Isn't this the movie about the sniper guy that claimed to have been on top of the super dome after Katrina sniping outlaws?
Yes. He also claims to have been involved in a ridiculously movie-style incident at a gas station. There is no evidence whatsoever that this incident ever occurred. Also, he is the one who claimed to have knocked out Jesse Ventura at a bar (a court found that he defamed Ventura with this prevarication). I read the book. And while I salute his years of service (IMO, he did way too many tours when he could have been at home with his family), I have no interest in the continued lionization of the military with films such as this.

And his claim that there were posters around Iraq with his name and a bounty on it like he was damn Han Solo.
