Iraq war just keeps on giving. Supposedly an ex-soldier with PSTD went ape shit at the gun range.

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.
