[Demarcus ware]

I guess the analogy buzzed your head, as it flew right over. Any American soldier is a hero in my book, while they are in war. What they do when they get home can lessen that hero status. Kyle is/was a hero in my book, but his lies are taking away from that status in people's minds. Case in point, all the talk is about the lies in his book, and all the friendly fire talk. FTR, because Kyle fired a gun from a distance, and killed many enemy, is no more a hero than any other soldier fighting in war for America. I put no more hero status on Kyle than I do the tank driver that kills just as many enemy. That tank driver saved just as many lives, but it's not as glamorous as shooting 5000 yards. That's why I don't put him on a pedestal, like you guys are. The fact that they made a movie about him has you enamored. He has hero status with me because of his fighting, just like all the other fighters in war, and the fact that he tried to help those fellow fighters after they came home. He had no reason to make up all those stories he wrote about in the book, that are now coming to light as being false. He was a hero, without trying to build it up to the status he wrote about.

I guess I just dont use the word hero as loosely as others because to be called a hero in my eyes you have do something pretty damn special above what others cant/wont or just dont have the abilities to do. Everyone throws this word around a little too much these days. And trust me, this is coming from a guy thats been shot, stabbed, and blown up. Does that make me a hero? Nope just means I got caught not paying attention. To say Chris Kyle is no different from anyone else tells me all I need to know about you and your comments. Its like I said, you are in good company now in my mind and others. You and Michael Moore should get along just fine....
