.

Irrelevant when the entirety of the US military's strategy was based on delusion and ignorance. It was a failed war from day 1 due to that.

stop choking on neocon dick for a split second to consider the idiocy of your analogy

every single agent found by the US government after the invasion was allowed under the ceasefire terms. those multi-use precursors were not considered violating items. the US government found no smoking gun. therefore your claim is purely a divination of Saddam's intent, i.e. totally worthless opinion.

Or is it e-tool to e-tool?

I actually do agree that we have experienced long relative peace times (that is pretty much fact tbqh), and that that does affect technological development, but I still think that wartime brings quicker advances in technology. In contrast all of our research in peace time get thrown into war, and vice versa. I personally believe we need a mixture of both if you want them to thrive. War is human nature, and so is innovation.
>>
>>34213574
>wartime brings quicker advances in technology
no, only narrow and specific technologies gets rushed through and the vast majority of those aren't useful in commerce. moreover war technologies tend to be low-risk evolutions of already developing technologies. the true innovations that drive human development is risky and failure prone and does not take place during war time.

you're probably a bit too young to remember.

we went to war because the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff swore under oath in front of the united nations security council that we had to go to war RIGHT FUCKING NOW because we know sadaam has WMDs and we know right where they are

so we go to war, and when they get there, "yeah, about that...we only thought those were wmd. also, you give all rebuilding contracts to blackwater and haliburton please" to which they said "fuck you we're giving those contracts to the french" so not only did we go to war under false pretenses, we didn't get the spoils of war, either.

thanks, bush.

It is astonishing that so many/k/omrades truly believe this. Despite all of the hindsight, I'd wager the majority of you mouth breathers still think invading Iraq was in your own National interest, least of all Iraq's.

You can quote Wikipedia all day, it doesn't change the fact you are so colossaly misguided to believe victory was anywhere within reach. If the past 14 years haven't proved to you by now that the middle East is not ready for a liberal democracy, then there is no hope left for you besides spewing half baked justifications for America's invasion of Iraq.

Posts like this is yet another example so many of us have learned absolutely nothing from recent history.

Those might be true... the fact that he talked about them makes me think either highly embellished or a lie. Most real heroes names are never known because they're smart and humble.

Real heroes don't make fun of a soldier with ptsd and ask him if "he's going to shoot or keep talking like a faggot". Which were in fact this great heroes last words before being gunned down. His charity was free range time for him and his friends to shoot all day, the ptsd angle backfired, a real charity should of at least had a trained counselor or therapist.

Chris Kyle is quite possibly everything I hate about modern special operatives.

If you actually read about Chris Kyle, you'd learn that he was a braggart, a liar and little more than a jingoistic crusader with chip on his shoulder. In his book, he admitted to killing children, and using lures to get them out into the open. He also claimed that he extra-judicially killed "baddies" in New Orleans during Katrina. Most egregiously, I can't think of anyone who could possibly LOSE a slander or libel case, least of all against that idiot Jesse Ventura. A soldier doesn't brag about his accomplishments and expects to be called a hero. He does his duty and allows his actions to speak for him.

There's a new joke among the grunts about the perceptions concerning spec ops and spooks these days:

>How does one kill a Navy SEAL in urban combat?
>Simple, lure him out with a two million dollar book deal.

American Sniper's portrayal of Kyle is symptomatic of this paradigm in the media. Mystified by these individuals, journalists and the media portray these "super soldiers", shrouded in secrecy, as morally complex warriors whose training and abilities have elevated them above mere mortals to win wars.

Of course, it couldn't be farther from the truth. Recent years have shown that Special forces as strategic assets are rather ineffectual. One only has to look at Operation Red Wings or other failures. Indeed, even the raid to kill Bin-Laden couldn't escape some complication, which resulted in the destruction of a prototype stealth helicopter.

The problem with this film portraying Kyle as a "hero" is that it exists on the precept that he saved lives by taking them. Maybe he did. But if saving lives is the measure of heroics, my father, who has labored as an ER doctor for over thirty years is more of a hero than Kyle will ever be.

One cannot claim that Kyle is a hero without admitting to the idea that life, especially human life, is cheap.

This has been pointed out before and it did not go down well, even though at the time and with the individuals in question it was the truth.
>>
>>34218206
Probably because it glosses over the truth that modern "warfare" is currently about occupation.
Special Forces are very good at what they do. But you need targets

And until you have a "gestapo" going around rooting out dissenting citizens, you're not going to have a lot of targets in a soft occupation

So they're "ineffectual" implies that they're bad at their jobs. The truth is that they're a specialized tool and you can't use a pair of needlenose plyers to sweep up sand.

Secret Squirrels and drones are a terrible way of fighting an insurgency, but they make for good press in the short term and fulfill the manly fantasies of those involved.

As a comparison, consider fighting the Japanese in WWII. When you get told the lessons of the war, it's usually about how we had the best planes and they did so well you guys, and how our supergeniuses broke the Japanese codes, and all the stuff that makes individuals look like they actually matter.

In reality, the single most effective campaign against Japanese shipping was Operation Starvation, which they just dropped a shitload of aerial mines from B-29s off the Japanese coast. Japanese shipping basically stopped because of it, but you never hear about it because dropping some mines and forgetting about them isn't sexy or awe-inspiring, it's just bland.

Insurgencies are beaten through moderate security and winning over the populace. You gain a lot more support for your side if they see medics to be the ones to come around rather than infantrymen. If they think both sides will kill them, they're of course going to side with their own people rather than the Americans. But, it's not gung-ho and all, so we'll continue "winning" through bombing and raids, and we'll either be there until the end of days or until we get bored and leave.

He lied about a whole lot of not minor at all shit bro.

In the book he claims two armed men tried to carjack him but the total bad ass ninja that he is he just smoked both their asses. The sheriff's dept also loved him for all kinds of reasons and basically just waved him off and they would deal with it.

Nothing remotely close ever happened.

That isn't a minor detail.

A lot of people who knew and fought with him also said he was more a racist sociopath then a war hero. Which describes a lot of snipers in a lot of wars desu.
>>
>>34218751

point being? the ISG did not even find the final precursors, they found chemicals which require multiple processing steps to get to the ready-to-use precursors. that is why they were not banned by the UN ceasefire.

of course the dumb fucks like chris kyle don't know the slightest bit of chemistry. he even says he found wmd's in his book, as in, a paper strip changing color = wmd.

All wrong about the reasons for the war. It was Americans looking for blood after 9/11, the excuses of WMD's and Kuwait were for the foreigners. The politicians used our rage to increase the police state and the taxes, they didn't give a fuck about 9/11. Those of us who were adults back then knew the real reason, and most of us happily supported it at first. Yeah it was fucked up, but that's how it happened.

if you bothered to trace the sources back you would find that it originated from a sofrep article which was collaborated by several SEAL members who were present.
