No sniper was more feared by Islamic militants than Chris Kyle he left behind over 250 of their bodies. Flags will be flying at half-mast in Iraq for the navy seal that helped restore freedom in a war torn nation. His God given bravery has inspired thousands of youngsters to follow in his footsteps and gain fame and fortune as a made in America killing machine.

Good riddance. The only disappointing thing is that he probably died instantaneously.

Which is far more than one could hope for you.
