I have read several books on the war and American Sniper provided an unparalleled picture of snipers’ roles during the campaigns in Fallujah and Ramadi and how they supported other military units. But what I lean toward is that you know all of your sins, and God knows them all, and shame comes over you at the reality that He knows. He has no qualms about killing; rather, he is at pains to tell us, over and over, that he simply loves it. then the book provides a good look into how a government can distort someones view of the world to use them for their own gain.

With time, the matter-of-fact approach will be invaluable to all the poor rubes who will study political science. The book gave a much more in-depth look at Chris' time on deployments and being of military background that was more of what I wanted to know about. While there’s absolutely no evidence that Kyle was ever in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina, the fact that Kyle would brag about shooting (mostly black) looters suggests a disturbing propensity for lying and exaggerating, and an even more disturbing racist worldview. He may hold me back until last and run everybody else through the line, because it will take so long to go over all my sins.He has no doubt why he is fighting the war in Iraq: it is not to help the Iraqis (as the US government would have us believe), it is to "stop this shit from reaching America".

Of course, it's crucial that they must be able to depend on the fellow next to them in active warfare but I kept wondering when the true, authentic Chris would emerge. This article explores the individual, situational, and system roles influencing the 2011 incident in which a small unit of US Marine scout snipers urinated on three Taliban corpses. And his killing of the mythical Iraqi sniper "Mustafa" by an impossible long range shot in the end is straight out of one of his old movies. For me, this was just a sad propaganda piece, there are far better books out there, couple comes to mind right away, My War: Killing Time in Iraq and The Good Soldiers that gives a far better and real picture of the current 'wars'. S. Military History" is a gripping and powerful autobiography that provides a profound insight into the life of an American hero.I know I would defend our country, and I know if I was Iraqi and some foreign invader came in to steal my property and freedom then I'd defend myself as well. I was hoping for some semblance of reflection on what it's like to be in a situation with the power to take life, the thoughts that would go through someone's head, a meditation on the situation in Iraq that allowed people -- yes, the "insurgents" "savages" and "muji" are indeed people -- to take actions like they do.
