And from that can we assume that you're well travelled in the south and know this from experience?

Can we also assume that you think all snipers, especially Americans, are "serial killers"?


I live on the other side of the atlantic and even I am well aware of the American South and its synonymity with religious nutbaggery.

I was in the Air Cadets and failed my Royal Air Force medical.

I probably have about 10 hours flying time in military aircraft under my belt and I have an Air Training Corps marksman badge.

Don't know what your point is.

Well, if people are going to make judgements about the actions of a sniper on a battlefield, I just want to make sure that they know what they are talking about.

and as ive already said his personal credentials and military portfolio are of no significance or interest to me. Nor do i have any interest entering a military dick waving contest.

He was at worst a stooge for an imperialist oil grabbing war machine and at best a naive kid who got duped into risking his life for an unjust cause.

Move along, theres nothing to see here.

Bradley Manning is a hero in a healthy society, and Chris Kyle is a hero in a sick society.

Why, because you weren't able to join?

I don't think it would matter what the cause is or was you'd still say it was unjust.

I'm wondering how it is that Chris Kyle can be considered to have been a serial killer or whatever.

and europe's 400 years of land grabbing is somehow better.so your putting america down because of oil grabbing.before world war 1 the austo-hungarian empire's political theme songs was"lets put down england, france and spain for all there dirty land grabing.which was sort of true.germany,austria,hungary were the worst for conquering europe but part of there success in europe was england and france were to busy conquering and exploiting the world to often defend themselves

im wondering too

snypers save lives by stratigicly taking out important targets like generals,colonials and taking out crucial military and poitical personel.which can cripple an army before a battle.without the snyper every battle would be up close with full auto machine guns where many die.

Why would I be mad? Idiots publicly proclaiming their own idiocy for everyone to see saves me the trouble of doing it; notice that I haven't bothered to post any further arguments in this thread.

This act of justice that took place must always be praised. This thoroughly evil man the likes of which are destroying the American people is dead. Look at what's going on in Los Angeles and you'll see a massive pathology over there and the likes of this serial killer epitomises it perfectly. Good riddance to bad rubbish. He said violence does solve things; how right he is, he has been solved!

Kyle said he'd face his maker with a clear conscious and I hope that he has. I do not find the man to be a hero. That's all I'll say about him.

As for the killer, it is a sad reminder of the mangled bodies and minds that this senseless war has left. Is it worth it?


His meeting with Ariman would be quite interesting.

As for me, I see him as neutral; part of the benevolent occupying force.

Some people he shot were probably bad people, some were probably just defending their 'hood from an occupying force; he'd be doing the same thing if the roles were reversed. He'd just be called "Juba" then.

I googled it and the only time the term "serial killer" came up associated with his name were just peaceniks adding their comments to various news topics. This is pertty much what I expected. :roll:
That doesn't make him a serial killer. It does make him a very effective sniper and a patriotic American otherwise the peaceniks wouldn't have their drawers in knots over him.
