    American Sniper

    I just started reading American Sniper by Chris Kyle. Do yourselves a favor and go get this book. It's well written and the author doesnt have an elitist attitude like in the book Killing bin Laden by Dalton Fury. I've only been reading it a couple hours and I'm on page 70, I simply can't put the book down.

    I'm about half way in. It is a good read. Some funny stories in there too.

      Read that book and it was pretty good. Also try Joker One by Donovan Campbell it was my favorite Iraq war book. Gave an honest opinion of the war during its second phase.

        I liked the book - lots of one/two page action snippets. Lots of funny stuff - some sad. Reminded me of all the friggin horseplay that used to go on. And the CoC BS...

          I'd like to know if the story behind him knocking out Jessie Ventura is true or not. One of them is lying and I don't know who.

                  I just got done reading it....I was amazed at how much shooting he did aside from being a sniper. The building to building raids and firefights in the streets were intense, he is the deadliest sniper, but saw a lot more combat than just through a scope.

                  PM me, I will sell the book for 50% off what I paid for it + shipping (I bought it at Barnes and Noble)

                      Been reading American Sniper. Good read so far.

                      One of his weapons was a MK12 which he carried most busting into houses and buildings. In fact, he noted that he had to replace the lower w/ an adjustable stock.

                      I thought that MK12's barrel were 18inches instead of 16inches as he noted (page 99 for ref).

                          I met him last month. A very humble, down to earth man.

                              I just purchased this book the other night so that I can read it. I have to finish off Generation Kill first though.

                              Is Joker One really that good of a book? If it is I might have to pick it up.

                              We were the last boat to carry this flag in the original tradition. Now every boat carries it.The tradition is lost.
