    Next up we learn that Pat Tillman was really a spy for Al Queda

    Remember me commenting on the article you posted? I know who Chris Kyle is. Seems weird you'd mention me in this context. You can generally dismiss most people as beneath you, but I won't let you get away with that shit. It's lazy, Dick.

    Bite me. You're by far the most condescending poster on this board.

    In fairness Mr S was the first to acknowledge your NYer link to article and say that it was well done. This would make me think that
    he is not buying in to the full Kyle story narrative.

    Not at all. Great day. Very productive. Worked on a veterans' pay case pro bono, even though I hate America. Unwinding with a little Petty now. On the way home to read to the kids. Couldn't be better.

    This is true. But he's also stood up pretty hard for Eastwood's whitewash. Also, I use a treadmill.

    Wonder if Eastwood got to read sensitive material courtesy of GOP friends in high places.

    Was Kyle a fabulist?

    Did Eastwood "whitewash"?

    How gray are the gray areas?

    I'm intrigued by the job of the man: mercenary in the war industrial complex and how boring regular ol' life must be. Guess I'll watch the movie now.

    Where did I do this?

    Also, judging by your attitude and confusion as to your mood, you need to increase your jogging speed. I'd suggest a nice 6.3.

    We need Ballot Box to include this category in the next annual awards.

    This whole on-going character assassination of Chris Kyle seems really off base. They guy served his country
    admirably for 4 tours of duty. On returning home he was killed by another veteran suffering from PTSD. His book
    was an account of his time at war. It did not have a political agenda or slant as Lone Survivor did. Some of the
    stuff that Marcus Lattrell wrote had to many liberals see red. I think the difference is that Marcus Lattrell is still around
    to defend himself and that he was "the hunted" as opposed to "the hunter".
