As you read through the article by William Grigg, you begin to understand just how mentally ill the people of this country have become. In particular the cowardice we display when we move into a jury box, or condoning the actions of a man who does not comprehend morality.

I feel sorry for the children of our country who will have to deal with the like of people like Kyle, and their fellow citizens who will rubber stamp the atrocities of the occupying army we deal with in this country.

That kind of courage, which is conspicuous in danger and enterprise, if devoid of justice, is absolutely undeserving of the name of valor. It should rather be considered as a brutal fierceness outraging every principle of humanity.

~ Cicero, The Offices, Book I Chapter XIX

 As a sniper with the Navy SEALs in Iraq, Chris Kyle was shot twice and wounded on several other occasions. He is credited with 160 confirmed kills. He received several commendations. Of his fierceness there is no reasonable doubt. Whether his exploits display courage is an entirely separate question.

American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, the ghost-written memoir for which Kyle claims primary authorship, offers convincing testimony that Kyle not only failed to display genuine courage in Iraq, but was incapable of recognizing it when it was exhibited by desperate patriots seeking to evict the armed foreigners who had invaded and occupied their country.
