Chris Kyle knew that he was in danger and did nothing about it? I don't understand this. He, along with his close friend Chad Littlefield take a 25 year old Marine Vet with extreme PTSD to a shooting range. Mistake #1. On the way there, they realize he's mentally unstable, yet they continue with their plans to take him to a shooting range.

>On the way to the shooting range, Kyle texted Littlefield, "This dude is straight up nuts." Littlefield responded, "Watch my six", military slang meaning "watch my back".

>Four months later, while he was in his jail cell, Routh shared a reason with former Erath County Sheriff's Deputy Gene Cole: "I was just riding in the back seat of the truck, and nobody would talk to me. They were just taking me to the range, so I shot them.

If I was going to a shooting range with someone who I legitimately though was mentally unstable, I'd call it off immediately. It just seems like common sense. They were both intelligent men, obviously. Why do you think they allowed this? He survived all kinds of combat, but in the end, he allowed himself to be killed by a psycho. I just don't understand this from someone as highly trained and experienced as he was.

Wasn't he just some dipshit kid who was fucked up from birth and spent his deployment in a green zone and providing disaster relief?

The kikes killed him because they don't want Aryan alpha males alive to kill them.

He let down his cover because he was

If I remember correctly the man who killed Kyle was merely a POG discharged for mental illness and never saw combat.
>>
>>29520611
Kyle was know for his extreme discipline. He was always manning his gun, during his missions. For hours at a time he wouldn't take a break. It just seems odd that of all times, he'd let his guard down around someone he thinks is dangerous, while also being in a potentially dangerous environment. It just doesn't add up to me.
>>
>>29520607
Yes
>>
Literally a CIA hit.
>>
>>29520699
Personally, I believe his own safety and the safety of his friend should have come before trying to help someone else. Even if that person was a fellow vet. I just think that it wouldn't have been such a big deal to say "Hey, I don't think you're ready to go shooting just yet. Let's try something else."

Why does everyone here hate chris kyle? So what if he wrote a book. It was really entertaining to read and pretty well written... well except for the parts by his wife which I didnt care to read. But overall I liked the book. Is it because he exagerated some parts and had to re-write it? I know about the hurricane katrina shit, and yeah it may not have ever happened, but I also had one of my english teachers bring up katrina one time during class ... I honestly dont remember how it got to there, but he was talking about his friend who got sent there during that shit storm and said they had to kill some people who were looting and trying to hurt and hurting other people. In my opinion it is somewhat believeable that a seal team and other military units would be sent in to help control the peace in one way or another. Just an idea.

what the fuck, no.
he only had like 153 confirmed kills, and that number may be off.
no goddamn way it's 300+.

>>29520951
They hate him, because 90% of this board is made up of armchair warriors. Just look at their pics. Most of them are just neckbearded, man children, airsofters. Airsofters because they don't have the courage or competence to fight a real battle. So when they see a celebrated war hero receive recognition for his valiant actions, they feel inferior, as well they should. Because they know they don't have the will or discipline to accomplish half of what he has. They'll never earn the respect that he has. They'll never know what it feels like to truly accomplish greatness. That's why they hate him.

>>29520975
Ill have to check it out, I really liked they style american sniper was written. I wish that the movie did the book justice. It would have been cool to see some of those stories come to life on the screen. For example the story where the rpg comes through and blows through the wall of the building behind them and they chase the haji's out the back and shit like that or gunning down the chechen's. Or the beach ball story.

Alright dude, challenge fucking accepted.

Explain to me what part of Chris Kyle's duties should make me respect his intellect.

Carlos Hathcock modified a Ma Deuce into a proto anti material rifle so he could take shots at 2000 yards. That takes some intellect.

What did Chris Kyle ever do that required any use of the little grey cells?

>Our ROEs when the war kicked off were pretty simple: If you see anyone from about sixteen to sixty-five and they’re male, shoot ‘em. Kill every male you see. That wasn’t the official language, but that was the idea.

No assumptions needed, Kyle either lied, or he admitted to following a ROE that would be considered criminal by any UCMJ panel.

Everything I've seen about the guy makes him sound like a dickhead with something to prove. He probably, in actual life, thought the guy they were shooting with could never get the drop on him because he's Chris Kyle. If he called it off because that guy was nuts it would (a) be acting like a pussy and (b) admitting that guy could actually pose a threat to his life.

Today's military is filled with women and niggers. There is no point in joining because you have to rely on them. The military isn't what it used to be and has progressive gotten worse. Literally wasting time talking about a nobody. Threads like this piss me off because it has nothing to do with weapons.

This is basically what my para rescue jumper uncle feels and I agree with him.

And yet he does nothing to rerail it.

The killing is a classic example of people ignoring gut feelings because we're conditioned from childhood not to be offensive to people. He didn't even need to cancel. If they'd just watched the dude under the guise of being safety nazis it would have been avoided.

He didn't want to be mean to guy with mental issues. Oddly enough the guy still picked up on them thinking he was weird. The lesson here is that you never know how the mentally ill will respond. Their thought processes are utterly alien to you and you need to be ready for anything when dealing with them.

He was probably also confident nothing would go wrong. It rarely does in our day to day lives and besides he's invincible because he's a SEAL.

>He probably thought the guy they were with could never get the drop on him because he's Chris Kyle.
>The killing is a classic example of people ignoring gut feelings
This is probably the most honest answer you'll get in the whole thread.

He racked up an admittedly impressive service record, and then bragged about it because he knew people would idolize him as a hero in an otherwise contentious, oft-debated war. He was unquestionably dedicated, just as he was arguably neurotic. I don't think anyone taking an objective look at the man can deny some narcissistic behavior, at the very least.

For as much as some like to portray Chris Kyle as a down to earth and all-American badass who drank from the keg when he wasn't bleeding on the flag to ensure the stripes stayed red, the vibe I get from watching his interviews and reading his book (ghost-writing debates aside) is one that would have probably made him a chore to be around for any sustained period of time. He just didn't seem very likeable.

Placing a belligerent Type A personality in the same truck with a mentally unstable, shell-shocked war vet with an inferiority complex wasn't going to end well when you filled the bed with a Texan-sized gun collection and drove out to a secluded range.

No medical professional in their right-mind, no matter how pro-fun, would have thought that was a good idea without at least stopping to ask if all parties involved could be trusted around that kind of hardware. And if you're war-wound wasn't physical, I'm going to hazard a guess and say no.

It's both cruel and edgy to say the guy had it coming, but Chris Kyle certainly made it nigh unavoidable.

Soldiers pretty much don't know PTSD exists, even within themselves.
Therefor would have been prentable if he didn't make that book about "muh confermed kills and feelings".

Thinking about this some more I see three events where the tragedy could have been avoided.

First is Kyle not shooting with guys with issues at all. Like you mention not a many people with backgrounds in treating mental health issue would recommend it but I imagine Kyle would say that's just because they're liberal pussies. Fact is though a lot of those guys shouldn't be around weapons as they aren't in their right minds. It's admirable that he tried to connect with them over a shared hobby. That said some selectivity would have helped. Which brings me to number 2.

He shouldn't have ever taken that guy shooting. Assuming that it's perfectly fin to take vets with PTSD/difficulty adjusting back to civilian life shooting he should have used some kind of vetting process, at the very least consisting of meeting with the guys without shooting first. Everything I've seen about the guy that killed him suggests that he had mental problems from before he joined. His family probably tried to use that as an excuse. It less stigmatizing to have PTSD from being in the service than to have been nuts before. A simple lunch or evening chat would have let Kyle pick up on the "this dude is crazy" vibe before he was on his way to the range.

Finally the point I made earlier about range safety. Kyle shot a lot. That tends to make you pretty casual about safety procedures. Not a smart thing to do when dealing with some who is potentially unhinged. If you're going to engage in dangerous activities with people referred to you because their family is concerned about self destructive behavior you should be extra careful. Act like you're dealing with young kids. One of the two should have been constantly watching him just in case. They knew this, hence the "watch my six" text. Kyle and Littlefield shouldn't have been out there with the guy in the first place but if they'd trusted their gut and been a little more cautious they may could have prevented what happened.

>>29521087
stupid. its possible the 29 rounds was coincidence and how can you know he didnt just...also use earmuffs? And seriously, satanically accurate? he was shooting people sitting down at a couple of feet. its not like this would be hard

not saying there wasnt possibly more then just martin byrant on in it, or there isnt a conspiracy with him as the fall guy, but thats a really weak argument.

>Carlos Hathcock modified a Ma Deuce into a proto anti material rifle so he could take shots at 2000 yards. That takes some intellect.

He put a fucking scope on it. That's not really too hard.

It was a pretty meh book honestly.

No worries man, /k/ shit on him before he was dead too

>>29535971
A scope that by todays standards is $50 shit tier quality, to shoot at basically ants in a valley.
Just hiting within 50 feet of a person would be an accomplishment back then

I'm not doubting he was a great shot. Just that he "modified" the m2. It's not like that was a great feat. The shooting was.
>>
>>29536455
I thought he modified it to fire semi as well.
>>
>>29536521
M2s are select fire I believe. If he did though that's pretty clever.
>>
>>29536861
Looked it up again. I was thinking the single shot was part of the enhancement package but it's been a feature since the HB. So yeah all he had to do was figure out a scope mount.

This retard must have been dumb ass fuck. First his country fucks him and he has to fight for the lies of the 1%. Then he gets shot by his so called "brothers" for blabbing to much.
If he was of average intelligence, he would have kept his mouth shout and enjoyed his time with his family. His wife is a slut and slept around, while he was on deployment.

This shit is a slap in the face to all those brave men and women who seek to protect us. It also shows how weak and yellow

the mods and admins and our liberal government really are. This puke has spewed hate speech against the United States Of

America and his thread is still here? I am actually so sick and tired of the mamby pamby policies which have weakened our

Country. Do you think the world is laughing at a king liar who draws lines in the sand? Now some will say, oh you are just

blaming obama. No I am blaming all his gutless wonders and those so called Americans who support and cover for his in

ability to be a Commander and Chief. If he were out to protect the people of America, he would stand up and make it clear,

this kind of edgy trash is treason and sedition seeks to harm America and should be removed. Oh wait this is the same

weakling who says he has an agreement with a country who wishes to destroy us, Iran. What side is he on? He himself is one

of the greatest threats to all that has made America great, with his liberal supporters who have done all they can to

undermine the values, ethics and standards which have made America great. This is again a slap to the face of true

Americans and another example how obama has shown our enemies how weak we have become due to him and his followers.
