No, he isn't a hero because he wasn't furthering a honourable cause. Enabling the disposession of the Iraqi people to further the agenda of western oil companies isn't a heroic act.

If he takes out insurgent RPG gunners, enemy snipers, and machinegun crews firing on or setting up to fire on American patrols or convoys that kinda makes him a defender of American people.
How many Iraqis attacked American soil? None. If the American army weren't in Iraq they wouldnt be getting attacked by Saddam's forces. The Americans were invaders. If anything, Saddam's republican guard and following indigenous resistance forces were defending the Iraqi people.

Half right at best. He was the most lethal sniper of his time but not the most lethal in history.
Wrong again, A british royal marine sniper recently accrued 173 combat kills, beating Chris Kyle.
However the ministry of defence has a policy of not identifying its elite troops.
