I think the lawsuit was crap. But Kyle told some sea stories. About killing two carjackers on highway 67 in Texas, and all he had to do was give the cops a magic number to call. And the voice at the pentagon says he was a hero, and they have to release him. That’s just silly.
And Lone Survivor Lutrell mentioned Kyle’s Superdome sniper in Katrina fantasy.
Hell, I like him more for shining on the yokels with a few sea stories. And it was uncool of Ventura to sue. But we shouldn’t be ignorant and act like Kyle’s story was a hard cold fact.
Like Pappy Boyington said, “show me a hero, and ill prove he’s a bum”. Id rather enjoy Kyle as a real dude and not some sort of tin plated ersatz angel. Real is good.

Maybe he did, but he is no longer with us. That’s when this should have all been thrown out. It wasn’t his wife’s words that were on trial so once Chris Kyle was gone so should have been this lawsuit. I also agree with you, he did come across as the real deal, warts and all.
