Im not sure why so many people in here are offended?

I'm not offended by his lying, it's just a discussion to me. Seals do seem too have more chest thumpers than other sf types and I don't think Kyle was held in very high esteem by his fellow Seals, even before he was killed. I think the crux of the discussion is that if he lied about these things, and they weren't little white lies, how can anything else he claimed be credible?

Kyle is a piece of shite for claiming he executed United States citizens without a trail simply for looting. This claim is so unamerican that it taints anything he previously accomplished.

Isn't him pretending to be Rambo in the book as well? Basically he tells a story about getting deployed and coming across a group of protestors while leaving with baby killer written on the signs. It's pretty much a paraphrased story from First Blood where Rambo talks about coming home and seeing maggots with baby killer signs. No one could verify this one either. Dude was full of shite.

I think there was something he talked about covering up finding chemical weapons so we didn't embarrass some other country. Don't really remember that one.

No no, I agree with your stance. I am wondering why people are offended we are calling him a liar and embelisher. Most military men I know roll their eyes when you talk about the Seals in the media.

Because if there's one thing that OT posters don't do and won't tolerate or engage in, it is embellishing personal accomplishments.
