Wow, just finished the book tonight. Im not a reader ( last book I read was 2 yrs ago during my honeymoon ha!) and I finished it in 3 days.
This book was great and well written. Put a whole new perspective on war, patriotism and heroism for a civi like myself. I have a new found respect than I had before and now understand better what I will never get to be apart of.
I HIGHLY suggest reading this.

Anyone have a kindle version they can loan?

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.

Chris Kyle has the backing of 2 SEALs who were in the bar that night. Ventura hosts a tin foil "reality" program on TruTV....nuff said...

JOKER ONE IS A MUST READ! It is a great book. The author is honest in his accounting of the events.

You guys would probably like Warrior Soul by Chuck Pfarrer. It's about his time as a Navy Seal in Beruit during the USMC Barracks bombing.I'll be picking up American Sniper as well.

Other good ones.

Finished it a couple of weeks ago. It's a good read. Kyle seems to be a salt of the Earth guy. I recommend it.

Sad about the ROE's theses guys have to abide by.

Ya finished a while ago. Made me want a 300 win mag.

Ok so I have less then 100 pages left to the book. So far it has been great. Its nice how it takes both his and his wifes viewpoints on different aspects of his service.

good book. Jesse went on to politics. you have to guess which is lying ?

[segfault]

I heard a radio segment about the Ventura incident, the SEAL said Ventura brought politics to a funeral and he punched Ventura. Ventura was ~60 years old. Didn't seem like anything far-fetched about the story, any argument is probably over small details.

I wouldnt mind buying a used copy either and paying for it to be shipped to my FPO address...

When im done reading it in a few days, ill send you my copy free of charge. PM with your address.

So far, this is a really good book. I was actually stationed at Ali Al Saleem the same time he was there. Didn't know the SEALs were even on that base.

This year I've read Act of Valor and American Sniper, and I am halfway through Lone Survivor.

LOL. just read all three too.

if you google you can find the audio on the Jesse incident from CHris point of view.

I finished this book a few weeks ago. I agree, it was a great read. I also enjoyed SEAL Team 6 memoirs of an elite navy seal sniper. I truly appreciate our service men and women and their multiple sacrifices to protect our country and freedoms.

Just finished American Sniper. Great book. To me the read was like i was in a bar with him and he was telling me some cool stories.

Joker one was awesome too!
